Baggage Allowance Overview

Baggage allowances are determined by the airline, fare class, route, and cabin. At Travelopot, we help you understand these rules before you fly. Always check your booking confirmation and the operating airline's website for the most accurate information, as policies may vary by carrier and destination.

01

Carry-On Baggage

Carry-on allowances typically include:

  • One Personal Item: A purse, laptop bag, or small backpack that fits under the seat.
  • One Cabin Bag: Usually up to 7 kg (15 lbs) and dimensions not exceeding 56 × 36 × 23 cm.
  • Liquids: Must comply with the 100 ml (3.4 oz) rule and fit in a single clear, resealable bag.
  • Restricted Items: Sharp objects, flammable materials, and certain electronics may be prohibited.
02

Checked Baggage Allowance

Checked baggage limits depend on your fare type and route:

Economy Class

Typically 20–30 kg (44–66 lbs) depending on the airline.

Premium Economy

Usually 25–35 kg (55–77 lbs) with priority handling.

Business Class

Generally 30–40 kg (66–88 lbs) across most carriers.

First Class

Often 40–50 kg (88–110 lbs) with additional perks.

03

Excess Baggage Fees

If your baggage exceeds the allowance, additional fees may apply:

  • Fees are calculated per kilogram (or per piece) and vary by airline and route.
  • Pre-purchasing extra baggage online is usually cheaper than paying at the airport.
  • Excess baggage is subject to space availability on the aircraft.
  • Some airlines allow a higher allowance for frequent flyers or loyalty members.
04

Special Baggage Items

Certain items require special handling or advance approval, including sporting equipment (golf clubs, bicycles, skis), musical instruments, strollers, wheelchairs, and pets traveling in the cabin or hold. These items may have separate allowances, fees, and packaging requirements. Please notify us at the time of booking so we can arrange the necessary approvals with the airline.

05

Prohibited Items

For safety and security, the following items are not allowed in baggage:

Explosives & Flammables

Fireworks, gasoline, lighter fluid, and similar materials.

Weapons

Firearms, ammunition, and sharp objects (unless properly declared).

Lithium Batteries

Spare batteries must be carried in the cabin, not checked.

Valuables

Jewelry, cash, and electronics should be kept in hand baggage.

06

Lost, Delayed, or Damaged Baggage

If your baggage is lost, delayed, or damaged, please report it immediately to the airline's baggage service desk at the arrival airport before leaving the terminal. You will receive a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) number, which is required to file a claim. Compensation is governed by the airline's conditions of carriage and international conventions such as the Montreal Convention.

07

Tips for Stress-Free Baggage

Label your bags with your name and contact details, keep valuables and medication in your carry-on, weigh your baggage at home, arrive early at the airport, and always keep your baggage receipt and tags safe. Following these simple tips can help you avoid unnecessary fees and delays.

08

Airline-Specific Rules

Baggage policies differ between airlines, especially for low-cost carriers where checked baggage may not be included in the base fare. Always review the specific rules of the airline operating your flight. If you have connecting flights on multiple carriers, the most restrictive baggage policy may apply to your entire journey.

09

Changes to This Baggage Policy

We may update this Baggage Policy to reflect changes in airline rules or industry regulations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We recommend reviewing this page before every trip to ensure you are aware of the latest requirements.
