Tips for Flying Welcome Air
- Expect to fly on small regional aircraft with more limited overhead bin space and tighter legroom than on mainline jets.
- Check baggage allowances and fees carefully before booking since regional carriers often have stricter or differently structured allowances than large airlines.
- Plan extra time at the airport for check-in and bag drop, as smaller carriers and regional airports sometimes have limited counters and staffing.
- If you need to connect to a major carrier, avoid very tight connections unless your itinerary is on a single ticket, because independent regional services may not protect missed connections.
- Verify online check-in availability for your specific flight and any charter services, as online tools and lounge access may be limited compared with larger carriers.
