You will understand the need to limit carry-on baggage, in both weight and size. The bag or case that you bring into the cabin should not weigh more than 7kg and must fit into the overhead lockers.

Cellular telephones must be switched off before boarding. The use of cell phones and other electronic equipment such as computers, computer games and sound systems is not permitted as this may interfere with the aircraft’s avionics system. 

Please save yourself the stress of late check-in at the airport. For a domestic flight you should check in at the Air Botswana counters at least one hour before the scheduled depature time. Check-in counters close 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time of your flight. For international flights you should check in at least one hour before scheduled departure time. You will not be allowed to board if you arrive late as the flight cannot be delayed because of the inconvenience this imposes to other passengers, who may have onward connections. 

When you pack for your flight, please do not put things like cash, jewellery, laptop computer, electronic devices or medicines in baggage that will be checked in. Rather take these special items on board in your carry-on bag. Air Botswana, in common with other airlines, advises against including valuables in checked baggage, and will not be liable for the loss of such items.
