Passengers wanting to bring a small suitcase must purchase the 10kg checked bag. This baggage can weigh no heavier than 10kg and is between £8—£10 depending on whether it's purchased online at the time of booking or after the time of booking, but 40 minutes prior the scheduled flight departure time.
