Hey Lombok!
Thanks for reading! We appreciate the feedback!
Hi, I am traveling from Islamabad to Prague (connecting flight). Turkish airlines allowed 30kg. I want to know how much the fee of overweighted of my luggage bag?
Hi Nadia,
I’m unsure of the question here? Are you asking how much excess luggage is charged at when flying with Turkish Airlines? Or are you connecting to another airline at Istanbul and you’re enquiring the connecting airline?
Hi, I want ask you about my travel from Dublin to Algeria with Turkish Airlines with 1 stop in Istanbul. We are a family of 2 adults and my daughter 3 years old and new born baby. Please how many suitcases can I have and how many kg by suitcase and how many small bags in carry can we have and how many kg by bag please. Thank you very much.
Hi Yassine,
The allowance would be (per person):
Adults and 3 year old
Carry-on: 1 x personal item and 1 standard carry-on (55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm. Maximum weight for each item is 8 kg)
Checked luggage: 1 x 20 kg

Hi,
I’m going to be flying with Turkish Airlines from Dublin to São Paulo. I have the two 23kg bags allowed, but I also have my acoustic guitar with a hard case around 7.5kg. How much will it cost?
Thanks.
Hi Mauricio,
Your guitar will likely qualify as an oversized item and be charged an oversized fee. Turkish Airlines does not disclose the charge on its website, so you would need to give the airline a call to determine this.
I want to know if I can buy an extra bag of (15-23) Kg and what the cost will be?
Hi Mamun,
Where will you be flying to and from?
Hello!
I will travel from New Delhi India to Toronto Canada and my check in baggages are of 162 linear dimensions each. Will I pay the oversize fee? If so, then how much shall I pay in Cad? Also my bags are of size 22 kg each.
Hi Harkaran,
Turkish Airlines allows luggage within the free allowance to measure up to 158cm (max linear). As your piece exceeds this it is likely you would incur an oversized fee. As Turkish Airlines does not disclose the charge on its website you would need to give the airline a call to query this.
Well, I’m flying in Economy class but in the ticket the baggage allowance is 30kg. Just not indicated how many pieces are allowed.
Hi Nazanin,
I am shocked to hear that as usually economy flights only allow between 20kgs to 23kgs for your checked luggage. Is this printed on your ticket? If not, you may want to call the Turkish customer service team to verify.
I am traveling from New York to Abuja and I have an extra bag. How much is the fee?
Hi Ladi,
Since Abuja is a piece region, it is likely that they will charge you $160 for an extra bag.
I am traveling from Boston to Kathmandu (Nepal). I wanted to know if the personal item is a laptop bag, will it be counted as the carry-on luggage or not. And also if I wanted to carry extra baggage what would be the cost?
Hi Aayush,
A laptop bag is a personal item and will not be counted as a carry-on bag. For this route, an extra piece of luggage should cost $250.
Info on the Turkish airlines’ website is very confusing. In some places it says $340 for extra checked luggage, while United, a connecting airline, says $80. On a different page, it also says $340 – $450.
If you are flying from Cleveland, OH to KTM, how much does Turkish Air charge for extra luggage (23 kg)?
I have luggage weighing 28kgs and 18kgs, is this allowed? My flight is from Lisbon to Istanbul to Manila.
Hi Jaezar,
Yes, you will be allowed to bring those bags, but they will be subject to excess baggage fees.
Hi, I am travelling from Chicago to India (Hyderabad). I am allowed 23kgs of luggage per piece. I want to make each luggage to 32kgs. What would be the cost?
Hi Mobina,
Turkish Airlines charges $80 for bags exceeding 23 kgs up to 32 kgs, so for 2 bags the cost would be $160.
Hi I am flying soon from Jacksonville to Pristina with Turkish Airlines and I want to know how much is the fee for overweighted of my check in baggage?
Thank you
Hi Klaudja,
Turkish Airlines charges $80 for excess luggage (23-32kg).
How much does Turkish Airlines charge for excess baggage for a internal flight from Istanbul to Dalaman?
Flew here from London with 2 cases 20kg each for me and my partner.
Hi Jay,
Turkish Airlines charges 10 TRY per kg for excess luggage.
Hi
I’m traveling from Iran to Houston with one stop in Istanbul. Can I carry my guitar to the cabin? I’m so worried about checking it because of the high risk of being damaged.
Hi Nardin,
Turkish Airlines allows musical instruments in the cabin that don’t exceed 118 cm (width+length+height).
I have a 50kg bag I’ll bring from Nigeria to Istanbul. How much will it cost me?
Hi Ayo,
Flights from Nigeria work on a piece allowance. Since you will be bringing more than the allowed amount you will have to pay $160 in excess baggage fees for an extra piece of luggage.
Thanks for reading!
Hi,
I am flying from Bangkok to Baku and my allowance is 20 kg. However, I want to have another bag of an additional 20kg.
What would be the cost be?
Hi Medhat,
For this route, you may have to pay up to $27 per kg.
Thanks for reading!
Hi my name is Mohammad Popal my flight is tomorrow morning Nov 18 from Dushanbe Airport to Canada with Turkish Airlines and I have one stop at Istanbul Int Airport. One of my two pieces lagge is over weight (30).
Could you kindly let us know the cost.
Hi Mohammed,
Where the maximum baggage weight is 23 kg for an economy passenger, a fee of $80 USD will be applied for passengers with a piece weighing 23-32 kg.
Hi,
What kind of Items not allowed in Carry on Luggage ?
Hi Hazhan,
Turkish Airlines lists items that can and cannot be taken in carry-on luggage. You can refer to that list here.
Hi,
I will be traveling from Athens to Turkey so I would like to know how many pieces I can bring on my flight. It will be in economy class.
Thanks
Hi Ana,
For your trip, you may bring 1 personal item, 1 piece of carry-on luggage, and 1 piece of checked luggage weighing no more than 20 kgs.
Thanks for reading!
Hi, who know how much it costs for extra kg with flight from Nigeria to Ukraine
Hi Jenny,
Where the maximum baggage weight is 23 kg for an economy passenger, a fee of $80 will be applied for passengers with a piece weighing 23-32 kg.
If you require more weight then you would need to purchase another 23 kg bag for $195.
From Qatar to Ghana and I was given 40kg and hand luggage is 7kg.
I have 2 bags and each weighs 23kg and my tv is also 8kg, please how much would I have to pay for that please? Thanks
Hi Kwabena,
I imagine your TV exceeds carry-on luggage size allowances so all of the luggage you reference would need to be checked. Ghana is a piece concept destination with an allowance of 2 x 23 kg bags, so be sure to check your ticket as you mention a 40 kg allowance. If you have been allocated 2 x 23 kg bags, then you would need to purchase a third piece which would cost $220 and could measure up to 158cm.
I want to fly from the USA to Pakistan and I have one extra bag, how much it will cost me? What is the price difference between business class and economy class? Does the flight go straight from the US to Pakistan?
Hi Adil,
The charge for an extra bag with Turkish Airlines between the US and Pakistan should be $250. The price difference between business class and economy class will depend greatly on the day and time that you are flying. You can view the price difference on the airlines’ website or on a site like Google Flights. Pakistan Airlines planned to open the only non-stop route between NYC and Islamabad starting in May or 2020, but it seems this has been delayed due to COVID-19.
Thanks for reading!
I am traveling from Rome to Tehran with one stop in Istanbul. Turkish Airlines allows 30kg. I want to know if I can divide the 30 kg into two bags each with 15kg, and if not how much will I have to pay for the extra luggage?
Hi Nazanin,
Are you flying in Business class? If not, the maximum weight allowed is 20 kgs. If you are flying business class then yes, you should be permitted to bring 2 bags that are 15 kgs each.
Thanks for reading!
Hi, I want to ask if Turkish Airlines allow two luggage bags for check in going to Philippines? And how many kg are allow each bag? Thank you for response 🙂
Hi Mary, where are you flying from?
How much will I pay for 2 large checked bags of 23kgs and 25kgs? I’m flying to Bremen with Turkish Airlines from Manila, Philippines. I’m a bit confused because my friend who is in Germany now had 2 large checked-in bags of 20kgs and 23kgs but the Turkish Airlines in PH didn’t charge her for excess baggage. We are both Economy class.
Hi Lei,
This route allows for up to 20 kgs of free checked luggage, and anything beyond that should be charged at a rate of $27 per kg.
Hi
I am traveling with Turkish Airlines
From Budapest to Bujumbura with my 11 year old daughter
What is my baggage allowances?
Thank you very much
Hi Sonia,
I assume part of the journey is being operated by another carrier. If this is the case, then it’s best you check the baggage allowance stated on your ticket or get in touch with Turkish Airlines to see if the other airline’s baggage allowance would be applicable as they would be the most significant carrier for the segment of the journey from Istanbul.
I am trying to figure out how much I will be charged.
I am flying from Tbilisi, Georgia, to Atlanta, GA, USA
I fly alone and I have 160 kg to take with me.
What is most efficient thing to do to transport 160 kg ?
Hi Kiril,
The United States routes have a “piece” concept, so the weight isn’t that important. You can take up to 23 kg per piece without a surcharge or 23-32 kg per piece at an additional fee of $80 on top of excess baggage fees. Perhaps the best way to do this is to transport it via freight on DHL or another vendor.
Hi,
I am traveling from London to Mashhad on Economy.
Can I purchase and extra luggage piece allowance? If so how much would it be?
Thanks
Hi Zari,
Those destinations work on a weight allowance, so excess baggage charges are calculated by the kilogram rather than by piece. Both origin and destination are region 4 so the cost per kilogram would be $25.
Hi, I have a connecting flight from Malta to Geneva via Istanbul. My baggage allowance is 30kg, would it be possible to split the baggage allowance into 2 bags please? PNR reference is xxxxxx. if possible please let me know if any charge applies.
Thanks and regards,
Hi Renee,
Please be aware that we are not Turkish Airlines, we are UpgradedPoints.com. Turkish Airlines’ policy allows passengers to split weight across multiple pieces without charge.
Hope that helps!
I’m traveling from Istanbul to London. How many bags am I allowed to check?
Hi Omowunmi,
For this trip, you should be able to bring 1 personal item, 1 carry-on item, and 1 checked bag weighing up to 44 pounds (20 kgs).
Hi Jarrod, I’m travelling from Turkey to London and I have a checked bag of 30kg. How much will they charge for the extra 10kg. Thanks.
Hi Victor,
For this route, you should need to pay $12.50 per extra kilogram, for a total of $125.
How much should an international journey from piece region charge per bag be?
Hi Iduwe,
The charge for an extra bag between two piece regions should be $290.
I would like to pay for extra luggage in advance. Could you be so kind as to help me!?
Hi Olena, please be advised we are not Turkish Airlines so we cannot process any purchases or payments for your flight on the airline.
That being said, as you can see in the “Can I prepay for Baggage?” section above, Turkish Airlines does not allow passengers the ability to pre-pay for excess baggage. Unfortunately, this means passengers must pay baggage fees during the check-in process at the airport.
Hi Erin,
In your article, you mention that Elite Miles & Smiles members get one extra bag up to 110 cm length. I am trying to figure out whether I can bring a painting that is 110 cm long but the three dimensions added together are a little bit more than 158 cm. I can’t find any official airline site that refers to the 110 cm length. Would you be able to point me to it? I don’t want to throw the painting away if refused.
Thanks, John
Hi John,
If you’re a Miles & Smiles Classic Plus members you can bring an additional piece of baggage up to 10kgs in weight but the website does not mention any dimension requirements. You can view that information here: https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-us/miles-and-smiles/program-details/benefits-and-privileges/index.html
I would contact Turkish Airlines with your issue and see if they can better assist you with your painting. You can do so through this link: https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-gb/any-questions/get-in-touch/
Hi,
I am traveling from Moscow Russia to Dhaka Bangladesh on 02 October 2019. I purchased an electric scooter (packet dimension is 108cm * 43cm * 49cm) for my son. Do I need to pay any extra charge to carry it in Turkish Airlines?
Hi,
Turkish Airlines allows luggage within the free allowance to measure up to 158cm (max linear). As your piece exceeds this it is likely you would incur an oversized fee. As Turkish Airlines does not disclose the charge on its website you would need to give the airline a call to query this.
Hi
How much I have to pay if my check in luggages are 2 kg overweighted?
Hi,
Excess checked luggage fees depend on your route. Where you flying from and to?
Hi, I’m flying Turkish Airlines from Mumbai to Istanbul and from Istanbul to Birmingham. I’ve got one hand bag and two luggage bag and luggage is 30kg allowed and my luggage is extra so how much I have to pay for extra luggage flight TK721 on 20th.
Hi Ivan,
Mumbai is region 5 and Birmingham is region 4 so the fee would be $30.50 USD per kilogram of excess luggage.
I have a question please answer:
If I carry two checked bags that weigh over thirty-two kilograms, should I pay for a few extra kilograms or not? Thanks
Hi Nahida – we need a few more details here to help you out, like what fare type you purchased, if you’re flying domestically or internationally, where exactly you’re flying (to/from what regions), is your weight over the 32KG across both bags or is it two bags combined that weigh over 32kg, how much are you expecting to be over, etc?
Aside from all that, whether or not you should pay extra is fairly subjective (i.e. up to you) but whether or not the airline will make you pay extra (if it’s just a kg or two) is completely up to the ticketing agent and how strict they’re feeling. Since they charge per-kilo extra I’d say they’re going to make you pay for it and will likely be pretty strict.
I’m travelling to Nigeria from Heathrow, London. How much will I pay for an extra luggage of 23 to 32 kg
Hi John,
Where the maximum baggage weight is 23 kg for an economy passenger, a fee of $80 USD will be applied for passengers with a piece weighing 23-32 kg.
Hi
I am travelling from Dublin to Lahore Pakistan with my two and half years down, my ticket says that I am allowed 30kg baggage allowance, does that mean 30kg for each passenger right? And can I divide my weight into 2 bags (rather than having 30kg in one, can i make 15kg’s 2 bags).
Regards
Hi Aqra,
If your ticket states 30kg then this would be the allowance per passenger with their own seat. You would be able to divide the weight across multiple bags.
Hi looking for help with a Turkish airlines flight tomorrow morning. It says on the ticket baggage allowance max 30kg. Does that mean I have 30kg already included. I am flying from Kathmandu to Athens . Thank you
Hi Barbara – does it say word for word “baggage allowance max 30k”? It’s likely that this is included BUT it’s tricky because it may actually mean that no matter if it’s complimentary or not it cannot be over 30kg.
Baggage allowance depends on which fare type you purchased (economy, biz, first) and the route you’re flying. As **we are not Turkish Airlines** we cannot 100% confirm the accurate baggage allowance you will receive but suggest you call their customer service line! Sorry to not be of more help!
Hi, I’m from USA and I’m flying with Turkish airline tomorrow. I’m really confused on the checked baggage. How much does it cost for me to check my luggage?
Hi Tracy,
If you’re flying from the United States then you will have 2 x 23 kg bags in your free checked allowance, if flying Economy. 2 x 32 kg bags if flying Business Class.
Hi Erin, i am flying from Germany to Nigeria through Turkish Airlines and one of my luggage is over 23kg, please how much will I be charged for the excess? Thank you.
Hi Queen,
You have 2 options here – if you pack your extra weight in the same bag then you will be charged $80 for excess weight up to 32 kg. Or you can purchase an additional 23 kg bag for $200.
I have a question related to baggage. If I purchase an economy seat, but my baggage is 30 kg (which is 10 kg more than allowed). Will I be still allowed to take it after paying the extra amount, or they will require me to buy a business seat? My second question is about extra baggage. For economy class, is extra baggage 20 kg or 23 kg? Btw, I plan to fly from Baku to Hamburg, and that’s a transit flight.
Hi Nargiz,
If you bring a bag weighing 30kg you will not have to buy a business class set, you will just need to pay the extra baggage fee. For economy class on your route, the extra baggage fee applies to anything over 20kg.
Thanks for reading!
My family and I are flying from Heathrow to Istanbul to Antalya. I bought this ticket through an online travel agent, does that still mean I get 23kg of free baggage allowance individually or does it mean that it’s for the whole group?
Thank you for assisting me!
Hi Shopna,
Each person flying will receive 23kg in free baggage allowance!
Thanks for reading!
Hi, I need help to clarify some things for Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles. I’m already an Elite member and as such, I’m entitled to an additional 20kg baggage allowance. Does this mean that on top of the 30kg I have from my base fare, I still get 20kg extra for checked in baggage? Thank you.
Hi Alfonso,
Yes that is correct – the 20kg would be in addition to your baggage allowance. If you would like to refer to the section on the Turkish Airlines website that states this, please see https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-gb/any-questions/baggage-information/free-baggage-rules/. I have attached a screenshot of where this is mentioned. Just be mindful of the maximum 32kg weight of one bag – Turkish Airlines won’t accept a piece heavier than this so you will need to distribute across multiple pieces to use the full allowance.
Hope this helps!
Flying economy from Cape Town to Malta on TA and checked bag is 34.5 kg and hand luggage 9kg. Return ticket is 6 months later and I do not know if they will consider that I stay away long. What am I allowed?
Hi Monica,
Turkish Airlines has a maximum weight allowance of 8kg for a piece of carry-on so you would risk having to check this item. You are also permitted to bring on board a personal item such as a handbag, so you could distribute some of the weight into that item.
Checked allowance is 20kg, so you would incur excess baggage fees for the additional 14.5kg you would be taking. Cape Town is region 5 and Malta region 2 and the cost per kilogram is EUR22. The total excess cost would be EUR319.
Hope this helps!
Hello, I would like to ask about the extra luggage fee. I am flying from London to Almaty, through Istanbul. On my ticket, it says that I am allowed 1 luggage max 30 kg (economy). So, if I want to take extra luggage of 30 kg, how much should I pay? And as far as I know I have to pay on the flying day, right?
Thank you very much.
Hi Salta, according to Turkish Airlines website for excess baggage fees, when it comes to excess for international flights the fee is assessed per each kg of extra baggage on a regional concept. According to that same link, London is Region 4 and Almaty is Region 2 and the fee for 1kg of excess weight would be 17EUR. To find the cost of another bag of 30kg you would simply take 17EUR x30 = 510EUR.
This seems a bit excessive… So, since we are not Turkish Airlines, we would suggest calling their customer service line to confirm.
To answer your second question, as you can see from the “Can I Pre-pay for Baggage” section above, Turkish Airlines does NOT allow passengers the ability to pre-pay. Therefore, passengers must pay any excess baggage fees during the check-in process at the airport.
Hello,
I am flying from Delhi to Malaga via Istanbul, Economy Class and on my ticket, it says 30K free baggage, does that mean that my cabin baggage weight is also included in it? If yes, how much I have to pay if my checked luggage weight is 7kg more than the maximum limit?
Thank You.
Hi Shubhangi,
When a ticket states a weight allowance, it’s usually referring to your checked luggage allowance. Turkish Airlines does state on its baggage policy that ‘Free baggage allowance may vary depending on reservation class and route’ and some travelers have reported higher checked allowances for Economy on certain routes. If your ticket states a 30kg allowance (with no mention of this applying to checked and carry-on luggage) then you should be ok but we recommend you contact Turkish Airlines to confirm this. These are the contact details of their office in Delhi: +91 12 4419 3000 / +91 12 4419 3011-12 or [email protected].
Hi, I am flying from Odessa to Ecuador… when I booked the ticket it said one checked baggage… but then I get confused because if you travel to South America you are supposed to be allowed 2 pieces?
Hi Cindy,
Turkish Airlines made some changes in recent months to their baggage policy and this included changing some of the destinations that worked on the piece concept (allowing 2 x 23kg bags). The route you are taking would work on the weight concept so the allowance for Economy would be 20kg total weight. This could be split across 2 x 10kg bags if you choose to.
Hope this helps!
Hello,
I have a flight from Tokyo to Porto (Portugal) and a stop in Istanbul. What is my luggage allowance and how can I buy a extra piece of luggage, as I’m a seafarer and I have extra weight in my 2 pieces already.
Thank you.
Hi José, this will depend on which fare type you bought (economy, business, first)… if you give us that information we can better assist in answering your question. 🙂
I am going from Mumbai to Basel Switzerland on 7th May 2019 by flight TK-721. Free baggage allowance is 30 kgs.
My question is: 1 How many bags can I carry?
2 can I carry Packed Mangoes?
Hi Vinodchandra – we’re not sure about the mangoes part… you’d get the most accurate answer on that from asking Turkish Airlines directly at their customer service phone number (we are not Turkish Airlines).
In terms of how many bags you can carry for flights that work on a “weight concept”, as you can see we report above — Turkish Airlines states there is no restriction on the number of bags per passenger as long as the combined weight of the bags does not exceed 30kg.
I am flying from Edinburgh to Sharm El Sheikh. How much would an extra bag cost?
Sarah,
Edinburgh is in region 4, and Sharm El Sheikh is in region 2, so the extra cost is $19.50 per kilo. Thanks for reading.
Hi there,
I was wondering, how much does it cost to buy extra checked in baggage as I am in Manchester and leaving for Mogadishu Somalia? I think that my luggage is quite over the limit allowed. I would like to buy extra 20kg
Thanks
Hi Abdi! First, please be informed that we are not Turkish Airlines, we are Upgraded Points – a website that published points and miles based articles as well as additional travel-related articles such as this baggage fee post.
That being said, we did include the link to Turkish Airlines’ definition of regions above in the post. If you go there, you’ll see that Manchester is Region 4, and Mogadishu is Region 5. Turkish Airlines charges fees on excess weight PER KILO. So, if you wanted to buy 20 extra kilos, excess baggage should cost you ~$30.50 USD per kilo or $610.
This seems a bit extreme so you may want to go ahead and call Turkish Airlines’ reservation/customer service number and inquire with them directly.
Hi, I have a direct flight from Istanbul to Toronto. I am allowed to have 2×23 Kg as check-in baggage. Now, first I wonder whether or not I can have one extra bag as check-in baggage with additional payment? Also, I read on the excess baggage page that I should pay $160 for one more bag (the third one). Am I right? Is that $160 for a direct flight from Istanbul to Toronto/Canada?
Hi Bob, your research seems right to me! From looking at Turkish Airlines’ baggage policy it seems flights to Canada work on their ‘piece system’ and that Toronto is Region 1, so for one extra bag (your third), I would expect to pay $160.
Just a note – I’m not sure if you have a round trip flight scheduled but baggage fees are usually applied on a one-way charge basis, so you would also pay this fee upon your return flight.
Lastly, as a reminder, we are not Turkish Airlines so we’re simply commenting here having done our research on their policies as best we can. For the most accurate information regarding your question we always advise calling the reservation/customer service line for the airline in question.
Hope we could help!
Hi, I am flying from Islamabad to Manchester, I was wondering how much weight and bags am I allowed in total and exactly please? Thank you
Hi Liaqat,
As per the Turkish Airlines baggage policy, the airline permits 20kg of checked luggage for Economy passengers and 30kg for Business Class passengers. That route works on a weight concept so you can split your allowance across multiple bags if you choose to.
The carry-on allowance is 1 bag (8kg) for Economy passengers and 2 bags (8kg each) for Business Class passengers. Both cabins are permitted to also bring a personal item such as a handbag or laptop bag.
Hope that helps
Hello, I would like to know how much is excessive baggage from Saudi Arabia, Dammam to Vienna, Austria. I have one layover in Istanbul.
Hi Filip,
Using Turkish Airlines excess baggage table, Saudi Arabia is region 4 and Vienna is region 2, so the cost per 1 kg of excess luggage would be EUR17 (approx USD19). Just calculate how many extra kgs you require by EUR17/USD19 and you have your total.
Hello, how much is excessive baggage from Malta to Vilnius, Lithuania?
Hi Virginija,
According to Turkish Airlines’ excess baggage table, Malta is region 2 and Vilnius is region 3, so that’s EUR14 per kilogram of excess luggage.
Hello! Could you help me with a question please? If I’m flying Chișinău to Chicago with Turkish Airlines, how much am I going to pay for overweight baggage per kg? Thank you in advance!
Hi Kate,
As you’re flying to a destination that works on the piece concept (not weight concept,) then you would pay a fixed fee for an additional bag over your allowance rather than purchasing additional weight. Chișinău is region 1 and Chicago is piece region 1 so that’s USD165 per way.
Hope that helps!
Hi, I am flying from Afghanistan Mazar-i-Sharif to Stockholm. I have booked economy class and it allows me to carry my hand baggage with 30 kg, so I wonder how much is the cost for extra weight as my baggage weight is going to be more than 30 kg, thanks.
Hi Massoud,
For that particular journey, Turkish Airlines charges $19.50 per kilogram for excess luggage.
I am traveling on Turkish airlines to Bremen Germany.
Allowed weight is 30 kg. Can I bring a bag of linear dimensions = 168 cm so that I don’t need to separate weight and if don’t, can I separate weight in two bags.
Hi Amr,
You haven’t stated your departure point but as you mentioned you have 30kg of weight, we’ll assume your traveling from a destination that works on the weight concept rather than the piece concept. If that is the case, then you are able to distribute your weight across multiple bags. Turkish Airlines only references maximum linear dimensions for piece concept bags, so it’s advisable you contact the airline directly to clarify: https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-int/any-questions/get-in-touch/
Hello, my father will travel from Karachi to New York via Istanbul, so how many bags and weight allowed for this trip?
Hi Umama,
Flights to and from the USA work on the piece allowance for checked luggage, and as long as these two flights have been booked together on one ticket, then the allowance would apply from the longest flight leg (which would be Istanbul to New York.) If flying in economy class, then the allowance would be 2 x 23kg bags and if flying in business class, 2 x 32kg bags. The maximum linear size of each bag is 158cm.
The carry-on luggage allowance is 1 bag for economy passengers and 2 bags for business class. A carry-on bag must not exceed 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm or 8kg. Every passenger is also permitted to bring a smaller personal item such as a handbag or laptop bag.
Hope your father has a good trip.
I will be traveling from Islamabad to ABJ. I have the 2(23Kg) bags already and a 20 kg extra bag. What will it cost me?
Hi Eyitayo,
For this route, you should expect to pay around $250 for the extra bag.
Thanks for reading!
Hi there,
I was wondering, how much does it cost to buy extra checked in baggage. I am in Houston Texas and leaving for Budapest Hungary and I think that my luggage is quite over the limit allowed. I would like to buy extra 20kg.
Hi Fenyvesi,
As flights from the United States work on the piece concept, you would need to buy an additional bag, rather than increasing the weight of your current bags. Using Turkish Airlines’ excess baggage table, Houston is classed as ‘piece region 1’ and Budapest is ‘region 2’, which would be USD170 for an extra 23kg bag.
Hello!
I’m flying from Manila to Tehran (IKA) in economy class.
I have my own scuba diving gear which is in one bag, and also one bag of my clothes and things which is less than 30 kg. Will I need to pay extra?
Thank you in advance
Hi Fereshteh,
Just so I’m clear, are both of your bags under 30 kgs combined? Or will one piece exceed the weight limit allowed?
Hello, we are a group of 8 flying from Gatwick to Dalaman. Each of us has an allowance of 23kg (total 184kg’s). We would like to combine the allowances so we do not have to carry 8 pieces of luggage. The question is, would we be allowed to take 4 pieces of luggage at a max weight of 32kgs each, so total 136kgs?
Thanks
Hi Shaun! First, please be advised we are not Turkish Airlines and as such, we cannot answer this question with 100% confidence. When it comes to detailed issues that arise outside of basic published policies, it’s always best to call the specific airline in question and speak with their customer service directly.
Each airline has its own written (and sometimes unwritten) policies for situations like this and some are more strict than others. I would ASSUME, that they won’t allow you to do this as most airlines are usually pretty particular on how they divide baggage weight/fees per fare purchased but it’s worth a phone call!
Regardless of what Turkish Airlines Customer Service reports, we would love it if you checked back in here and let us know if they did/did not allow you to do this! Sorry to not be of more help…
Hi
I am travelling from karachi to London visa Istanbul on economy ticket with wife and child. They allow 20kg per person for check-in baggage. There is no bag dimension mentioned on their website for weight region. I wanted to know is there any bag dimension defined there and can we combine total weight of 60 kg in 2 bags instead of 20kg per bag?
Hi Mona,
As Turkish Airlines does not state whether pooling luggage between travel companions is permitted, it would be down to the check-in assistant at the airport. To avoid the risk of excess luggage charges, we would recommend you contact the airline directly to query this and get something in writing to show at the airport if this is permitted. The same applies to the baggage size question. We would assume the size would be the same as the piece concept, but Turkish Airlines will confirm this for you.
Thanks for your recent decision to fly to Port Harcourt, Nigeria. How many baggages are allowed in 20kg.
Barye
Hi Braye – please be advised we are not Turkish Airlines. We are Upgraded Points, a website dedicated to publishing points and miles based content in addition to other travel related articles such as this post.
To answer any baggage related questions we would need to know what fare type you purchased and what route you are flying as well…
Hi, I am flying from new york to Albania with Turkish Airlines but my baggage is 23.5 kg… How much am I going to pay ?
Hi elaa – Which fare type did you purchase? Which airport/city in Albania are you flying into? Are you flying on a Turkish Airlines operated flight or is it operated via another airline?
Let us know and we can try to help estimate your fees…
I booked a flight to Uganda in December 2019. My baggage allowance is 2 pieces of 23kgs each. I want to carry my 50″ LCD flat TV along to Uganda. Is it possible to check the flat TV as baggage? If not what is the way forward to carry it?
Thanks
Hi Tom,
The maximum linear dimensions for a piece of checked luggage is 158cm and a 50 inch TV would exceed this. As Turkish Airlines does not publish any information on oversized luggage we advise you give them a call to query what the charges would be.
I would like to take 55″ TV from Oslo, Norway to Addis Abeba, Ethiopia using Turkish Airlines. How much I am going to pay for it?
Hi Solomon, please be advised we are not Turkish Airlines so we cannot answer your question with 100% accuracy. We have attempted to research the information Turkish Airlines posts about their excess/fragile baggage online but we could not find any mention of checking-in a TV.
We suggest you call Turkish Airlines customer service directly to inquire with them for the most accurate info on this.
If you find anything out, I’m sure other readers would appreciate if you checked back in here and let us know their policy on TVs!
Hi there, I’m traveling to Germany from Pakistan. Just need clarity on how much bags and weight I’m allowed to carry on Turkish Airlines.
Since you’re flying to Germany from Pakistan, you will most likely be allotted a total weight of 20kg in economy. There’s no limit on how many pieces you’re allowed. The only restriction is the weight. Thanks for reading.
Hi, I am traveling from Montreal to Kabul via Istanbul on Turkish airlines with an economy class ticket. I have 2 pieces of baggage that are 50 kg in total ( 24 kg and 25.5 kg each ), are they going to charge me for one more extra bag or the additional 5 kg or even better, they won’t charge anything for that little extra kgs? Thanks in advance.
Hi Fayaz, how long is your stopover in Istanbul?
It is around 6 hours.
Please, I am using Turkish Airline to fly to Cameroon starting from Budapest. How much will each kilo overweight cost me? And how many kilograms do I get as normal?.
Victor, we would need to know what fare type you purchased (economy, business, first, etc) and what airport you’re flying into in order to help you out with this question!
Alternatively, you can find your free baggage allowance here: https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-us/any-questions/free-baggage/index.html and then easily calculate your excess fees by viewing Turkish Airline’s region definitions here: https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-us/any-questions/excess-baggage/index.html.
It’s possible your flight to Cameroon is on their “piece” concept vs their “weight” concept. Also, this information is likely to be listed in your reservation confirmation. Hope this helps! 🙂
I am traveling from Mumbai to Toulouse and will have booked via corporate. I am allowed 40kgs with 2 pieces.
I have a bag with linear dimension of 167 cms. Will it be allowed to be checked in?
I read that maximum dimension allowed is 158cms. Can I check it in as oversized luggage?
Hi Prateek – we cannot find anywhere on the Turkish Airlines website that lists fees for an “oversized” bag. This likely means, as a rule, they do not allow any bags over 158cm to be checked in.
However, since we are not Turkish Airlines, I can’t be 100% confident in this answer. I suggest you call their customer service line directly and inquire with them! (This should be their Mumbai Reservations line: 091 22 61997900)
Hello. I’m travelling from Ercan North Cyprus to South Africa and connecting to South African Airways to Zimbabwe. I’m just a student and I need to know the kgs that are allowed for free baggage because when I bought the ticket on Turkish it said 23kg but now it’s saying 20 kg. I am confused.
Thank you.
Hi Natasha,
That route would work on the weight concept with an allowance of 20kg checked luggage. Some routes work on the piece concept allowing 2 x 23kg bags so maybe that is what you saw when booking. The most accurate information will be on your ticket so if this states 20kg, then this is your allowance.
Hi, I’ve booked my trip from New York to Kiev through Istanbul. Economy class.
How many pieces of free baggage can I take with me?
What is the weight?
Thank you
Hi Oksana,
The allowance is 2 x 23 kg checked bags, 1 standard carry-on (8 kg), and one personal item.
Hello
I’m travelling from Dubai to Turkey. They allowed me to carry 40kg then travelling from turkey to casablanca with same weights. I have 2 bags for baggage 20kg x 2. I have 0.8 extra, do they charge me? And also I have a laptop and handbag with another trolley bag 8kg that i will carry to airplane. The 8kg, does it include laptop bag with handbag?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Ibtissam,
I’m not aware of your circumstances (what cabin you’re flying in or if you have frequent flyer elite status) but Turkish Airlines permits passengers to bring 20kg of luggage if traveling in Economy and 30kg if traveling in Business Class. You mentioned 40kg of luggage, is this what is printed on your ticket? If you have baggage that exceeds your allowance then there is always the chance with any airline of being charged excess baggage fees.
For hand luggage you are permitted 1 standard carry-on weighing up to 8kg plus 1 additional personal item. No weight allowance is specified for the personal item. You mentioned having a laptop, handbag and a standard carry-on piece – just be aware that you are only permitted 1 personal item in addition to your standard carry-on bag.
Hi
I’m flying on Turkish Airlines from US to Cairo on business how much will cost me if I take extra suitcase 70 pound weight and am I allowed only 50 pound for extra bag ?
Thank you
Hi Abir,
Where in the US are you flying from? With destinations operating on the piece concept you would only be able to purchase an additional bag up to the weight allowance for your cabin (50 lbs for Economy, 70 lbs for Business Class.) If you require more then you would need to purchase another bag.
Hi
I’m leaving from Atlanta Georgia
The extra bag I would like to take it’s (70) pound is the extra bag supposed to be 50 pound ? I’m worried about they will charge me too much for the extra 20 pound what do you think I should do ?
Thank you in advance
Hi Abir,
Your free baggage allowance on this route is 2 x 23 kg of luggage. To take an extra bag (23 kg) the cost is $195 USD. According to Turkish Airlines’ baggage t’s & c’s, for piece concept routes, they charge a fee of $80 USD for bags weighing 23-32 kg. So as long as your first 2 bags do not exceed 23 kg then you would be charged $195 USD + $80 USD = $275 USD.
Hello, I need your help. I am not able to calculate the price. I am convinced I will have 1 baggage of 32kg out of the 2 (23kg) I am allowed. Could you help calculate how much I might be paying for 32kg excess luggage flying Economy to Lagos, Nigeria from Berlin, Germany through Istanbul? Thank you.
Hi Adedayo,
Do you mean you will have 1 x 32kg bag in addition to your 2 x 23kg bags? Or just 1 x 32kg bag in total?
I meant I will have 1 23kg and 1 32kg flying economy. If it is not possible to have it like this, how much will an extra 23kg luggage cost.
Hi Adedayo,
According to Turkish Airlines’ baggage t’s & c’s for piece concept routes, they charge a fee of $80 USD for bags weighing 23-32 kg so if you have 1 x 23 kg and 1 x 32 kg you would be charged $80 USD.
Hi,
Your article is so impressive and informative. Just want to seek your help. My parents are going to fly back to Jakarta from Birmingham (BHX), we bought the tickets from online travel agency, Go to Gate. On the travel document it says the checked baggage allowance is: baggage allowed 30 kg, hand luggage included. Does it mean I only have 23 kg allowed for checked baggage (2 pcs allowed) + 7 kg carry on?
Many thanks.
Dwi
Hi Dee,
Happy to hear you found the article useful!
Birmingham to Jakarta would work on the weight concept, with Economy passengers being permitted 20 kg of checked luggage and Business Class passengers, 30 kg. Assuming your parents are flying in Economy, the combined weight that has been stated is unusual as a carry-on item can weigh up to 8 kg. Unless it’s allowing 2 kg for the personal item but the weight is undisclosed on Turkish Airways website and should just be a small item such as a handbag or laptop.
We advise you contact Go to Gate or Turkish Airlines directly to clarify what is accurate for your ticket.
Hi, i would like ask how much extra Luggage costs. I’m flying Brussel Zaventem to Kigali Rwanda.
Hi Emma,
For that particular route, excess luggage costs 24EUR/$27 per kg.
Hi,
Thanks for your helpful information. My destination is Bangladesh which is not included as a piece concept baggage country. Can I carry a 32 kg check-in bag and 8 kg cabin bag?
Hi Sharmin,
As your destination works on the weight concept, you have a free baggage allowance of 20 kg. You could take 32 kg of luggage but you would need to pay the excess for the additional 12 kg. The cost would depend on where you are flying from and you can use the table above to calculate this.
How much do I have to pay for the extra piece baggage when I am flying from San Francisco(SFO) to Bishkek Kyrgyzstan(FRU)?
Hi Sam, as you can see in our explanation above, flights from/to San Francisco operate on the “Piece System” so an extra bag should cost you $290 to check. We say “should” because we’re not Turkish Airlines and we’re simply interpreting the information they present on their website.
If you’re at all unsure about this answer, I would suggest calling Turkish Airlines Customer Service and inquiring with them directly.
Hello!
In a week my parents are traveling from Warsaw through Istanbul to Houston. I am wondering how many pieces of baggage each of them can take. The flights were bought together.
Thank you and I am looking forward to hearing back from you.
Hi Julia, this depends entirely on which fare type they purchased. If you can tell us that, we can be of more assistance. Alternatively, their baggage allowance should be clearly listed on their confirmation e-mail/forms. 🙂
Hi Erin,
They purchased economy class tickets through Gotogate website. On their confirmations, it says that “2 baggages are allowed (23kg), carry on included”. My questions precisely are if the carry on is one of those two bags and if each bag separately is 23kg or the two together should be 23kg.
Thank you!
Hi Julia,
Flights on Turkish Airlines to/from the United States have an allowance of 2 x 23 kg checked bags for economy passengers (this is 2 separate bags up to 23 kg, not a combined weight). Your carry-on allowance is not included within this allowance so you can bring a carry-on bag weighing up to 8 kg and a small personal item (handbag or laptop bag).
Hello, I’m traveling from Kharkiv to Accra, through Istanbul. How much would I pay for an excess baggage of 32kg?
Hi Ama,
According to Turkish Airlines excess baggage fees, flights to and from Ghana are charged $250 USD for the 1st excess bag. This would be for 23 kg if you’re flying in Economy. There would be an additional $80 fee for the excess 23 – 32 kg.
Hi Erin,
I am traveling with Turkish Airlines in economy from Doha to Istanbul with luggage allowance of 30kg and a transit from Istanbul to Antalya with a luggage allowance of 15kg. Unfortunately I did not book the tickets on transit and it’s paid separately, but thinking to check the bags to their final destination (Antalya). Would I still need to pay the excess baggage of 15kg for the domestic route from Istanbul to Antalya even if I check the bags to their final destination?
Thanks
Hi Mario,
Turkish Airlines states “Passengers who land to a point between the departure airport and the arrival airport and continue their travel with the same flight number are referred to as transit passengers”. They don’t reference whether you’re able to check your bags through (without a fee) on two separately booked flights. We advise you give Turkish Airlines a call to confirm this.
Me, my wife and 3 children are traveling to islambad and stopping over in turkey for a week. We are traveling in economy class. Our tickets show baggage of 46kg. Could you kindly advise us what each of us could bring as checked luggage and carry on luggage? Checked bag sizes, please?
Hi Asif,
Each of you can bring 1 personal item, 1 carry-on bag measuring 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm, and Maximum weight for each item is 8 kg.
Adult and child passengers are also allowed to bring a maximum of 2 bags as free checked luggage with a maximum linear size of 158cm, and no more than 23 kg in weight.
Hi I’m looking to take a kite surfing board and a sup board to Cape town via Edinburgh. What would the additional costs be for each baggage? Sizes are 140cmx45cmx30 and the other is 224cmx76cmx10cm.
Hi Craig, where are you flying from?
Hello, I am planning to go for a trip from Tirana, AL to Riga, LV, which has one stop in between Istanbul, TR. So, my ticket includes free 1 luggage 20kg, 1 hand luggage. However, I am interested in buying an extra 20kg luggage online but seems I cannot do this. Anyway, I was wondering why I cannot pay online for the extra luggage? Also, what would be the price for this extra luggage referring to Economy class.
Hi Andi,
Turkish Airlines does not offer the ability to pre-pay luggage online, payment can only be made at the airport. For that route, the cost per kg is around USD $13.50 so 20 x $13.50 = $270.
I’m flying to brussel and i have a 60 inch TV I’m taking to with me. What is the cost of that and how does Turkish Airlines handle that? Thank you much!
Hi Mohamed,
We advise you contact Turkish Airlines directly to enquire about whether it’s possible to check such a large item. They will also be able to answer your questions about handling.
Hello! I’m flying from Athens to Chicago, USA, with a stopover in Turkey. I was just asking to confirm if I’m allowed two pieces of luggage at a maximum of 23 kg each?
Hi Sonny,
Yes, that is correct. You are permitted to bring two checked bags weighing up to 23 kgs each.
Please I would like to know the cost for excess luggage weighing 20kg from Lagos, Nigeria through Istanbul to Berlin, Germany with economy class.
Hi Oluwatobi,
Providing you don’t have a stopover of more than 24 hours in Istanbul, then the cost would be $200 for an extra bag weighing up to 23 kg. As that route works on the piece concept, you would have 2 x 23 kg in your free allowance and would be paying for a third bag.
Hello,
I want to know how much is one extra bag (23kg) from Riyadh, KSA through Istanbul to Belgrade, Serbia with with economy class.
Thank you
Hi Ivana,
Riyadh is region 4 and Belgrade is region 2 and excess luggage is charged at around $19.50 USD per kilogram. So 23 kg x 19.50 = $448.50 USD.
Hi! I would like to ask about baggage allowance. Because I will be travelling back to Manilla to Istanbul in business class but then my connection flight is economy class from Istanbul to Nice. Do you know how many kilos are allowed for us to check-in? Because I am confused. In business you’re allowed 40kgs but since my connection is economy would that affect my baggage allowance? Thanks!
Hi Maybe,
If you booked the route as 1 ticket and both legs of the journey are with Turkish Airlines then it is likely the Business Class baggage allowance will apply for the entire journey. But as we’re not Turkish Airlines we can’t confirm this. We advise you give Turkish Airlines a call to confirm.
Hello. I am travelling from LAX to Dubai (DXB) business class. I am also an elite member with Turkish airlines. If I have a 3rd bag how much will it cost? Can you help? It seems from your post that a 3rd free bag might be possible.
Hi David,
Turkish Airlines allows Miles&Smiles Elite and Elite Plus members to bring 1 additional piece of baggage with a maximum length of 110 cm. So you would be able to bring 3 checked bags.
Hi
I have a question about strollers. I travel August 7 from Denmark to Istanbul with my daughter of 19 months. We have an economy ticket. I really want to have her stroller with as far in as possible to the gate/street. I have heard from others that you have to take a stroller and deliver it to cabin staff and get it immediately when you have to leave the plane. I can’t see what the goals and kg must be. I have a stroller of about 10kg and the measurements folded: approx. 97 x 59.5 x 25 (LxWxH). We have no other luggage besides a stroller and small hand bag with diaper and miscellaneous for my daughter.
Hi Sibel,
According to Turkish Airlines “Strollers for infant passengers can only be transported in the cargo hold. However, infants in their strollers can be brought as far as the plane entrance, where guardians can hand over the stroller to staff. At the end of the flight, the stroller will be unloaded by our staff and given back to the guardian.”
Turkish Airlines’ website does not reference sizes for collapsible strollers. As they don’t, I’m sure your measurements would be fine, but you might want to give them a call to double check as it exceeds the normal max linear dimensions of a checked item.
Just want to know what are the charges for an extra baggage if I am flying from Toronto to Karachi. My allowance is 2 pieces of 23kg.

Hi, I am flying from Canada to India with a layover in Istanbul. It says that from Istanbul the flight will be operated by codeshare partner Indigo. Do I have to pay extra for my baggage for Indigo? I have two checked luggage for 23 kg and one carry on for 8 kg.
Hey Jaspreet, excellent question! According to Turkish Airlines’ website, your baggage will be transferred directly from Turkish to Indigo during your layover. Because of this, you will not be responsible for paying additional baggage fees. Thanks for reaching out!

I will be flying from JFK to DaresSalaam next week. I know the excess weight to 32kgs costs about $80 for one piece. Suppose I distribute the excess of 9kgs to my two checked bags amounting to 1 piece 27kgs and another 28 kgs will I still pay $80.
Hi Winnie,
Yes, you will still have to pay the excess baggage fees as both of your bags will be over the 23kg allowed.
Thanks for reading!
Hello – I am a student, travelling from India to Germany, via Istanbul. Kindly please let me know how many check-in baggages are allowed. I have 2 bags to check-in and each would have about 22-23 kg weight. If only one check-in bag is free, how much the second checkin bag would cost?
Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards
Aiman
Hi Aiman,
That route uses the weight concept with 20 kg of free luggage permitted for Economy passengers. Additional luggage is charged per kilogram and is calculated by the region of departure and region of arrival. India is region 5 and Germany is region 3, so excess baggage is charged at $27 per kilogram. If you require an additional 26 kg, then you’re looking at around $702.
What amount will I pay for 23kg in excess luggage from New York to Lagos, Nigeria?
Hi Titilayo,
Since that route works on a piece allowance, 23kg in extra luggage will cost $290.

Hi,
I am going to fly from Vietnam to Ljubljana with Turkish Airlines. For the check-in baggage, can I bring Durian and some moon cakes for my friend? Of course, I will wrap them carefully and they won’t make any smell out.
Thanks for your help
Hi An,
It its prohibited to bring items such as fruit and vegetables into an EU country from outside of the EU. For the cake, many airlines also do not allow items to be brought onboard that have a short shelf life. We recommend you contact Turkish Airlines directly to check what the policy is here.

Next month my wife and I are flying Turkish Air from San Francisco to Istanbul, laying over for the night then on to Budapest. Return flight 3 weeks later is Milan to Istanbul and San Francisco. All flights are business class. What luggage will we be allowed to check?
Can I leave our checked luggage on the SFO/IST/BUD first leg “checked”? We are laying over to meet a friend for dinner that evening, arrive ~17:00 then depart for BUD next day at 18:00. All we need for the layover is our carry-ons and would prefer not to lug around the big items.
Hi Clint,
For your flight, you and wife can each bring two checked bags weighing up to 32 kgs each since you’re flying business class.
As far as keeping your bags checked, you could certainly contact Turkish Airlines and ask if they will allow it, but traditionally most airlines do not.

Hi Paul,
This route falls under the pay per piece guidelines, you will need to pay $290 for the first and $290 for the second extra piece. The remaining four bags will be $359 per piece. This would bring your total to $2,016.
If possible, you may want to consider shipping some of those items through the mail as it may be less expensive.

Hi, i’m a seafarer and i’m traveling from Manilla to Istanbul and to Miami. My luggages are 1 x 25 and 1 x 16kg. Is that okay or are there any additional charges? Thank you.
Hi John,
We can’t find any information on special allowances for seafarers on the Turkish Airlines website so we advise you give them a call to confirm. If you booked your flights on 1 ticket then your allowance to the United States would be 2 x 23kg (flying Economy) so if they do not have any special requirements for seafarers, then you would need to distribute 2 kg of weight into your 2nd bag to avoid excess charges.
Hey, everyone! Can somebody please tell me how many kilos per piece I am allowed to carry on a flight from Sofia to Shanghai (Economy class, max baggage allowance – 40 kg)?
Hi Ina,
Unless your ticket states otherwise, most international flights have a checked baggage allowance in Economy of 20kg total (this can be split across multiple bags if you choose).
It’s written in my reservation that the maximum baggage allowance is 40 kg, so in this case I am allowed to carry (for example) one 32kg bag and one 8kg, am I right?
Hi Ina,
Turkish Airlines states that the maximum weight of any single piece of baggage is 32 kg, so you could have 1 x 32 kg and 1 x 8 kg.
Hello, I’m flying from Istanbul to NYC and my baggage allowance says 2 pieces. Would the 23kg weight allowance apply to both checked bags or to each of them? I’d be really grateful if someone could clarify if I’m allowed to carry 23kg or 46kg in total.
Hi Aleksandrina,
For flights to the United States, Turkish Airlines has a checked baggage allowance of 2 x 23 kg bags. So your total would be 46 kg but each bag must not weigh more than 23 kg.

Hi, I am traveling from London to Lagos and I have an excess bag of 32kg how much would I be charged?
Hi Thelma,
That particular route would be ‘region 4 – London’ to ‘piece region – Lagos’ so an additional 23 kg bag would cost $220. You would then also have to pay an $80 fee for the excessive weight to 32 kg. So a total of $300 for the 32 kg bag.

I am a student of Kharkov National Medical University. I will be travelling from Abuja to Kiev through Turkish Airlines and I have extra luggage of 138kg. How much will it cost me? And how do I split up the 138kg?
Hi Akinola,
Be sure to check the allowance stated on your ticket, but Turkish Airlines publishes that flights to/from Nigeria work on the piece concept with an allowance of 2 x 23 kg bags for economy passengers.
The first two extra bags would cost $195 each and any additional bags would cost $235 each. As you have 138 kg of excess luggage you would need to purchase 6 additional bags:
1st bag: $195
2nd bag: $195
3rd bag: $235
4th bag: $235
5th bag: $235
6th bag: $235
Total cost: $1330
Hi,
We are flying from TLV to Lisbon with an infant (on lap).
What baggage can we check in? Can we check in a baby car seat (I saw that we can come to the gate with stroller and then it goes to hold)? Can we check in a bag, and if yes – how much can it weigh?
Thanks
Hi Ariel,
Infant passengers are permitted to check 10 kg of luggage as well as the collapsible stroller. So you could check the car seat as part of the 10 kg infant allowance.
Thank you for the quick reply.
Can the infant also get a trolley on board?
The carry-on allowance for an infant includes baby food sufficient for the flight duration so you my struggle taking a trolley. You would need to contact Turkish Airlines with this query.

Hi Egil,

Hi Emad,
Turkish Airlines charges 10 TRY per kg for excess weight on domestic flights.
With all respect Turkish Air, this is just a shame, this website is super user-unfriendly and confusing. I am trying to find out what the baggage charge for Miami is? I searched for Miami and it shows Piece Region (no number) and now look at the table and no there is no piece region?
I am looking for my parents who are coming from Tehran to Miami. How much is extra weight if you are above 23kg?
I suggest you pay a programmer and have people select their Origin and Destination and then it will present the rules for that specific flight. Instead of a 10-page site that we have to go up and down. Not efficient.
Hi Farad,
Please be advised that were are not, and have no affiliation with, Turkish Airlines. We Upgraded Points, and educational travel website.
It seems that you may have been looking at the incorrect chart as there are two included in the post that give the prices for excess baggage. Since your parents are traveling from Tehran (Region 4) to Miami (a piece region), they will have to pay the charge for another bag if they exceed the 23kg limit. That charge for this route would be $220.

How many bags does Turkish Airlines allow?
Turkish Airlines works on a piece allowance for some international routes (list of destinations in article above) with Economy passengers allowed 2 pieces (23kg each) and Business Class allowed 2 pieces (32kg each). All other destinations work on a weight allowance where you are not restricted on number of bags, just maximum weight.

Hi, i’m traveling to Nigeria from New York and I have an extra baggage below 23kg. How much will that be and where do I pay it and do I have to pay for the extra baggage at my layover point?
Hi Martins,
The fee for the route would be $290 per 23kg bag. Turkish Airlines does not allow passengers the ability to pre-pay for excess baggage. Unfortunately, this means passengers must pay any excess baggage fees during the check-in process at the airport and you should be able to purchase excess luggage at your departure airport for the entire journey.

Dear Catherine, good day,
I’m a seafarer, and the total baggage allowance as per ticket is 40 kg, 2 Bags.
Could you please advise what is the maximum weight allowed for 1 Bag?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Roman,
If you’re traveling to a destination that uses the piece baggage concept then the maximum weight per piece would depend on your fare type – 23 kg for Economy and 32 kg for Business. IF you traveling to a weight concept route then the maximum weight per piece would be 32 kg. You can see the baggage concept definitions in the article.
I am looking to travel from Dublin to Seoul (South Korea), my free luggage is 30 kgs and please tell me hand luggage and if I wanted to take another 23kgs check in how much would that cost?
And if I was taking 32kgs extra check in how much extra would that be?
Hi Jacks,
The carry-on allowance depends on the fare type:
Economy: 1 standard carry-on bag
Business: 2 standard carry-on bags
All passengers may also bring a personal item. The standard carry-on must not exceed 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm and the maximum weight for each item is 8 kg.
For checked luggage, those destinations are region 4 and region 5, so excess luggage is charged at $30.50 per kilogram.
23 kg bag x $30.50 = $701
32 kg bag x $30.50 = $976
Hope that helps

I am traveling to Dublin from Mumbai through indigo airlines but operated by Turkish Airlines. I am on a student visa and have a checked in luggage of 30kg, cabin luggage of 8 Kg and a personal item such as laptop bag. How should I increase my bag allowance?
Right now, I am thinking of putting stuff of about 4-5kg in my laptop bag because there is no weight allowance given to it. Can I do this?
Plz help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi Neil,
This could depend on the check-in agent on the day so unfortunately we can’t advise whether this would be ok. Turkish Airlines’s information is a little ambiguous regarding the personal item so you might want to give them a call to clarify or leave a little room in your checked piece if asked to transfer some weight.
I have a doubt about the stroller, I am travelling from Manchester (UK) to Delhi (via Istanbul) on 5th Jan, I am travelling with my wife and 2.5 year old kid. The allowance on ticket mentioned that I can check-in 40kg per passenger (including my kid as well) and 8kg as carry-on baggage. Now my doubt is If I can carry my kid’s stroller as an extra or Does it count in the same 40kg?
Hi Gaurav,
I would assume that the stroller is in addition to the baggage allowance but as we’re not Turkish Airlines we can’t confirm this for you 100%. You’ll need to give the airline a call to clarify.
Hello, big thanks to you guys for this great and helpful article.
Just for more clarification please, how much is the extra luggage fee for flights from Berlin TXL – Toronto YYZ? or
Warsaw WAW – Toronto YYZ?
And what is the max. weight for extra luggage per piece?
Thanks again.
Hi Alexola20,
The maximum weight of a single piece depends on your fare type – 50 pounds (23 kg) for economy and 70 (32 kg) for business class. The excess baggage charge for Berlin to Toronto is $200 and for Warsaw to Toronto, $195.
Thanks for this information.
I am flying from Shanghai, China to Asmara, Eritrea on January 15, 2020. I have 2 pieces of luggage at 23 kg each but I also want to take one big luggage at 32 kg as extra luggage. Is it possible and how much is the fee? Please, I need information. My ticket is economy class.
Honibal,
The extra bag will be $250. Thanks for reading.
Hello,
My husband and I are traveling from Germany to Bangladesh next week. According to our tickets, we are allowed to carry 30+30=60 Kg together. Can we carry three luggage of 20+20+20 kg?
Hi Manisha,
I’m afraid it is unlikely that Turkish will allow that as each passenger can only bring 2 bags weighing up to 30 kgs combined. In the case you’ve described, either you or your husband (whoever the 2nd bag is assigned to) will be over their baggage allowance and have to pay overweight charges.
If you want to bring just 3 bags I recommend you have 30 kgs in one bag, and 15 kgs in each of the remaining two.
Thanks for reading!
Hi Jarrod,
Thank you for your response.
In our travel document, it is printed that as follows:
Passenger 1
Class = W
Free allowance = Permitted luggage 30KG
1 hand luggage 8kg (55x40x23cm)
Passenger 2
Class = W
Free allowance = Permitted luggage 30KG
1 hand luggage 8kg (55x40x23cm)
Therefore, combinedly we are permitted to carry 60kg luggage. We are family and will be traveling together. Our point is that two baggage each weighing 30kg is a bit difficult to handle. Instead, it would be easier to handle if we can divide the total of 60 kg into three baggage, for example, 20+20+20kg or 22+20+18Kg.
Can you please confirm us whether we are allowed to do so?
Hi Manisha,
I cannot say definitely as we do not represent, or have any affiliation with Turkish Airlines. We are Upgraded Points, and educational travel website that teaches readers how to utilize points and miles to make their travel more affordable.
Based on the terms stated on the Turkish Airlines website, I think it is unlikely they will allow this. However, for an exact answer to your question, I recommend you contact the Turkish Airlines customer service team directly.
Hello,
We are traveling from Tirana to Luxembourg (a family of 2 adults and 2 kids) and we would like to bring 2 additional suitcases up to 20kg each in addition to our allowed ones. So, in total it will be 4 x 20kg suitcases included in the ticket price + 2 x 20kg in addition more:
1- how much should we pay extra?
2- can we purchase them online or do we have to pay for them at the airport?
thanks
Hi Ana,
For that route, additional weight would be charged at $13.50 per kilogram, so an additional 40 kgs would cost $540.
I’m traveling from Port Harcourt, Nigeria to JFK New York in economy class. What is my maximum excess luggage and how much will it cost? Can I pay the excess luggage fee online prior to my traveling date?
Hi Obinna,
For this route, you should be permitted to bring 1 personal item, 1 carry-on item, and 2 checked bags weighing up to 23 kgs each. As far as excess baggage goes you can bring as much as you’d like keeping in mind that your 1st and 2nd extra bag will be $290 each, and a further $359 for each bag after that.

Hi Zhou,
Yes, you should be able to bring 2 checked bags as long as their combined weight is under 30kgs.
Thanks for reading!
Hi everyone.
I have a quick question regarding extra carry-on luggages. I am flying from Chicago to Chisinau with Economy. I might need to get a second carry-on luggage (check-in is not an option, it’s very fragile stuff).
What would be the cost for a second carry-on luggage?
Thank you!
Hi Erica,
Unfortunately it’s not possible to purchase additional carry-on luggage with most airlines, including Turkish Airlines. This is usually due to capacity in the overhead lockers and passenger safety. Your only option would be to purchase checked luggage.
My son is returning to New Delhi from U.S. (SFO) after his studies. He has 5 suitcases in total.
2 of them can come as free baggage allowance. What would be the cost for additional 3 suitcases? Considering 2 of them would be around 30 kgs and 1 of 23 kgs……pls advise
Hi Vikas,
An additional 23 kg bag would cost $250. Turkish Airlines then charges an $80 for any pieces exceeding 23 kg. 3 x $250 + 2 x $80 so the total cost would be $910.
Hi, I have travel from US to Erbil and I have just one bag but I also have a gift box (3ft 125cm x 4ft 120cm) 25 pounds…how will the airline deal with the box please?
Hi Max,
Traveling from the United States, your baggage allowance should be 2 x 50 pound bags. As the box is large it is likely that you’ll be charged an oversized fee, but you’ll need to contact the airline for information as they don’t disclose this on their website.

Hi,
I am travelling from Toronto to Karachi. My booking agent told me he is putting a special cooperate code on my ticket and I can carry 2 pieces of 32 kg each in my luggage.
I just wanted to confirm if this this is true.

Please be aware that we are not Turkish Airlines, we are UpgradedPoints.com. You will need to contact the airline directly with your query.
Hi,
I am flying from London to Egypt via Istanbul on an economy class, I want to take my printer with me and it’s a box of approx 10 KG but won’t fit in my bag. Can you please advise me how will I be charged for it?
Thank you in advance,
S.
Hi S,
If you’re flying in economy class then your baggage allowance for this route should be 20 kg of checked luggage. If the box does not exceed max linear dimensions of 62 inches (158 cm) then it should be fine as checked luggage. You would then have 10 kg left to use for any personal checked luggage.
Many Thanks Catherine, I appreciate your help.

Hey I’m travelling from Lahore to Istanbul and then to Luxembourg. I am allowed 30kg weight. Can I split the weight between 2 bags. Is that okay if the total weight is under 30kgs.
Thanks
Hi Minahil,
Yes, you can separate it into two bags as long as the total weight is under 30kgs.

Perfect. Thank you so much for the prompt response.
Hello! Can somebody tell my how much I will be charged per kg for extra luggage from Manila to Turkey. Thank you,

My flight is Manila-Turkey- Romania. Maybe can be helpful, I am confused with the tables provide above.
Thank you very mach,
Denisa
Hi Denisa,
In that case it would be around $22.50 per kilogram.
Hi Denisa,
Manila is zone 5, so Turkish Airlines would charge around $18 per additional kilogram.
Hi..
I am travelling from Dublin to Malaysia. My ticket says that I am allowed 30kg baggage allowance, can I divide my weight into 2 bags (rather than having 30kg in one, can I make 2 x 15kgs bag? Please help me. Thank you 😊
Hi Reena,
As that route works on a weight allowance, Turkish airlines permits passengers to split the weight allowance across multiple pieces. So 2 x 15kg bags would be fine.
I’m going to Bangladesh from Toronto. I’m taking a carry-on and 2 checked bags for cargo, one bag is about 65 LBS and the other is about 40 LBS how much will the cost be for the overweight bag? I’m in coach and my stopover is in Turkey for almost 4 hours.
Hi Christal,
Since you’re traveling from a region 5 city to a piece region city, the cost for your extra bag should be $250, plus an additional charge of $80 for being overweight, for a total of $330.
Thanks for reading!
I’m moving from the UK to Egypt with 9 pieces of baggage. Can you let me know the maximum weight and quantity that I’m allowed to pass through the airport without additional fees to my ticket?
Hi Mohamed,
Turkish Airlines allows each passenger to carry 1 personal item, 1 carry-on bag, and as many checked bags as you’d like as long as the combined weight does not exceed 20kgs. After that, you should need to pay $19.50 per extra kilo you bring.
Safe travels!
Hello,
Returning from New York to Turkey, I will have an additional baggage weighing up to 23 kg, within the boundaries. What I am confused about is that, for NY being in Region 1, 190 USD is asked for 1 extra baggage, but there is also the notice above saying “Where the maximum baggage weight is 50 pounds (23 kg) for an economy passenger, a fee of $80 will be applied for passengers with a piece weighing 50-70 pounds (23-32 kg).” So am I going to pay 80 USD for 1 extra baggage or 190 USD? And can I not do it at the airport during check in?
Thank you
Hi Burcu,
As you’ll be checking an additional piece of luggage, you will be charged $190. The $80 fee is if one of your pieces within the allowance weighs 50-70 pounds (23-32 kg).
I’m leaving to go to Istanbul. Is carry on bags subject to fee since they will not let in inside the airplane. I have one carry on and 2 suitcase. Thank you for your time.
Hi Yildiz,
No, your carry-on bag should still be free of charge.
Hello, We are flying from Washington DC – Istanbul – Nur Sultan. One adult, two children, one infant – how many free bags can we carry with us? Thanks
Hi Aldan,
You should be able to bring 1 personal item, 1 carry-on bag, and 1 checked bag for you and your two children. As for your infant, you should be able to bring 10kg of checked baggage, along with a stroller which can be checked free of charge.
Thanks for reading!
Hello Jarrod,
I read one of the answers you provided above to a gentleman who was traveling from USA to Pakistan on Turkish Airline regarding excess baggage. You stated an extra checked bag would cost $250. Is that still accurate? I am checking now via the baggage calculator on their website and it shows me $295.
Can you please confirm?
Also, can you please confirm what will be the weight allowance for that extra checked bag?
Just to reiterate – this is for 1 adult passenger in Economy class traveling from San Francisco to Karachi.
Hi Yousuf,
If the Turkish Airlines baggage calculator is indicating that you’ll need to pay $295 then that should be correct. We do not represent Turkish Airlines, so any information received directly from their customer service reps or their website should be the most updated figure.
Safe travels!
I am flying a dog in a crate AVIH Istanbul to Jeddah. The total weight is 20kg and dimensions total 202cm. I have no other luggage to check and an economy ticket allows me 30kg. Do I have to pay a single fee for oversize or per kilo for 20kg even though I’m not using my standard checked allowance?
Hi James,
Since the total weight is 20kg, which is within the allowable weight, you should not need to pay any fees per kilogram. But since the carrier dimensions are 202cm, it might be categorized as an oversized item and be charged an oversized fee. Turkish Airlines does not disclose the charge on its website, so you would need to give the airline a call to determine this.
I’m flying from Budapest, Hungary to Khartoum, Sudan. Budapest is on the “weight” list (Region 2) but Sudan is on the “per piece” list. Which list applies when calculating excess baggage fee from Budapest to Khartoum?
Also, excess luggage cannot be added online (I keep getting an error message with the note to go to the sales office – which are all closed now). The customer rep. on the phone said it costs the same to pay for excess luggage upon check-in than it does online prior to the flight. Can someone confirm that? Purchasing excess luggage prior to the flight has ALWAYS been cheaper compared to buying it at the check-in counter! This is so frustrating! Can someone help clear things up?
Hi DT,
Since you’re flying to Sudan, the baggage charges should be applied at the piece rate. If the online portal is not working, and the phone rep is telling you the price will be the same as the airport then I would imagine that is correct. Turkish Airlines makes no mention on the excess baggage section of its website that extra fees apply for purchasing at the airport.
Safe travels!
Hello,
My husband will be flying from Accra, Ghana to Vancouver, Canada. He has 2 pieces of luggage each 23 kg and he will need to carry a third piece of luggage. How much will the third piece of luggage cost? And will he pay at the airport counter?
Hi Jen,
Since both Accra and Canada are categorized as piece regions, the charge for an extra bag should be $290. Your husband can be the fee at the airport or he can pre-pay for excess baggage by logging in to his booking on the Turkish Airlines website or the app.
I am flying from Oslo to Islamabad. I was just confused about my baggage allowance. It mentions on the Turkish airlines’ website that I am allowed to bring 30kg baggage. Can I divide 30 kg into two separate bags? Like 20 kg in one bag and 10kg in the other.
Hi Jaweria,
Yes, there does not appear to be any restrictions in terms of the number of pieces. So splitting the allowance into two bags should be fine.
I am planning to travel from the Uk to Iraq. Do I need a negative COVID-19 PCR certificate before boarding?

Actually, I will be traveling from San Francisco to Tehran with a connection in Istanbul and that would be a one way flight.

I found this page after a long search through TL official website. They keep referring to the Baggage calculator which is not working properly – in case there is a need to know the price for an extra piece of luggage or more pieces – for a given route.
I had 2 questions for you.
1. How do you manage to get the info for all the routes being requested here.
2. Which would be a rate for excess luggage for route Baku->Istanbul->Moscow. Assuming I will have a few extra pieces except checked-in luggage.
Hi Andrey,
All of the information for our post was gathered from the Turkish Airlines website. As for your routing, since you’re traveling between two Region 3 destinations, you should be charged $18 per kilogram in extra baggage.

Thank you! And if I also have a 55x55x5 cm photo lamp. How can I transport that and what are the charges?
Hi Elena,

And by the way, that 1 checked bag, is it 20 or 23 or 30 kg?
Hi Elena,
The allowance should be 23 kilograms.

I am traveling from Konya to London Gatwick. I have an allowance of 1 x 20kg in the hold. I would like to purchase an additional 25kg. My surmise from your useful article is that I can spread this over 2 bags at 22 & 23 kg without risk as I am not restricted by the number of pieces. Is that so?
Hi Tahir,
Yes, that is correct. For this route, there should be no restrictions on the number of pieces as long as you’re under the weight allowance.
Perfect. Obliged
I’m traveling from New York to Albania and I have extra luggage of 35 KG. What would this cost?

Hi Alessandra,
Yes, your hand luggage is supposed to be weighed.
We are planning to fly from Istanbul to Konya and have one 8 kg carry on and one checked bag of 23 kg. Do domestic flights charge for this luggage?
Hi Sabia,
You should not be charged for these bags, but your checked luggage might be overweight depending on which ticket type you’ve purchased.
Here are the allowances:
EcoFly: 33 pounds (15 kg)
ExtraFly: 44 pounds (20 kg)
PrimeFly: 55 pounds (25 kg)
I am flying from London. Do I need to obtain a COVID test certificate?
Hi Sabia,
Where will you be flying to?
I’m flying to Amsterdam from Mexico (via Istanbul) with Turkish Airlines early next year. My luggage allowance is 2x 23kg, but I want to change that to 1x 32kg and 1x 23kg. Is this possible? The only thing I could find is the option for a third suitcase (not stated a weight max) at the cost of almost £150.
If the extra suitcase is the only option, what would be the weight limit of that?
Thanks so much, in advance.
Hi Marie,
It might be possible, but you would need to contact the Turkish Airlines customer service team for assistance with this. Their number is 1 (800) 874-8875.

I am traveling in economy to Nigeria using Turkish Airlines. Do I get two 23kg checked bags, one 8kg cabin bag (which would also be checked), and still be able to go on the plane with my normal ladies handbag?
Would this be correct?
Hi Akin,
Yes, this is correct as your handbag will count as a personal item, which is separate from your luggage allowance.
Thank you for your response, Jarrod!
Could you tell me about the baggage measurements? I read that it has to be linear measurements of 158cm. Is this a total measurement for the two 23kg bags OR each of the two 23kg bag measurement can be 158cm? Thanks!
(L+W+H)
Bag 1 – 75 +47+31 =153
Bag 2 – 65 +43 +28 =136
Hi Akin,
An individual piece must not exceed 158cm, so the sizes of your pieces would be fine.
You are doing a great job by helping people here with your answers.
I will be traveling from Sofia to San Francisco with a layover in Istanbul in Economy class. Therefore, my luggage allowance should be 2x 23kg., 1 personal item and 1 carry-on item.
I’m researching the options for increasing the weight of my suitcases and what price this will cost me.
What will be cheaper – to increase the weight of the 2 allowed luggage pieces (from 2x 23kg to 2x 32kg. max) or to purchase one extra?
Additionally, what they will charge me if just one of the bags is overweight by about 8-9 kg?
Thanks a lot!
Hi Koko,
Since you’re traveling to a piece region, you should be charged $190 for an extra piece of luggage up to 23 kilograms – even if it weighs less.
Safe travels!
Thanks, Jarrod.
Does this mean that even if I show up with my “2 x 23kg” bags at the airport and by chance one of them weighs 26 kg, for example, they are going to charge me the full amount of $ 190 for an additional piece?
If so, it would be better just to bring an additional third bag x 23 kg. and pay the $190 for the full weight of the bag.
Hi Koko,
Yes, that is correct. In that case, it would be best to just bring a full additional bag to get your money’s worth.
One more thing that is unclear to me, since I will be flying to Monterey, CA, through San Francisco as a final destination, since the last flight is on the next day. As far as I know, once I’ve arrived in the US, you have to take all of your bags with you after customs and register/put them back for your local flight. If I decide to bring one additional bag – will I be charged once again as an extra bag on the local US flight?
Hi Koko,
As long as your entire booking was made with the same carrier, you should not be charged any additional baggage fees for your last flight segment within the U.S. Safe travels!
Hi.
I am traveling from Hamburg Germany to Alexandria Egypt on Turkish Airlines.
On my ticket, it says that I have 30 kg. Is this one piece of luggage only or can I take two that don’t exceed the 30 KG?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ahmed,
The 30 kg can split between multiple pieces of luggage.
Hi. I’m new here, I’m coming to Turkey to buy a lot of clothes and shoes worth $10,700. If all these weigh about 150KG, will I be able to take them along with me and what’s the price? Please help me out as I’m really new to this. I’m traveling from Istanbul Turkey to Lagos, Nigeria.
Hi Ishola,
That route should work on the piece concept, with economy allowing 2 x 23 kg bags within the ticket. You would need around 5 additional bags, which would cost 6,619.64 TRY (around $900). You can use the baggage calculator on the Turkish Airlines website to check: https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-int/any-questions/free-baggage/baggage-calculator/
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Hi,
I am traveling from San Jose -> Los Angeles, Los Angeles -> Istanbul, Istanbul -> Almaty. And I’d like to take a 43′ TV with me and the weight is less than 10 kg. Does it meet the requirements of one of the 2 checked luggage or would I have to pay extra fees for that? Could you please also let me know if the size of TV is good enough for the luggage policy? Thanks
Hi Bakytzhan,
You’ll need to contact Turkish Airlines to inquire about transporting a TV as the airline doesn’t publish its policy online.

Hello
I am flying from Dammam (Saudi Arabia) to Arlanda (Stockholm). I have 2 checked bags, only 1 bag is free. Could you please advise how much I have to pay for the second one if the weight is 23 kg?
Hi Tarek,
For that route, excess luggage is charged at $25 per kilogram, so an additional 23 kgs would cost $575.
Hi,
I am travelling from Stockholm to Beirut and I have allowance for a luggage of 30Kg and a cabin baggage. But I have another 30Kg bag that I want to take with me. How much will that cost and how can I add that to the ticket because I can see that we add only Kgs.
Thanks.
Hi Fatima,
Turkish Airlines does allow passengers the ability to pre-pay for excess baggage. This can be done by logging in to your booking on the Turkish Airlines website or the app.
As your route works on a weight allowance, you would just need to add an additional 30 kg to your booking.
Thanks, Catherine for your reply. So, if I understand correctly it can be done only by adding how many Kgs I want (which will be 510 euros for extra 30Kg!!) and there is no option for a 30Kg additional bag. Is this right?!
Also, I want to know if I have 30Kg luggage free of charge (economy ticket), can I divide things into two bags where there sum weights 30Kg or it is restricted to one bag.
Thanks a lot,
Fatima
Hi Fatima,
Yes, that’s correct. As your route uses the weight concept, you need to purchase additional kilograms rather than having a price for a single piece of luggage. For the luggage included with your ticket, you would be able to divide the 30 kg across 2 bags.
Hello! I am flying from the Manila, Philippines to Warsaw, Poland. My baggage allowance is 20kg, is there a possible way to buy an extra baggage allowance before my flight? How much would it cost me?
Hi Maki,
Turkish Airlines does allow passengers the ability to pre-pay for excess baggage. This can be done by logging in to your booking on the Turkish Airlines website or via the app. The cost of your excess luggage would depend on how much additional weight you would require. Each additional kilogram is charged at $27 for your route. You can use the Turkish Airlines baggage calculator.
Hi
I am traveling from Islamabad to Copenhagen. How many bags am I allowed to check-in?
Hi Halima,
It’s best to check your ticket information, which should confirm your baggage allowance, but that route should allow 20 kg of luggage for economy that can be divided across multiple bags.
Is that possible to take a 49-inch tv as check in?
Hi Elias,
The maximum linear dimensions for a piece of checked luggage is 158cm and a 49 inch TV would exceed this. As Turkish Airlines does not publish any information on oversized luggage we advise you to contact the airline to query what the charges would be.

Hi Christabel,
Turkish Airlines’ carry-on allowance is 1 personal item and 1 standard carry-on bag. The size and weight restrictions for the carry-on are 21.6 x 15.7 x 9 inches and 17.6 pounds. The airline does not disclose the size restrictions for the personal item.
The checked allowance for that route is 2 x 50 lb bags. If you have any additional items that exceed the checked or carry-on allowance, you’ll be subject to excess luggage charges of $220 per additional piece.
Hello,
Just wanted to ask if we are allowed free checked baggage? I’m traveling multi-city from Vilnius to Washington staying in Istanbul for 3 weeks. Checked on their website it says I can have 1x30kg checked, 1x8kg carry on, and 1 personal item. But still want to be sure that it is correct.
Hi Tomas,
You’ll need to check the allowance on your ticket or get in touch with Turkish Airlines to confirm your free allowance. With your final destination being in the U.S., this route uses the piece allowance (2 x 23 kg bags), but with your long stay in Istanbul, we can’t confirm whether you would be allocated baggage based on the piece or weight allowance.

Hi Catherine, I am traveling from Toronto to Turkey and from Turkey to Tehran. I am planning to transport a snowboarding bag with me. I have checked the policy for sport equipment and it was mentioned that the first time is free of charge. Is that true or there is hidden fees or I got it wrong. If it’s my first time transporting sport equipment do I just need to reserve and declare for my package?
Thanks in advance
Hi Mona,
When Turkish Airlines refers to the ‘first’ being free, it means the first set of equipment. For example, if you packed 2 snowboards into your snowboarding bag, you would be charged for the 2nd piece of equipment. For international flights, you can take a snowboarding bag with 1 set of skis or 1 snowboard, 1 helmet, and 1 pair of boots for free. The weight of the bag must not exceed 23 kg.

Hi,
I am looking to fly from London Heathrow to Tbilisi in August. I would like to check 2 bags. Could you tell me how much this would cost? Thanks!
Also, do you know how I can add this extra bag? When I select the tickets through the website, it does not offer an option for an extra bag. Is this something that I would have to do once the flight is booked and paid for? Thanks
Hi Chris,
Extra baggage for this route is charged at the rate of $19.50 per kg. If the website is not giving you the option you could call the customer service team for assistance with this, or you could pay at the airport.
(This is a very helpful website. I will definitely get your book!)
I am flying from Podgorica (TGD), connecting in IST, to Washington IAD. Based on your other comments it would seem that I can bring a 23kg bag. But on the “manage my booking” part of the airline’s website it doesn’t say anything about any checked bags. Only:
Carry-on baggage allowance
All passengers
8 kg 1 piece + 1 personal item
Maximum weight of an item of cabin baggage: 8kg Maximum dimensions for an item of cabin baggage: 55x40x23 cm
But in addition, I should be able to check a regular roller bag, too, right?
Thank you!
Hi Rob,
Thanks for the kind words! If you are flying to the U.S. then yes, you should be able to bring 2 pieces of checked luggage weighing up to 23 kg each.

Thank you for your prompt response. However, my doubts are not completely cleared as I wish to know the maximum kgs per extra piece I can carry.
Hi Catherine,
Each extra piece of luggage you bring can weigh up to 23 kgs, just like your first checked bag. I hope that helps!
My question relates to a package exceeding the weight limit.
I have no luggage to check in, only a box with a weight of 34-35 kg.
What are my options in order to proceed?
My flight is an international flight from Tehran-Istanbul-Vancouver.
Thank you
