Recent Traveller Feedback
I booked the Comfort fare for my vacation trip from Punta Cana to Mexico City and it was totally worth it. The 23kg checked bag was included in the price, and I didn't have to worry about extra fees at the airport. The personal item fit under the seat with no issues. I'll definitely book Comfort again for leisure trips.
I booked the Basic fare on Arajet thinking it included a carry-on bag like most other airlines. When I got to the gate, they told me my bag was too big for a personal item and I had to pay $60 to check it. I wish I had known the Basic fare only includes a small personal item. Next time I'll either book Classic or add the carry-on during booking — it's way cheaper than at the gate.
60 USD
My checked bag on Arajet came in at 25kg, which is 2kg over the 23kg limit. Instead of paying per kilo, they make you upgrade in 3kg bundles. I paid $30 to go up to 26kg. It's a bit annoying because I only needed 2 extra kilos but had to pay for 3. Still, it was better than leaving stuff behind.

Does Arajet include a carry-on bag?
Classic and Extra fare bundles include a free carry-on bag measuring up to 56 x 46 x 25 cm and weighing no more than 12 kg.
Basic and Comfort fares do not include a carry-on bag, as both bundles come only with a free personal item.
A carry-on bag can be purchased separately starting from 25 USD when added during booking, and costs up to 60 USD if paid at the airport gate.
All passengers receive a free personal item measuring up to 40 x 25 x 20 cm and weighing up to 6 kg (10 kg for flights to and from Brazil).
What is the difference between Basic and Comfort fares on Arajet?
Basic fare includes only 1 free personal item up to 40 x 25 x 20 cm and 6 kg, with no checked baggage and no carry-on bag included.

How strict is Arajet with personal item size?

Size checks happen at the gate, especially at Santo Domingo and Punta Cana airports where sizers are used to verify dimensions.
Bags that do not fit in the sizer will be charged as carry-on or checked baggage at airport rates, which are significantly more expensive than online prices.
For flights to and from Brazil, the personal item weight limit increases from 6 kg to 10 kg, but the size limit stays the same.

The first checked bag costs from 20 USD when purchased during booking, up to 45 USD at online check-in and 65 USD at the airport counter.
A second checked bag ranges from 45 USD during booking to 90 USD at the airport.
