Hi, I’m flying business class from Bangkok to London. I would like to clarify how many kgs each traveler is allowed to check in and also the maximum weight of carry-on-board weight allowance.

Hi Edward,

You should be permitted to bring 3 checked bags weighing up to 32 kgs each. The maximum combined weight of your carry-on and a personal item is 8 kgs.
