Emirates Airlines – Excess baggage allowance: Fees and Policy 2021
Tumblr media
Planning the journey back to your home after a luxurious stay in Dubai or the beautiful sightseeing in the Alps? Of course, you will be overloaded with special local gifts for your loved ones back at home. With every additional item, the space to accommodate increases, and so does your baggage! And with that excess luggage of overcoats or special woollens or just fancy gifts, one is pushed to think about the options of opting for excess baggage allowance with either the airlines directly or an excess baggage relocation company that offers you the service without you getting involved and spoiling your return journey over the entire planning of transfer.
Emirates Airlines, founded in March 1985, is one of the most prominent airlines and the largest in the Middle East. With its headquarters in Dubai, Emirates operates in more than 150 cities of 80 countries via its fleet of approximately 300 aircraft. Until July 2020, the airlines operate a fleet of 252 passenger flights and 11 cargo aircraft that are operated under Emirates SkyCargo. Best known for its world-class service within a short period, Emirates Airlines is one such airline that can be looked at for a seamless, timely, and convenient excess baggage transfer. So, before you book that air ticket with Emirates Airlines or plan to get in touch with an excess baggage transfer company, here is what you need to know about the airlines’ policies and fees to plan better.
A sneak peek into Emirates Airlines Baggage allowance
Emirates airlines are pretty reasonable when it comes to the carry-on baggage allowance, while in the case of standard/checked baggage allowance, it majorly depends on your travel class, fare type, the destination you are flying to, and what type of Emirates Skywards membership you have.
Checked Baggage allowance and fees
All Emirates Airlines allow some amount of checked luggage at no additional cost, which is based on either the total weight of your luggage or pieces of luggage you have. This concept is called the weight/piece concept where the weight concept applies to most of the routes while the piece concept applies on flights to and from the Americas and originating from Africa.
Allowance based on Weight Concept:
You can check in as many bags based on your travel class, limiting each bag to a weight of 32 kg and its total dimensions (length + width + height) up to 300 cm (118 inches).
Please Note: Weight concept is applicable if your trip from Australia, New Zealand, Asia, or the Americas includes a layover in Dubai for more than 24 hours or in Europe or Africa.
