What is my baggage allowance?
Baggage allowances do vary according to the airline you are traveling with and the destination. The following is a guideline only - exceptions do exist. Most airlines still use the weight system, allowing you to check-in 20kgs of luggage (economy class). The allowance is normally 30kgs in business class and 40kgs in first class. Scheduled transatlantic flights often still use the 'piece' system, normally allowing each passenger to check-in two pieces of luggage (maximum weight per piece varies between 20-32 kgs). For health and safety reasons items of luggage weighing over 32kgs will not be accepted. Infants are not normally entitled to a luggage allowance. In addition, each passenger may carry one piece of hand luggage, subject to certain weight and size restrictions. Certain articles may not be carried in hand baggage. Excess baggage is normally charged for, and is only carried subject to space being available on your flight.
