Baggage Allowance

Baggage allowance is an essential aspect of travel that should not be overlooked. By understanding the rules and restrictions for baggage, you can avoid unwanted fees and surprises at the airport. There are three types of luggage categories that you need to know; one is check-in luggage, the other is your cabin luggage, and the third one is hand baggage.

Capacity

The capacity of your baggage is determined by its size and weight. Typically, the dimensions for checked baggage range from 62 to 158 cm (24 to 62 inches) in length, width, and height combined, while the weight limit is usually between 15 to 32 kg (44 to 70 lbs). The cabin bag dimensions are usually smaller, ranging from 36 to 56 cm (14 to 22 inches) in length, 23 to 40 cm (9 to 16 inches) in width, and 18 to 23 cm (7 to 9 inches) in height. The weight limit for a carry-on bag is usually around 7 to 10 kg (15 to 22 lbs). So, do keep in mind the cabin trolley bag size and weight while picking one. There is no specifications for hand baggage allowance. It is usually your laptop bag or a handbag that is not too large or bulky. Do not confuse this with your cabin baggage size. Please note that the weight of the luggage is subject to change, basis the airline you are travelling to. Most international flights offer extra luggage for students travelling abroad, so while booking your tickets, it's important that you mention that you are a student.

Baggage Rules

In addition to the size and weight limits, there are rules you should be aware of when it comes to baggage allowance. These rules can vary depending on the airline and your destination, so checking with your airline before you travel is important. Here are some standard rules to keep in mind:

Frequently Asked Questions

Check the airline's rules before you pack: Check the airline's website or contact them directly to find out the baggage allowance and its regulations for your flight.


Pack light: Pack only what you need for your trip and leave any unnecessary items. This will not only help you stay within the baggage allowance but also make it easier to move around and travel.


Use compression bags: Compression bags can help you fit more items in your luggage while keeping it within the size and weight limits.

Focus on the weight of the bag while choosing one, as it will allow you to add more stuff without crossing the baggage allowance limit. Backpacks, trolley bags in sturdy material like polycarbonate with 360o wheels, and compact duffle bags are some of the best options. Invest in compression packing cubes as they reduce the items' volume considerably and ensure easy and systematic packing.
If you need to bring more luggage than your allowed baggage allowance, you will usually need to pay an additional fee to the airline. The fee can vary depending on the airline and the route, and it can be pretty expensive, especially for excess baggage.
The cost of excess baggage can vary depending on the airline, route, and weight of the extra baggage. In some cases, the cost can be pretty high, so it's important to check with your airline ahead of time and make arrangements if you need to bring more luggage than your allowance.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) restricts the amount of liquids, gels, and aerosols that can be brought in carry-on bags. Each container must be 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) or less, and all containers must fit in a single, clear, plastic, quart-sized bag. There are some exceptions for medications, baby formula, and other items, but it's important to check the TSA website for the most up-to-date information.
Certain items are not allowed in your baggage, such as explosives, flammable items, sharp objects and certain types of batteries. Other items may be restricted, such as liquids in your hand-carry luggage. It is essential to check the airline's baggage policy before you travel to ensure you are not bringing any prohibited items.
