Air Burkina

Allowed dimensions: 56x25xNon disponible cm · Maximum weight: 10 kg

The context in a few words

Air Burkina flies from Burkina Faso on a full-service model inherited from traditional aviation. In practice, that translates to a more permissive baggage policy than budget airlines — though it's still worth checking the exact figures before check-in.

56x25xNon disponible cm and 10 kg: the policy is on the lenient side. Travellers used to low-cost gauges will breathe easier here.

On the ground, posted rules and counter practice don't always align. Air Burkina publishes 56x25xNon disponible cm and 10 kg as the upper bound, and gate agents typically allow 1–2 cm of leeway before routing to hold. Don't bank on it — tolerance evaporates the moment the flight fills up.

In daily use, dimensional checks are less frequent than on low-cost airlines, but the rules apply once a flight fills up. On busy short-haul routes, an oversized cabin bag may end up in the hold for free — a service that quickly becomes mandatory.

The personal item — handbag, sleeve, underseat bag — makes all the difference on long flights. On Air Burkina, used well, it frees the cabin case for essentials and keeps liquids, electronics and papers within reach during the flight.

Business class gets extended weight and dimensions — 10 kg on the most generous tier. Not to be confused with a courtesy upgrade: it's a contractual allowance.
