Motu Link Airline hasn't officially announced anything regarding baggage. However, based on the planes that it uses and the fact that it's a low-cost airline, we can make the following educated assumptions on what its baggage allowance is likely to be.
The airline will likely offer a free carry-on baggage allowance with a maximum weight of 5 kg.
This baggage will likely have to fit within the dimensions of 55 x 35 x 25 cm (21.7 x 13.8 x 9.9 in).
As a low-cost airline, Motu Link is unlikely to offer a free checked baggage allowance. However, baggage will be available to purchase as an add-on for your flight.
Motu Link Airline hasn't announced it's cabin class information however its likely that the airline will only have Economy Class.
Looking at the planes that Motu Link will use, along with the fact that it's a low-cost airline, it's almost certain that the airline will fly with a single Economy Class cabin. The airline will have a cabin crew on board. Any extras on the flight are likely to have to be purchased on top of the price of your ticket.
