Tips for Flying Air Exel

• Verify baggage allowances and size limits before booking because turboprops and regional jets often have stricter carry-on and checked baggage rules than mainline carriers.
• Reserve seats in advance when possible since cabins are small and last-minute seat availability can be limited or carry an extra fee.
• Allow extra time for check-in and connections at smaller airports like Eindhoven (EIN), as desks may close earlier and boarding frequently uses stairs rather than jet bridges.
• Expect minimal onboard service on short regional sectors-bring snacks, entertainment, and any essential medications.
• Check whether your itinerary is codeshared with a larger carrier before trying to link reservations or credit miles, since partner rules affect through-checking of baggage and connections.
