Latvian airline airBaltic has revealed its most popular ancillary services of the summer months of 2021.

Checked baggage, advanced seat reservation, as well as pre-order and on-board food sales, have boosted the airline’s non-ticket revenues.

Eva Plakane, SVP Revenue Management of airBaltic commented: “We continue to regularly review and improve our services. Addressing the passenger needs of today, we have provided them with additional flexibility and introduced a new flight cancellation option. At the same time, this spring we improved the allowed weight limit of checked baggage from 20 to 23 kg.”

Most passengers, who purchased advanced seat reservation, select a window seat. Adding advanced seat reservation also enables passengers to check in for the flight already five days before the departure.

This summer airBaltic also saw a 52% increase in the number of passengers who chose to travel with their pets. Among carriers providing direct flights to and from the Baltics, airBaltic is one of the few, which offers such a service.
