Why is there a charge for a carry-on trolley?
Arkia charges $15–20 for a cabin trolley/wheeled bag on some routes. This may apply to specific flight types or high-demand services. Check your booking for whether a trolley fee applies to your flight, or contact the airline to clarify.
Can I bring a personal item in addition to my carry-on baggage?
The cabin bag limit (55×40×20 cm, 7 kg) is your primary allowance. Confirm whether a small personal item (purse, laptop bag) is permitted free of charge by contacting Arkia customer service, as policies vary.
What if my bag exceeds the 23 kg checked limit on an international flight?
Excess weight is charged at €10 per kilogram at EU airports or $10 per kilogram at Israeli and non-EU airports. It is usually more economical to purchase an additional checked bag (if available) than to pay excess-weight fees for significantly overweight luggage.
