Find quick answers to the most common questions about flying with Westair Aviation.
When do FlyNamibia check-in and boarding close?
Domestic check-in closes 30 minutes before departure; regional/international check-in closes 50 minutes before. Boarding closes 15 and 20 minutes before, respectively. Dedicated bag-drop counters at some airports close 60 minutes before departure.
What does FlyNamibia require for a home-printed boarding pass?
Print the complete pass legibly on A4 paper at a minimum of 300 dpi. Otherwise obtain a replacement at a counter or kiosk. Valid identification is still required at boarding.
What if I check in online with FlyNamibia but will not travel?
Cancel online check-in at least one hour before departure to avoid no-show status, using the website’s Check-In cancellation option. This does not itself constitute a ticket refund.
How does FlyNamibia SkyCheck work?
Place hand luggage weighing up to 5 kg that you will not need during the flight on the cart beside the boarding steps. Collect it when disembarking. Remove valuables first.
Can I take a guitar or cello into the FlyNamibia cabin?
The terms accept instruments only as checked baggage, in a hard-shell case. Arrange carriage at least three business days before departure and sign the required limited-release tag.
How do I book an unaccompanied child on FlyNamibia?
Under-fives cannot travel alone. Children aged 5–11 need prior approval through Reservations, not online, at least three business days ahead. Weekend/Monday travel also has a preceding-Friday 15:00 arrangement cutoff.
What must adults do when handing over and collecting a FlyNamibia unaccompanied child?
Provide written consent and full receiver details. The sending parent/guardian accompanies check-in and stays until take-off. The designated receiving adult must show identification at handover.
How do I arrange onboard CPAP or portable oxygen-concentrator use with FlyNamibia?
Request Reservations approval at least three business days ahead and comply with the published device-label requirements. There is no onboard charging power; bring charged batteries allowing for delays.
Who handles refunds for FlyNamibia tickets issued by Airlink or a travel agent?
Eligible 749-stock 4Z8 refunds are settled by Airlink; 327-stock refunds by FlyNamibia. Agency tickets must be refunded through the original agency. Fare rules determine eligibility.
Can taxes be refunded on a non-refundable FlyNamibia ticket?
Applicable taxes may be refundable; DU and OC fees are not, and YQ follows fare rules. Eligible refunds go to the original payer in the original payment form and currency.
