Cayman Airways Updates Bag Fees. Rates Remain Lowest.

October 17, 2025

Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) will implement updated checked baggage fees for tickets purchased on or after November 1, 2025. Baggage fees for tickets purchased before that date will be unchanged. While representing a small increase, the new fees will continue to allow Cayman Airways to offer passengers the lowest baggage rates of any airline serving the Cayman Islands. Additionally, the airline will maintain its longstanding 55lb weight allowance per checked bag, which exceeds the industry standard of 50lbs.

The updated fee structure applies to checked bags on international jet flights and offers a discounted rate for purchases made through the Cayman Airways mobile app or website. The first and second checked bags will cost US$30 each when purchased online or via the app, or US$35 each when paid over the phone via the CAL call center or at the airport during check-in (the usual size and weight restrictions apply). Fees for additional bags (Bags 3–8) will also be revised but will continue to be the lowest among airlines serving the Cayman Islands.

There are no changes to the baggage fee structure for Sister Islands domestic flights at this time.

Cayman Airways last adjusted its baggage fees in 2022, when it standardized its rates across routes, and has since continued to absorb rising operational costs while facing intensified competition on international services. The updated fees will support the airline’s ongoing commitment to providing affordable, reliable, and high-quality air service for the Cayman Islands.

Passengers are encouraged to purchase their bags via the new Cayman Airways mobile app or online at www.caymanairways.com to enjoy both savings and a smoother check-in experience at the airport.

As the national airline of the Cayman Islands, Cayman Airways remains committed to providing exceptional value and showcasing the warmth, hospitality, and pride of the Caymanian people. Despite ongoing cost pressures and global competition, the airline continues to offer some of the most competitive baggage fees and inclusive services in the region.
