Flights you can't use
Codeshare flights not operated by Yemenia and charter flights (IY3000–IY9999) can't be booked or listed.
Visas and travel documents
Getting your passport, visas and vaccination certificates, and checking they are valid, is up to you before you set off. Yemenia takes no responsibility for missing or invalid documents, and any fine the airline gets because of them is passed on to you in full.
Baggage
You get the same allowance as a full-fare passenger, but your bags travel only if there is space and the flight's weight limits allow it.
- Economy: 1 piece of 23 kg.
- Business: 2 pieces of 32 kg each.
- Cabin: 1 bag up to 7 kg, which you must be able to lift into the overhead locker yourself.
- Excess baggage is charged under the normal full-fare rules and paid in full at the check-in counter.
- Don't carry items for anyone else.
Check-in
Check-in times follow the standard of each airport. If none is given, check in at least 60 minutes before departure. Once you are listed, you can use the self-service kiosks. Have a copy of your e-ticket ready at check-in.
Through check-in works for confirmed ZED and MIBA tickets, but on standby it is sometimes not available. Leave enough time to land and check in again at every stop.

Yemenia's own staff have priority over other airlines' staff on ZED tickets.
