About luggage
The main principle to pack is ensuring your luggage light. Please keep in mind that the weight of the check-in luggage is regulated as follow:
- To the traveler with fist class ticket, the maximum weight of luggage is 40 kilometers (88 pounds) per person
- To the traveler with business class ticket, the maximum weight of luggage is 30 kilograms (66pounds) per person
- To the traveler with economy class ticket, the maximum weight of luggage is 20 kilograms (44 pounds) per person
We suggest your single check in bag should not have dimensions exceeding 76 x 46 x 26 cm (or 30 x 18 x 10 inches). A penalty from airlines might apply for check-in bag weight exceeding the above ones. Please note that airlines have restrictions on the size of the hand carry luggage, the total dimensions are measured by adding together the depth, height and length of the bag, which is:
115cm = 56cm (L) + 36cm (H) + 23cm (D)
Note: the above regulations mainly apply to domestic flights. Those of the international flights vary from airlines to airlines. These are usually endorsed on the air ticket.
