Qatar Airways Baggage Allowance

Qatar Airways

When travelling on Qatar Airlines, it can be easy to find low-cost tickets. However, tickets are not the only cost of travel. Luggage costs can often surprise travellers who have not planned ahead.

Qatar Baggage Allowance

Flying is one of the fastest and safest ways to travel. From business trips to family vacations, the sky’s the limit when it comes to exploring our world. Despite its convenience, there are always things that can cause headaches or delays. While not purchasing tickets in time for a deal is often frustrating, it pales in comparison to the possible fees for bringing a simple suitcase.

The best way to avoid these pitfalls is to plan your travel as much in advance as possible. Planning how your baggage will arrive at the destination is an important piece of the puzzle. Contact the Luggage Delivery Company to understand all your options for transferring baggage. Travelling, in the best of times, is still time-consuming and exhausting. Planning to transfer your baggage with a luggage delivery service can make the experience much easier all around.

Qatar Airways Free Baggage Allowance

Qatar Airways baggage limits are based on weight. This limit is allocated in kilograms per passenger. The number of pieces is disregarded as long as the weight allowance for the total number of bags does not exceed 32 kg. Checked baggage should not exceed 158 cm in length and width. If you’re travelling with bags in excess of 32kg additional charges will apply to the excess weight.

Carry-on Baggage Allowance   

Qatar Airways permits carry-on luggage inside the aircraft cabin on top of the checked baggage allowance. Business or First Class travellers can carry up to two pieces of carry-on baggage weighing no more than 15kg total. Economy travellers are allowed one carry-on bag not exceeding 7kg in weight. Laptops and their bags/cases are considered part of your carry-on luggage allowance.

Qatar Airways hand baggage rules state that the dimensions of your carry-on luggage must not exceed 50 x 37 x 25  cm. Note that these dimensions cannot be exceeded by handles, pockets, or wheels that are part of the bag.

Qatar Airways has a strict policy regarding liquids, gels, and pastes. Passengers are permitted to carry a maximum of 100ml of liquids, gels, or pastes in their carry-on bags. Fluids over 100 ml will need to be stowed away in checked baggage.

Unusual Luggage and Special Allowances

Qatar Airways serves passengers with special needs, including travellers with medical conditions and disabilities. It is important to notify the airline of your specific needs at the time of booking.

Qatar Airlines is Air Carrier Access Act compliant.

While all of this can be helpful, to make travel much more accessible for people with disabilities, call Luggage Delivery Company to enjoy special baggage delivery packages catering to their specific needs.

Children and Infants 

Infants are allowed to travel with their parents on Qatar Airway flights. However, there are important restrictions regarding carry-on luggage. The weight requirements are particularly important as no carry-on may exceed 10kg.

The weight limit for your carry-on luggage must not exceed 75 kilograms, but its length cannot be more than 120 centimetres.

Sports Equipment 

Qatar Airways accepts many kinds of sports equipment as part of the checked baggage allowance. The checked allowance included with most tickets is limited so larger sports equipment may exceed the limits. Additional baggage, especially large sports equipment, will incur additional fees.
