Qatar Airways has a generous baggage allowance for flights that uses the weight concept (all flights excluding to/from Africa or the Americas). The allowance for economy passengers is 55 pounds (25 kg) to 77 pounds (35 kg), depending on the route.

Although this allowance is generous, be sure not to get stung by Qatar Airways’ pricey excess fees that are charged per kilogram and can add up quickly!

I’m traveling from Doha to Karachi. Do I get 40kg of baggage? I already have a ticket for 30kg baggage, but do I receive 40kg of baggage without any extra cost? In the last 5 years I was getting 40kg but due to the pandemic they said they would only offer 30kg.

I’m traveling from Kuwait to Iran, it says I receive 30 kg of baggage but I know that used to be okay to take 2 pieces of 23 kg? Is that still a thing?
- Jarrod West November 11, 2020
  
  Hi Niloo,
  
  Depending on the route, the Qatar baggage allowance uses either a piece or weight concept. Flights between Kuwait and Iran fall under the weight concept, which is why the allowance is 30kg.

Hi there!!!
I would like to know how much are 3 extra 23 kg pieces from Addis Ababa-Havana (through Doha-Madrid) Economy class?

  - Alberto December 16, 2020

      Hi Kitija,
      
      If the check-in or gate agent was to reject your hand luggage, you can’t pay a fee to take it into the cabin. You would be required to check the item and if you already had exceeded your checked allowance, this would be charged as excess luggage ($40 per kilogram).
Eldon Johnson December 24, 2020

I am traveling from the Philippines to the USA. I have 2 pieces to check-in with my ticket. Am I allowed to check-in an additional 4 suitcases?
- Catherine Luther December 29, 2020
  
  Hi Eldon,
  
  Under the terms and conditions of the Qatar Airways excess baggage policy, it states that each passenger is allowed a maximum of five pieces. Although this is featured under the excess baggage rules, you may just want to get in touch with the airline to confirm that this applies to just your excess luggage, rather than including your ticketed luggage.

- Catherine Luther January 4, 2021
  
  Hi Asif,
  
  Qatar Airways allows passengers to bring a personal item as well as a piece of standard carry-on. The airline does not state size restrictions for the personal item but reference items such as a handbag or small briefcase. Providing the backpack is reasonably small, that should be fine.
- AHMED ABED July 6, 2021
  
  I see on the Qatar Airways app that you get a 23k bag, plus one carry-on from the USA to Iraq. But here you said you get 2 23 kg bags. How is that?
  - Jarrod West July 7, 2021
    
    Hi Ahmed,
    
    I’m not sure which page you have accessed on the app, but if you head to this page on the Qatar Airways website, you’ll see that they state all flights to and from the Americas receive 2 x 23kg bags.

I am traveling from Bangladesh to Canada. If I carry 10 extra kg, how much will I have to pay? And if I take an extra piece how much do I need to pay? If I take 23 kg in extra baggage, do I need to pay $250?
- Jarrod West March 24, 2021
  
  Hi Abrar,
  
  Flights to and from Canada operate as piece concept routes. If one of your bags weighs up to 70 pounds (32 kg), you’ll be charged an overweight fee of $50-$65. If you wish to bring an additional bag then the charge will be $200-$250. The variance in price will depend on whether you pay online or at the airport.

How much would it cost for an extra piece of luggage from Canada to Nepal? What is the maximum weight per piece of extra luggage? How many extra pieces of luggage can I purchase?
- Jarrod West April 1, 2021
  
  Hi Subash,
  
  The charge for an extra piece of luggage should be $200 and it is subject to the same weight restriction as your other checked bags – 50 lbs. Qatar does not appear to cite a limit on the number of checked bags you can purchase so you would need to contact them directly for that information.
Gita April 11, 2021

I’m traveling from the UK to Indonesia, how much weight am I allowed to bring if I travel with my 4-year-old? And how much should I pay for extra luggage?

Thanks
- Jarrod West April 13, 2021
  
  Hi Gita,
  
  Since you would need to purchase a standard ticket for your child, you will each be able to bring 1 personal item, 1 carry-on bag up to 15 pounds (7 kg), and 30 kg of checked luggage allowance. Any additional luggage would be billed at a rate of $40 per kg.

  Hi Marco,
  
  For that route, you will likely be charged a further $65 per bag if your luggage is overweight.
Grace April 25, 2021

Hi, I am flying from France on May 1 and my agent gave me 2 luggages for 20 kgs each, but for my last flight with Qatar Airways in 2019, they gave me 23 kgs. each. Can I still get 23 kgs instead of 20 kgs? Thank you for your response.
- Catherine Luther April 27, 2021
  
  Hi Grace,
  
  Generally, Qatar Airways’ baggage policy is 2 x 23 kg bags for routes to and from the U.S. You’ll need to speak to the agent you booked your ticket through to inquire as to why you’ve been allocated a reduced baggage allowance.

Musawar Ahmed May 14, 2021

I recently signed up for this Student Club: https://www.qatarairways.com/en-hk/student-club.html

Sounds really good:
– 10,15 and 20% off first, second and third booking
– 10kg additional baggage
– free wifi

However, when I sign in and enter the promo-code I got, I just see a reduced fare, it still has the same baggage as usual (25, 30 and 35kg depending on fare class) as without.

Anyone tried this (or other additional baggage fares/promotions)? Wondering how to get the additional baggage, or if it will be just saved in the ticket and shouldn’t cause a problem during check-in?
- Jarrod West May 14, 2021
  
  Hi Musawar,
  
  I don’t have much experience with the Student Club for Qatar Airlines, but if it is not showing the correct baggage allowance then it might be an issue with the Qatar website. Try contacting a member of the customer service team to see if they can troubleshoot what’s going wrong. Safe travels!
Fereal Awed May 17, 2021

I am traveling from Dallas International Airport to Addis Ababa, I would like to know how much 20
extra pounds of luggage will cost me, and can I take 65″ tv?
- Jarrod West May 18, 2021
  
  Hi Fereal,
  
  Since this is a piece concept route, you should need to pay $200 for an extra piece of luggage. Since a 65″ TV would exceed the carriers allowance of bags that are no more than 62 inches each, you would need to pay an oversized bag fee. Unfortunately, Qatar does not list the charge for oversized bags on their website, so you would need to call to get that information.
SONIA KAHAYAN May 21, 2021

  Hi Sonia,
  
  Since this is a piece concept route, if your checked bag is overweight by 7 kg, but the bags total weight is under 32 kgs, you should be charged $50 if you pay online or $65 at the airport.
SONIA KAHAYAN May 22, 2021

Is the cost listed for the economy class? Is there a specific time to check your baggage online?

I am traveling from PHL to CCU. Can I carry a 55-inch Samsung tv as my checked extra bag? How much will it cost? Plus I have an infant, will a stroller and car seat be allowed?
- Jarrod West June 6, 2021
  
  Hi Mike,
  
  You should be permitted to carry the TV as your extra checked bag, and you should only be charged extra if the linear dimensions or weight exceed the stated baggage limits. Qatar should also permit you to bring a stroller and a car seat onboard the flight.
Ali June 4, 2021

My flight is from the US to Iran in economy. The site states that there are two pieces of luggage, each weighing 50lbs(23kg) allowed, but my reservation (as per Qatar economy flight option) shows one piece of 50lbs(23kg). I am reluctant to complete the reservation (purchase) and later at the airport to discover that I was wrong no matter which option I chose. Please help. Thank you.
- Jarrod West June 6, 2021
  
  Hi Ali,
  
  We are not Qatar Airways, we are Upgraded Points – a website that publishes helpful information for travelers. So I cannot explain why you’re seeing a baggage discrepancy for your booking. I recommend you call the Qatar customer service team directly at 1-(877)-777-2827 to get that sorted.
Maribel June 5, 2021

I will be traveling from the USA to the Philippines. How much exactly is the maximum luggage? I only have 2 bags, 1 for me, 1 for my son, and they weigh 55 pounds. Do I have to pay extra for that or no? Thanks.
- Jarrod West June 6, 2021
  
  Hi Maribel,
  
  For this route, checked bags can weigh up to 50 pounds per piece. So you would be charged a $50 overweight fee per bag if you pay online, or $65 per bag if you pay at the airport.

Claudio November 19, 2021

I will fly with Qatar from Zurich via Doha to Djibouti in economy.
2x 23 kg checked baggage per person is allowed right?

So, if I take one (1) normal suitcase (20 kg) and one (1) cardboard box (packed bicycle); dimensions 162 x 92 x 24 cm: total 278 cm; weight: 20 kg), is it correct that there are no extra costs and the bicycle travels for “free”? If not, how much extra would it cost?

Thank you very much and have a great day.
- Jarrod West November 19, 2021
  
  Hi Claudio,
  
  Checked bags are not allowed to exceed 158 cm in linear dimensions, so it is likely that you will be charged an oversized baggage fee of $50.
  - Claudio November 20, 2021
    
    Great. Thank you very much Jarrod.
    Where did you find the $50 charge? All the best.

sam February 2, 2022

Why are extra Kilos are so expensive?
I will be soon traveling to Nepal from London via Doha. My allowance is 25 kilos, which is ridiculous. With my suitcase filled it weights 32 kilos already.
What is the best and cheapest way to add a few kilos to my 25 kilos allowance?
- Jarrod West February 3, 2022
  
  Hi Sam,
  
  We are not affiliated with Qatar Airways, so I cannot say why they charge so much for extra luggage. What I can say is the best way to minimize your fees is to purchase online with a saving of up to 20% compared to the rates at the airport, via the call center, or at the airline’s office.
