How many kg is the Emirates allowance?
Embarking on a journey with Emirates Flights UK and other destinations also involves understanding the baggage allowance policies that come with it. While the exact baggage allowance for your travel depends upon the fare class, ticket type, travel route, and aircraft configuration, Emirates Airlines usually offers two main concepts for baggage allowances. Namely;
- The weight concept rule.
- The piece concept rule.
Here’s everything you need to know about both of these allowances.
The Weight Concept rule:
The weight concept rule states that you can only bring a certain weight of baggage i.e., check-in baggage as well as carry-on luggage combined, and it doesn’t have to do anything with the number of bags. In other words, you can check-in as many bags as you want to but it shouldn’t exceed the specified weight limit.
1. Economy Class:
Carry-On Baggage.
Economy Class passengers are allowed one piece of carry-on baggage with a maximum weight of 7 kilograms (about 15 pounds). This item should hold essentials for your journey and fit in the overhead bin or under your seat.
