Baggage Allowance by Route

Why the route changes what you can carry

A baggage allowance is never really about the route — it is about the mix of airlines flying it and the fares they sell on it. Corridors between the Gulf and South Asia are the classic example: the same city pair is flown by full-service carriers that include 30 kg or more in mid-range fares, and by low-cost carriers whose cheapest fare includes no checked bag at all. Two passengers on the same route, on the same day, can legitimately have allowances 30 kg apart.

These route guides put the airlines most searched for each corridor on one screen — checked allowance by main fare, cabin size and cabin weight — so you can compare before you book, not at the check-in desk. Every figure comes from the airline's official policy page; open the full guide for the complete fare table, excess fees and the official source link.
