Each Primera Air passenger is entitled for 1 carry-on bag plus 1 small personal item. You need to pay $44.99 or pay for an upgrade if you want to check in luggage. Seat selection will cost at least $39.99 and meals start at $69.99 for transatlantic flights. Looks like there’s also a $12 booking fee unless you use a bank account.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
Pretty good price for travel to Europe, but there’s plenty of fees if you want to check in luggage, select seats etc. Return legs will cost at least $200 so keep that in mind when booking. You do not need to book round trip tho. Just hurry because the $99 fares are going quick.
