Baggage allowance

Reviewed September 2026

What the ticket carries free — on long-haul business, typically two checked pieces at 32kg each plus generous cabin baggage, roughly double the economy standard. Allowances follow the ticketed fare and the "most significant carrier" rules on mixed itineraries, which is where surprises breed. Worth knowing: negotiated fares carry the standard cabin allowances of their bucket, and excess purchased in advance costs a fraction of airport rates. The allowance prints on our quotes per sector.
