What is 2pc in baggage allowance?

If your flight ticket is marked with the code ?2 PC?, you may take two pieces of baggage, each weighing a maximum of 23 kg.



In the world of airline ticketing, "2pc" stands for the Piece Concept of baggage allowance, indicating that a passenger is permitted to check two individual bags at no additional cost. This is the standard terminology used on electronic tickets and itineraries globally in 2026. Under the Piece Concept, each of the two bags is typically subject to a maximum weight limit—usually 23kg (50lbs) for Economy class or 32kg (70lbs) for Business and First class—and a maximum linear dimension (length + width + height) of 158cm (62 inches). This differs from the "Weight Concept" (e.g., "30kg"), where you can bring as many bags as you like as long as their combined weight doesn't exceed the total limit. If your ticket shows "2pc," it is highly beneficial as it allows you to separate your items and avoid over-packing a single heavy suitcase, which could lead to "overweight" surcharges. Always check if your specific fare (such as "Basic Economy") has overridden this standard, as some budget fares may show "0pc," meaning no checked bags are included.
