Baggage Allowance Checker
Pick your airline and fare — get the exact cabin and checked allowance from the airline's own policy, checked 30 October 2026.
How the checker works
Airlines hide the real answer inside fare brands: the cheapest fare on the same plane can include no checked bag at all while the next fare up includes 30 kg. The checker reads the same verified database as our airline guides — pick the fare printed on your ticket and you see exactly that fare's allowance, its cabin limit and what the airline itself says about extra bags.

Weight concept or piece concept — the two systems behind every answer
Every result above comes from one of two systems. Under the weight concept, your allowance is a total number of kilograms you can spread across bags (subject to a per-bag safety cap, usually 32 kg). Under the piece concept, your allowance is a number of bags, each with its own weight and size limit — two half-empty bags are fine, one bag 1 kg over its piece limit is chargeable. Some airlines mix both: pieces on transatlantic routes, weight everywhere else. The checker applies the system your airline and fare actually use, because that choice is exactly where travellers get caught: a single 30 kg suitcase is unremarkable under a 30 kg weight allowance, but overweight as one piece under a 23 kg piece limit.
Two examples from the database: on a standard Ryanair fare the only bag included is the small personal bag (40 x 30 x 20 cm) — every cabin or checked bag beyond it is a paid extra. On Emirates piece-concept routes, an Economy Special fare includes one 23 kg piece while Saver and above include two. Same question, completely different answers — which is why the checker asks for the fare, not just the airline.
Before you rely on the result
Allowances also change with frequent-flyer status, route exceptions and policy updates, and the figure printed on your own ticket always wins. Every result links to the airline's official baggage page with the date we checked it — for fees especially, confirm there before you travel, and if your bag is anywhere near a limit, weigh it at home rather than arguing with a scale at the check-in desk.
