Emirates Baggage Allowance

On US routes, Economy Special includes one checked bag up to 23 kg (50 lb) and the higher Economy fares (Saver, Flex, Flex Plus) include two bags at 23 kg each. You also get one cabin bag up to 7 kg. On non-US routes Emirates uses the weight concept, where Economy gets a total of 20 to 35 kg depending on fare.

US flights run on the piece concept. Economy Special gets one free bag, all other Economy fares and Premium Economy get two, and Business and First get two bags each. Economy and Premium Economy bags cap at 23 kg (50 lb); Business and First cap at 32 kg (70 lb).

Not on most US routes. Economy Saver, Flex, and Flex Plus, plus Premium Economy, Business, and First, all include two free checked bags. Only the lowest Economy Special fare is limited to one free bag, so a second bag on that fare costs an extra-piece charge.

On piece concept routes an extra bag starts around $200 when bought online and about $250 at the airport, though the exact rate depends on your route. On weight concept routes you pay per kilo over your allowance. Buying through Manage Your Booking before departure is cheaper.

Yes. On weight concept routes, Silver members get +12 kg, Gold +20 kg, and Platinum +32 kg on top of the ticketed allowance. On piece concept routes, Gold and Platinum members get one extra checked piece. The bonus applies to the member's own ticket.

Add bags during checkout on MundoTrip, or after booking through Manage Your Booking on emirates.com using your last name and booking reference. Online pre-pay closes a few hours before departure and costs less than the airport counter rate.

Yes. Golf clubs, skis, snowboards, bikes, and dive gear all travel as checked baggage and count toward your free piece or weight allowance. If the item pushes you over the limit, standard excess charges apply. Pack each item in a hard or padded case.

7 kg (15 lb) in Economy and 10 kg (22 lb) in Premium Economy for a single cabin bag. Business and First passengers may carry two pieces at 7 kg each, for 14 kg total. Cabin bags are weighed at check-in, so a bag that is a kilo or two over can be flagged.

Your cabin bag can be up to 22 x 15 x 8 inches (55 x 38 x 22 cm) including handles and wheels, and weigh no more than 7 kg (15 lb) in Economy or 10 kg (22 lb) in Premium Economy. Emirates weighs cabin bags at check-in, so this limit is enforced.

On US piece concept routes, each Economy or Premium Economy bag is limited to 23 kg (50 lb) and each Business or First bag to 32 kg (70 lb). On every Emirates flight, no single bag may exceed 32 kg. Bags heavier than that are refused until you split them into two.

Weight concept gives you one total kilo allowance you can spread across any number of bags, with a 32 kg cap per bag. Piece concept gives you a set number of bags, each with its own weight limit. US and Americas flights use piece concept; most other routes use weight concept.

No. Economy and Premium Economy passengers get one cabin bag only, with no separate personal item. Your laptop or purse has to go inside that bag. Business and First passengers are the exception and may add a briefcase or handbag alongside the main carry-on.

Business passengers on US routes get two checked bags at 32 kg (70 lb) each, plus a cabin bag and a briefcase or handbag in the cabin (7 kg per piece, 14 kg total). On weight concept routes the checked allowance is 40 kg total, split across any number of bags.

Yes, in your carry-on only. Power banks and spare lithium batteries up to 100 Wh are allowed in the cabin and banned from checked bags. You cannot use or charge a power bank during the flight, and hoverboards are not accepted in any baggage.

Emirates will not accept any single checked bag over 32 kg (70 lb). You will be asked to open it and move items into a second bag at the counter. To avoid the delay, weigh each bag at home and keep it under 32 kg, ideally under your fare's per-bag limit.

Yes. Infants travel with a checked allowance that varies by route, plus a fully collapsible stroller or carrycot carried free of charge. On piece concept routes the infant is usually allowed one cabin bag up to 5 kg. Check your specific ticket in Manage Your Booking.
