Passengers can take carry-on luggage up to 10 kg, divided into one or two pieces. One of the luggage pieces can be a standard roll-on suitcase while the other can be a handbag or laptop bag. The maximum dimensions of the main carry-on are 55 x 40 x 25 cm.

• For ‘Light’ passengers – small carry-on baggage (weighing not more than 10 kgs) is allowed, but an amount of $30 USD or $36 CAD respectively needs to be paid for each checked baggage and hence this is most suitable for short business tours or vacations

• For ‘Priority’ passengers - two pieces of 25 kgs each are allowed

Children between the ages of 5 and 18 years minus one day, traveling without an accompanying adult, need to book their Interjet flight tickets under special needs for unaccompanied minors. Minors have to show their birth certificate and passport to obtain a boarding pass. Minors above the age of 12 can travel alone, provided a written consent from the child’s parent or guardian has been provided. A fee of $50 has to be paid for such services (payment for which needs to be made while purchasing the ticket).

Interjet can transport pets, with owners being solely responsible for them. Documents are required to prove that the animal is healthy. Only one pet per passenger is allowed in the passenger cabin or baggage compartment.

In-Flight Amenities:

There are several facilities to make the passengers’ journey special. Interjet’s monthly magazine makes for an interesting read with a variety of articles on fashion, travel, latest news etc. on offer. Passengers can also watch movies and TV series on the screen or listen to music with their headphones. Women-only restrooms are available in every Interjet aircraft.

• Light passengers are assigned seats by the Interjet flight booking but changes can be made with an additional $100 MXN within Mexico or $5 USD or $13 CAD outside Mexico.
• Optima passengers can choose their own seat from the third row. Reservations can be changed for a lower price.
• Priority passengers can choose seats in the first or second row. These seats are way bigger and spacious. No money is charged for changing reservations and one can get an easy refund within 24 hours.

But regardless of what class passengers travel in, everyone gets to enjoy perks like free snacks and beverages along with adequate leg room to ensure a comfortable travel experience.
