Baggage Allowances

Everything you need for information on airline baggage allowances

The information given below is a guideline only. The figures shown indicate the maximum weight and dimensions for that airline's baggage according to their guidelines, plus the extra allowances afforded to first class, business class and frequent flyer members. See the airlines' own baggage webpages for further details.

Baggage Allowances

These are the limits imposed by airlines on baggage amounts that can be stored by passengers. Additional charges may be applied for excess baggage. With the regulations on air travel and baggage allowances changing constantly - it's good to check the most recent regulations before you take any trip or holiday.

Amounts relate to the total weight allowed and the maximum total dimensions of an item. First class, business class and members of frequent flyer clubs are allowed additional items which raise the weight total. Click the first letter of an airline to jump through the list.
