Qatar Airways is one of the world’s leading airlines, offering the most luxurious travel experience. One aspect of this experience that passengers often consider is baggage allowance – how much weight and the number of pieces they’re allowed to bring on board. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at what Qatar Airways baggage allowance entails and provide some tips on how to make sure you don’t go over your limit.
Qatar Airways is the flag carrier airline of Qatar. The airline has its head office in Doha, Qatar. They operate a hub-and-spoke network, flying to over 150 international destinations from their base at Hamad International Airport. Qatar Airways is a world-class airline known for its five-star service, luxurious cabins, and ample baggage allowance. The Doha-based airline offers its passengers a generous baggage allowance, with the option to purchase additional baggage if needed.
Qatar Airways Baggage allowance refers to the maximum weight or size of baggage that is allowed to be carried by a passenger on a flight. Qatar Airways allows its passengers to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item free of charge. In addition, any baggage that exceeds these limits will likely have to be checked and will incur an additional fee.
Baggage allowances may vary depending on your route and cabin class. Please check the baggage regulations printed on your ticket for more information.
Economy Class | Economy Classic | Economy Convenience | Economy Comfort |
Checked Baggage | 25kg (55lb) | 30kg (66lb) | 35kg (77lb) |
Hand baggage | 1 piece (7kg/15lb) | 1 piece (7kg/15lb) | 1 piece (7kg/15lb) |

Hand baggage | 2 pieces (15kg/33lb total) |
You are allowed to bring hand baggage on board the cabin during your Qatar Airways flight. The Qatar hand baggage allowance is in addition to your regular checked-in baggage allowance.
Travelling with baggage can be a bit tricky, especially if your luggage exceeds the dimensions or weight limit set by the airline. Please be sure to check your airline’s baggage guidelines as they may vary.

If your baggage is considered lost, then the airline will compensate you in accordance with the governing Convention (Warsaw Convention, Montreal Convention), where applicable.
Your baggage should be sturdy, well-packed and secured for air travel. If your baggage is damaged, report it to the baggage desk when you arrive and get a Property Irregularity Report. You will also need to make a written claim through ‘My Baggage’ within seven days of leaving the airport.
Important Note: If you experience any problem with your luggage, you can report it within 7 days of receiving it.

This means that the airline has complied with the terms of the contract.
Qatar Airlines places some restrictions on the items that you are allowed to carry in your baggage. This is for your safety and to ensure that all items travel securely with you. The following items are not permitted in either cabin or checked baggage:

The Im traveling from Sri Lanka to UK to study. I purchased the “lowest fare” ticket in Qatar airways with 25kg check in bag and 7kg hand baggage. I registered in student club. It says Burgundy student club members are allowed additional 10 kgs or one more piece of baggage on flights depending on your route.
Is it still applicable for my ticket as it is a low fare ticket?
If I can take 10kg, can i add 1 more bag or increase the weight of the current bag?
Hello Shanika,
First of all, we wish you all the best for your new journey in the new country. Secondly, if your ticket says that you are allowed to carry additional 10kgs then you can definitely carry accordingly. With Qatar Airways, for routes where the weight concept applies, there is no limit on the number of pieces that can be checked in as long as the weight allowance for the total number of pieces is not exceeded. However, we still suggest you get in touch with the customer care team at Qatar Airways for accurate information.
Hope this helps!

Hi My family and I (3 adults) will be traveling on 2 business class tickets and 1 economy convenience ticket from US to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I understand Qatar rules on the weight and no. of bags allowed for each class of travel. My question is, if the business class travellers (2) check in 5 bags (instead of 4) but keep within the weight allowed for business class, is there an excess baggage charge that Qatar will impose? Thanks Sau
Hi Wong,
Thanks for reaching out to us! As per Qatar Airways policies, charges will be applied if you exceed the weight or piece allowance on your ticket.
