Checked Baggage
Enjoy one of the most generous baggage allowances in the world. Your free baggage allowance is based on either the total amount of weight or on how many pieces of luggage you have. This is called the weight or piece concept.
The weight concept applies to most routes. The piece concept applies only on flights to and from the Americas and Africa. Your allowance depends on where you’re travelling, your fare, and your travel class.
There are general rules and guidelines for baggage allowance on Emirates flights. To check the baggage rules specific to your journey, and how much extra baggage will cost, visit Manage your booking. If you’re an Emirates Skywards Platinum, Gold, or Silver member, you could also enjoy extra baggage allowance on routes that use the weight concept. When travelling on piece concept routes on Emirates flights only, Emirates Skywards Platinum and Gold members are eligible for 1 additional piece of checked baggage at 23kg per piece in Economy Class and 32kg per piece in Business Class and First Class over the ticketed limit.
Your allowance is based on the total weight of all your baggage.
You can check in as many bags as you like up to the weight allowance for your travel class. Each individual bag must not weigh more than 32kg.
The weight concept applies to all routes, except when you travel to and from the Americas and from Africa (for tickets issued before 9 August 2021).
