Qatar Airways Baggage Rules

Checked baggage

Your baggage allowance depends on the flight and booking class. You can find the number of pieces and weight allowed for your journey when you select your flights, as well as on your ticket prior to travel.

For routes where the baggage allowance is displayed by weight (flying from/to destinations other than Africa & the Americas), there is no limit on the number of pieces that can be checked in as long as the weight allowance for the total number of pieces is not exceeded. However, limitations may apply based on aircraft carrying capacity.

Maximum dimensions (length + width + height)

  • When flying to/from Africa or the Americas, the maximum dimension per bag should not exceed 158cm.
  • When flying from Dammam, the maximum dimension per bag must not exceed 158cm.
  • When flying from Dublin, items carried as checked baggage must not exceed 240cm as the maximum length per bag.
  • When flying to/from other destinations: the maximum dimension per bag should not exceed 300cm.
Maximum weight
A single piece of checked baggage should weigh no more than 32kg (70lb).
Note: Pieces of baggage that are round, irregular-shaped, tied with loose rope or string, wrapped in blankets or that have loose straps will not be accepted.

Cabin baggage

In addition to the regular checked-in baggage allowance, you may also bring along hand baggage on board the cabin during your Qatar Airways flight:

  • First Class and Business Class passengers can carry two pieces of baggage on board, not to exceed a total weight of 15kg (33lb).
  • Economy Class passengers can carry one piece of baggage, not to exceed 7kg (15lb).
  • For tickets issued in Brazil, Economy Class customers on flights to or from Brazil can carry one piece of baggage, not to exceed 10 kg (22lb).
  • Maximum dimensions for each piece of hand baggage are 50x37x25cm (20x15x10in).
  • Laptops and laptop bags should fit within your hand baggage allowance.

You can also carry personal items such as one lady’s handbag or one small briefcase; one coat, cape or blanket; one umbrella; one pair of crutches or a walking stick; one small camera or binoculars; limited reading material; an infant’s carrying basket; duty-free items purchased on the day of your flight.

Liquids and gels in hand baggage
You may carry liquids, gels, pastes and aerosols in containers up to 100ml (3.4oz) in your hand baggage. Containers larger than 100ml cannot be accepted even if only partly filled. Your containers should be carried in a transparent, resealable, quart- or litre-sized bag no larger than 20x20cm (8x8in). Please ensure all items fit comfortably in the plastic bag.
Airport security will ask you to produce your transparent bag of liquids separately for screening. There are no restrictions on baby foods and medication. However, you may be required to present a prescription for medication you want to take on board.
