A baggage allowance, also known as a baggage policy, is the baggage restriction per passenger on a flight. Each airline sets their own baggage allowance, with restrictions on size, weight and amount of pieces for both checked luggage and hand luggage.
You are allowed two checked bags 60 (157.48 cm) in overall dimensions (length + width + height) or 50 pounds (22.68 kg). Bags that don't meet the dimensions and/or weight restrictions will incur a fee.
Airlines define policies based on a Piece or a Weight Concept. A Piece Concept limits each bag to a certain weight. The weight limit depends on factors such as ticket class, passenger status and more. A Weight Concept places a limit on the combined weight of a passenger's baggage.
Your checked baggage allowance depends on your route and fare type. Find the exact details of your baggage allowance for your upcoming trip by visiting Manage Your Booking, or by checking the baggage allowance printed on your ticket. For more information on baggage policies please read our Checked bags page.
The baggage allowance is permitted on number of passengers and not the number of pieces. However, if you are carrying a large piece, although light in weight as cabin baggage, you may have to put it as check in baggage only.
Many airlines will allow you to bring a carry-on bag and personal item for free. However, some airlines may only allow a personal item that fits under your seat for free. Anything larger (e.g. a bag that's too big to fit under the seat but can fit into the overhead compartment) may require extra payment.
You can bring one carry-on bag and one personal item for free on most domestic and international flights. But there are a few rules you'll need to follow.
Airline rules allow for one carry on bag and one personal item, unless you're flying on a basic economy fare. But we've all seen people selfishly putting two bags in the overhead bin or carrying on more luggage than could possibly be allowed. You don't want to be like them. But you also might not be a one bagger.
The abbreviation PC stands for baggage space (from the English piece concept). The number in front of the abbreviation is the number of bags or suitcases you can take with you at the fare. The total size of each piece of baggage (length + width + height) may not exceed 158 cm.
International flights allow one, and often two, pieces of checked luggage per passenger. International luggage allowance is often influenced by whether the flight is intracontinental (within the same continent) or intercontinental (across the ocean or spanning different continents).
While this can be confusing, most popular airlines allow you to bring a carry-on and personal item, such as a backpack or purse. In general, your personal item should be smaller than your carry-on and under the specific airline's carry-on dimensions, allowing it to fit under the seat in front of you.
Most airlines allow backpacks as carry-ons, but size and weight restrictions vary depending on the carrier. Typically, the bag must be within the cabin baggage dimensions of around 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 36 x 22 cm), commonly considered the standard size for carry-on.
Are cabin bags weighed? They can be, but more often they are size-checked. We recommend that you ensure your bag is within the weight and size limits the airline specifies if you want it on board with you. If the staff deem your bag too big or too heavy, it will be checked.
