Baggage Information
Carry-On Baggage
Most airlines allow one carry-on bag and one personal item (such as a laptop bag or handbag) per passenger. Carry-on bags must fit in the overhead bin and usually have a size limit of 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 36 x 23 cm), including handles and wheels. Weight limits may vary by airline and destination.
Checked Baggage
Checked baggage allowances depend on your airline and ticket type. Economy passengers generally get 1 checked bag up to 23kg (50lbs), while business and first-class passengers may get 2 or more bags. Oversized or overweight bags will incur additional fees.
Excess Baggage Charges
If your bag exceeds the permitted weight or size, airlines may charge excess baggage fees ranging from $50 to $200 or more depending on the route and airline policy. These fees are typically higher at the airport, so pre-book excess baggage online if available.
Restricted Items
Items such as flammable liquids, sharp objects, batteries, and electronic devices with lithium-ion cells may be restricted or prohibited in carry-on or checked baggage. Always check the airline’s list of restricted and dangerous goods before traveling.
Lost or Damaged Baggage
In case of lost or damaged baggage, report it to the airline immediately at the airport. You may be eligible for compensation based on international air travel regulations. Always retain your baggage tags and travel receipts to support your claim.
Tips for Travelers
- Label your bags with your name, email, and contact number.
- Weigh your bags at home before arriving at the airport.
- Carry valuables and important documents in your hand luggage.
- Double-check airline baggage policies before departure.
