Fare Types
Bees Airline only offered one cabin class but its fares were divided into three fare types, these were Light, Smart and Flex.
Economy Light
Economy Light had the least allowance and flexibility in the ticket, but it was the cheapest ticket available out of the three. Free change and refund were not available for the fare type.
Economy Smart
Economy Smart had a checked baggage allowance of 23kg and the ticket had some flexibility with a small fee. Although the fare was a little more expensive than Economy Light.
Economy Flex
Economy Flex offered everything that the other fare types offered, but with even more flexibility as the name suggests. Tickets were fully refundable but with a small fee applied.
Baggage Allowance
Carry-on Baggage
Fare-paying passengers were entitled to one piece of 7kg carry-on baggage that didn't exceed 55cm x 40cm x 23cm, for free as well as a personal item such as a handbag, a jacket and a camera.
Carry-on baggage had to fit in the overhead locker or under the seat and it must not have weighed over the permitted limit. A baggage that does not comply with the airline baggage policy would not be accepted and may be asked to transport as checked baggage.
Prohibited items were not allowed on board including any fluid exceeding 100ml. Prohibited items except dangerous goods must have been transported in checked baggage. Batteries and power banks should have been carried onboard and must not have been transported in checked baggage.

Checked baggage allowance depended on the fare type that the passenger purchased. Passengers may have checked a piece of 23kg checked baggage on their flights as long as it didn't exceed 158cm in total dimensions.
Checked baggage must not have exceeded 32kg, otherwise, the airline would not accept the baggage due to international health and safety regulations.
