Tips for Flying Aerolineas Galapagos (Aerogal)

• Confirm the checked and carry-on baggage allowance before booking, as regional carriers often have different limits and fees than larger international airlines.
• If you’re traveling to the Galápagos, allow extra time at the airport for additional checks and island-entry procedures and have any required documentation ready.
• Check seat selection and upgrade options when booking since smaller airlines commonly charge for advance seat assignments or have limited premium seating.
• Review change and cancellation policies carefully; regional carriers sometimes have stricter or less flexible rules than major network airlines.
