Saab 340 flights
Rex flies Saab 340 turboprops to 49 regional destinations. Some services are operated by Nexus Airlines, and Rex’s pages don’t give those flights’ bag rules. For A$50 plus GST, Safe Hand Baggage lets you keep a bag until boarding, when it’s handed to the crew; it doesn’t go in the cabin.
