How many pieces of luggage are allowed for 40 kg? Are 3 pieces allowed?
Hi Estelita, it depends on your route and whether Etihad considers it a piece or weight concept route. If you can elaborate we can try to help…
How many pieces of luggage are allowed for 40kgs? Are 3 pieces allowed? Economy/Philippines
Hi Kathrin – this depends on the other airport in question which will determine your route; this will also determine whether you’re allowed 40kg in economy or not. Etihad reports your weight allowance may be split over multiple pieces of luggage but they do not state what the max number of bags can be. You can see more info here: https://www.etihad.com/en/before-you-fly/baggage-information/allowances/.
Since we are not Etihad, the best way to get the most accurate information will be to inquire with them directly at their customer service line. I would provide this phone number for you but I’m not sure where you reside so don’t’ want to give you the wrong number.
Hi. I’m travelling to Australia. I’m in economy and have an allowance of 30kg. Does this mean I can take 2 bags that add up to 30? Or can it only be 1 checked in?

Hi, I’m assuming the same applies to flights from Abu Dhabi to Manchester, United Kingdom?

Hello all,
I am planning to travel to India(Hyderabad) from Germany(Frankfurt). I have seen that the allowed luggage will be 30kgs and 7kgs(cabin). My question is, if I bring my laptop bag is the weight also considered as my cabin weight or is it like 7kgs cabin+laptop bag.
Many thanks in advance for your responses.
Best Regards,
Mani
Hi Mani, I’m not sure what fare class you’ve purchased but here’s what Etihad has to say:
Economy: “1 x cabin bag with a maximum weight of 7kg and maximum dimensions of (50cm x 40cm x 25cm) including wheels and handles.
1 x personal item which must fit under the seat in front of you, with a maximum weight of 5kg. For example, a handbag, a laptop bag or Duty Free purchase.”
Biz/First: “2 x cabin bags with a maximum combined weight of 12kg and maximum dimensions per bag of (50cm x 40cm x 25cm) including wheels and handles.
1 x personal item with a maximum weight of 5kg. For example, a handbag, a laptop bag or Duty Free purchase.”
Thank you so much, Erin. Here I am talking about Economy class and I got the answer from you (my laptop bag is not included in cab bag of 7kgs).
Glad to help Mani – safe travels! 🙂
Hello There, am travelling from New Zealand To Rome. My question is I have purchased an economy class ticket which allows me of 30kg check in luggage and 7kg carry on Luggage.. so my question can I check in 2 separate bags 15kg x2 =30kg? Instead of one big 30kg bag?
Thanks
Hi Ama,
You should be able to bring two bags as long as the combined weight is under 30kg. Keep in mind that we are not Etihad through, so feel free to reach out to them directly to verify.
Thanks for reading!
Hi, is a 60 x 47 x 41 box carton allowed? I have 40kg in baggage going to the Philippines.
Hi Adam, unfortunately, we could not find any information about checking in a “Box Carton” on Etihad’s website no matter how hard we looked. Since we are not Etihad Airways, we suggest you call their reservations/customer service line and inquire with them directly for the most accurate information. Sorry we couldn’t be of more assistance!
Hai, I am travelling with my 20-month-old baby from Chennai to Amsterdam in Economic class. Will they provide food for my baby?
Hi Divya, this is a question better suited for Etihad’s customer service as this is simply an article on baggage fees. As we are not Etihad, we cannot confirm with 100% accuracy so we suggest you call them and inquire directly with the airline… sorry to not be of more assistance!
Hey, I’m traveling from Australia to India in economy how many bags can i check in and what is the maximum luggage allowance?

Hello,
I am planning to travel to India from Toronto, Canada. What about 65 inch TV fees? If I am carrying it with me, any extra charges or duty?
Thank You
Hello Prili. I think you will find that the maximum size and weight limits will be an issue for a 65 inch TV. Even if you were to meet those with another TV, you will find the import duties for bringing a TV into India quite high. The Indian government charges a duty of 36% of the assessed value. This is not how much you paid for the TV necessarily but what the custom’s agent determines is the value based on the price in India, which can be much higher. Hope this helps.
Hi,
I am travelling from London to India, would like to know the baggage weight for economy class and how many bags.
Thanks
Hi Aruna, as you can see in the table above, this depends on which fare type you have purchased (there are multiple Economy fares). Economy Deal, Saver and Classic would allow 30kg, Economy Flex would allow 35kg. This is for UK to India only.
If you have a return route and you purchased after Jan 10, 2019 (again, as shown in the table above) you are allowed 40kg. If you purchased the fare before Jan 10, 2019, the fees apply as previously stated.
Traveling from India to the US in Economy. Are bags of the following size permitted?
1. 76.5 x 38 x 38
2. 75 x 30 x 51
The total dimensions (152.5,156) are less than the 158 mentioned but are there restrictions on individual dimensions?
Hi Yash, as you can see above, we list the max linear dimensions for flights to/from Canada & the US: 158cm (70cm x 50cm x 38cm). The numbers in the parentheses should be the max dimensions for each measurement.
Technically, Etihad’s “oversized baggage policy” would apply to any bags that exceed these limits, which they report is an added fee of $60 per oversized bag, per flight.
It the maximum allovable baggage sixe (70*50*38) including wheels ?
Hi Basil,
Etihad doesn’t state on their website whether the checked size dimensions includes wheels so you could argue your case at the airport if challenged. Especially as they do state that the size restrictions include wheels on carry-on luggage.
How many pieces of luggage are allowed for 30kgs? Are 2 pieces allowed?
Economy/India
Jeddah to Ahmedabad.
Hi Siddikpawar, Etihad simply states on their website: “Your baggage allowance can be split over multiple items”… they don’t distinguish how many this is. But you can rest assured with this statement that at least two will be allowed.

Hi Tet,
As you are flying today, I hope you got in touch with the airline directly with your query (we are not Etihad Airways). In any case, Etihad allows passengers to carry 1 standard carry-on (7 kg) and 1 personal item (5 kg) so as long as your backpack does not exceed 40cm x 30cm x 15cm or 5 kg then this should be fine.
Hi,
My ticket is showing 30kg for check in luggage, does it need to be one case or can I have 2 smaller cases with weight together less then 30kg?

You can also take one carry on up to 7 kg in the cabin and 1 personal item up to 5 kg. Thanks for reading.
I am traveling with Ethiad Airways from Canada to India. My checked baggage is 77 cms x 56 cms x 31 cms and cabin baggage is 55 cms x 40 cms x 23 cms. Is this baggage size OK?
Hi Shankar,
Your carry-on baggage exceeds Etihad’s maximum size allowance, so you will need to consider whether you are happy taking the risk of having to check the item if rejected at the airport. Your checked luggage also exceeds Etihad’s maximum size allowance so excess baggage charges of $60 could be imposed.
Hi!,
I’m traveling economy class from Abu Dhabi to Philippines and am confused with my check in allowance. Can I only bring 23kg worth of luggages or 40kg? I have booked my ticket online and it does not show my luggage limit. Any advice? Thanks.
Best Regards.
Hi Ella,
The route you’re talking about should be eligible for 40kg worth of luggage because you’re traveling from Abu Dhabi (a Gulf Coast Country, or GCC) to The Philippines. Please note that we aren’t Etihad Airways and you should double-check directly with them to confirm.
Travelling Oman to the Philippines economy. If i bring 55″ or 40″led tv, how many baggage allowed?
Hi Mark,
Your checked weight allowance depends on the type of ticket you’ve purchased:
Economy: 23kg (50lb)
Economy Saver and Classic: 30kg (66lb)
Economy Flex: 35kg (77lb)
Etihad does not disclose the policy for transporting a TV on its website so you will need to give them a call to confirm this.
Hi, I’m traveling from Jeddah to Abu Dhabi to Manilla next week. Are boxes allowed to be checked in?
Hi Anna,
There shouldn’t be a problem checking a box, providing it adheres to the maximum size limit of 207cm (90cm x 72cm x 45cm). However, as we’re not Etihad Airways we can’t confirm this for you 100% so you should contact the airline with your query.
Hi,
I am travelling from San Antonio to Chennai. I am planning to take a moving box (cardboard box) as one of the check-in luggage for my travel in Ethiad. Will the airline accept ( 24 X 18 X 18 ) size for check-in?
Hi Karthik,
As we’re not Etihad Airways we can’t confirm this 100% for you; however, the measurements you have stated are less than their maximum check-in allowance which is 158cm (70cm x 50cm x 38cm).
Hi
I have 30kg for my economy saver class from Kuala Lumpur to Switzerland. Can I use just one big luggage for 30kg with dimension 207cm maximum or one big luggage more then 23kg (25kg + 5kg) and one small luggage less then 7kg.. because some flight rules state only 23kg maximum for one luggage. Thanks
Hi Raden,
An individual item can weigh up to 32kg so you could bring one bag 30 kg that measures no more than 207 cm.
Can you please clarify any additional baggage allowance for students, apart from the 2 pcs of 23 kgs in Economy (for Etihad).
Hi Surabhi,
Please be aware that we are not Etihad Airways so you would need to contact the airline to confirm this information 100%. Having looked on Etihad’s website, we can’t see information relating to increased baggage allowance for students, but there does seem to be an offer with a third party – Yatra – and depending on the destination, students flying from India receive either an additional bag or 10 kgs of extra weight. You would need to contact Yatra for more information.
Hi,
What is the maximum size of television allowed from Abu Dhabi to Cochin as checked baggage? Is there any charges apply for 55 inch LED TV? Which airline allows above 55 inches.. Please advise.
Hi Vishnu,
For international journeys, Etihad’s maximum size allowance for checked luggage is 207cm max linear dimensions so providing your TV does not exceed these measurements (and does not exceed your weight allowance) then this should be fine to check. But as we’re not Etihad Airways, we advise 100% so you should call Etihad directly to confirm. Airlines don’t tend to publish their policies on TV transportation so you would need contact any airlines directly.
Etihad air baggage economy class Saudi to India.
Hi Arbind,
Not sure what the question is here?
Hi, my bag size is (100×46×35)cm should i pay oversize cost with Etihad Airways?
Hi Prakash,
If you’re flying to/from Canada and the US then the maximum size restriction is 158cm (70cm x 50cm x 38cm) and to/from all other destinations it’s 207cm (90cm x 72cm x 45cm). So if you’re flying to/from Canada or the US then your bag would be subject to oversized costs; however, if you’re flying from anywhere else then it would be fine.
Hey! I am traveling from India to the U.K. for my studies. Do we include cabin bag in the luggage requirement? Or can I carry 40kgs in two luggage bags and 7kg in my cabin bag and one handbag with Etihad without paying any extra charges?
Hi Vinny,
Etihad does not include your carry-on or personal item towards the 40kg allowance for your checked bag.
Thanks for reading!
Hi! I’m traveling back to the Philippines a few days from now… I’m worried my baggage will exceed the weight limit like maybe 5 – 10 kgs… can you help me to have an idea of how much I need to pay for that excess weight? By the way I’m here now in Munich, Germany.
Hi Brian,
Munich is zone 3 and the Philippines is zone 5, so the cost per kilogram for excess weight is $27.
Hi,
Can I carry 32″ TV Without any charge? Etihad economy class.
Hi Temba,
This depends on the total size of the TV. You’ll need to measure it to see whether it complies with Etihad’s maximum linear dimensions of either 158cm (flights to/from the U.S.) or 207cm for other destinations. If it exceeds this then it is likely you will incur excess baggage charges.
Hi,
I am travelling from Manchester to India via Abu Dhabi.
My tickets mentions a 45kg baggage allowance.
Can you please let me know the number of bags I am allowed for checked-in luggage?
Hi Radhika, for routes utilizing the “Weight Concept”, Etihad reports your weight allowance may be split over multiple pieces of luggage but they do not state what the max number of bags can be. You can see more info here: https://www.etihad.com/en/before-you-fly/baggage-information/allowances/. Sorry to not be of more help!
I booked tickets for two persons to travel on 16th Sept. From Hyderabad, India to Abu Dhabi by Boeing No. 0275 (RESERVATION CODE xxxxx, and AIRLINE RESERVATION CODE xxxxx (EY)) and from Abu Dhabi to Washington DC, US by flight No.0131 in Economy class. Please provide details viz. weight and dimensions of both cabin luggage and checked-in luggage.
Hi Dasigi,
Please be aware that we are not Etihad Airways, we are UpgradedPoints.com. We have removed the reservation codes you posted above for your privacy. Be sure to check the baggage details on your ticket, but economy passengers on flights to/from the U.S. have a baggage allowance of 2 x 23 kg bags. These can measure up to 158cm (max linear).
The cabin bag allowance is 1 bag up to 7kg (50cm x 40cm x 25 cm) and 1 personal item 5 kg (40cm x 30cm x 15cm).
What if my one baggage weighs more than 23 kg? How much will I have to pay for that?
Hi Curious,
To answer that we would need to know where you are flying from and where you are flying to as the prices can vary.

How much they are going to charge?
Is it based on dimensions or due to weight?

I’m traveling from Oman back to the Philippines on Saturday. My check in baggage weighs more than 20kg each..just want to ask how much will i pay for the excess (around 5kg) and do i need to remove the excess and transfer it to another bag? Traveling with economy fare.
Hi Cheska,
Unless your ticket states otherwise that route would be allocated 23kg in checked weight. If you need 5 kg of excess weight then the fee would be $115 from Oman to a destination in Asia.
Hello,
I booked a flight for Europe to Australia from a travel agent and I need an extra 23kg bag but they won’t allow it because I did not book the tickets through Etihad first. This might mean that I’ll have to purchase at the airport. Do you know how much that will be? Or any other suggestion?
Hi Allie,
Excess luggage for that route can only be purchased in increments of 5kg so you would need to reduce your luggage to 20kg or purchase 25kg. The fees Etihad feature are inclusive of a 20% discount when booking prior to the flight so would be 20% higher at the airport. Get your flight booking reference from the travel agent and give Etihad a call to see if you can pre-pay luggage.
