RRC onboard facilities, baggage and payment

The free allowance is one bag up to 20kg plus one small personal bag. For excess bags, weight or special items, ask the counter about extra charges and collect a receipt and baggage tag.
Online payment options include credit cards and PromptPay QR. Check the booking screen for methods available to foreign visitors. The FAQ allows a mobile booking confirmation and states that cancellation and refunds are not available.
The FAQ asks for counter check-in at least 30 minutes before departure, while the route page asks for arrival at the boarding point at least 15 minutes before departure. Plan to reach the counter 30 minutes ahead to allow for ticketing and check-in.
