Economy class tickets have 2 free checked bags with a maximum of 23 kg or 50 lb. Business class tickets have 2 free bags with a maximum of 32 kg or 70 lb per checked bag.

For the majority of international and domestic routes in 2026, Turkish Airlines still includes free checked baggage as a standard part of their full-service model, though the specific allowance depends on your "Fare Brand." On most international flights, Economy Class passengers are permitted at least one bag weighing 20 kg (44 lbs), while Business Class travelers can check 30 kg (66 lbs). For routes to the Americas (including the U.S. and Canada), the "Piece Concept" usually applies, allowing Economy passengers two free bags of 23 kg each. It is important to note that Turkish Airlines has introduced "EcoFly" or "Promotional" fares on certain short-haul European and domestic routes that may not include a free checked bag, so you must verify your specific ticket type during booking. However, unlike budget carriers, even their basic international tickets almost always include a generous weight allowance, reflecting their status as a premium global carrier.
