What is the maximum baggage size and weight?
Types of Baggage
When traveling, there are two types of baggage you can take: checked-in baggage, which is transported in the baggage section of the plane, and cabin baggage, which a passenger can take onboard.
IATA Recommendations
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) provides the following guidelines to airlines. These recommendations can help you understand the general standards for baggage.
Cabin Baggage
IATA suggests that carry-on or cabin baggage should not exceed the following dimensions: 22 inches (56 cm) in length, 18 inches (45 cm) in width, and 10 inches (25 cm) in depth. However, these dimensions may vary depending on the aircraft and airline policy. For more details on IATA regulations, you can visit their website. While IATA provides general guidelines, we strongly recommend checking your airline’s website before your flight to confirm the allowed size, weight, and items for both cabin and checked-in baggage.
Checked-in Baggage
According to international regulations aimed at protecting airport workers' health and safety, checked-in baggage should not exceed 23 kilograms. Depending on the airline, the maximum weight per bag can range between 20 and 23 kilograms. To find the precise weight limit for your flight, please check your airline’s website or contact support via chat or at support@cteleport.com. Additionally, most airlines allow registering heavy baggage (23 to 32 kilograms) for an extra fee.
Public Tickets
Baggage allowance for public tickets varies significantly, ranging from no allowance to a generous amount, depending on the airline. If your ticket does not include enough baggage, you can find instructions on how to add more baggage here.
Marine Fares
Marine fares typically offer extended baggage allowances, usually allowing 2 pieces of baggage or a total weight of 35-40 kg. However, since the final decision on baggage allowance rests with the airline, we strongly recommend checking the specific baggage allowance for each ticket. Even with marine fares, the allowance can sometimes be as low as 30 kg, 20 kg, or even 0 kg.
Always verify the baggage allowance for your specific ticket with the airline to avoid any surprises.
