The Most Significant Carrier Rule of IATA
February 21, 2015
For the carriers which partner with each other on the basis of codeshare or interline agreements, the baggage allowance rules depend on which of the carriers involved in the Most Significant Carrier (MSC). For the identification of MSC, IATA has divided the world into Areas and Subareas. This division is presented below:
| IATA Area | IATA Sub Area |
| North America, Central and South America, Hawaii | USA, Canada, Mexico |
| Caribbean | |
| Central America | |
| South America | |
| Europe, Middle East | Europe |
| Middle East | |
| Africa | |
| Asia, Guam, Southwest Pacific | Japan, Korea |
| Southeast Asia | |
| South Asian Subcontinent | |
| Southwest Pacific |
MSC will be the one which is the first carrier flying between two areas, or, subareas, or, first to cross international borders within a subarea.
But this rule does not apply to flights to/from/through USA or Canada. In this case, the baggage allowance of the marketing airline will be applicable. This is the airline which is listed at first in the ticket.

Posted on May 13, 2017We have 15 days’ Europe tour programme starting from Kolkata International Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Airport (CCU) to London via DOHA by Qatar Airways. The journey will begin on 21-05-17 and return journey is on 04-06-17 from Rome to Kolkata (CCU). Our travel Agent is THOMAS COOK who has arranged everything wright from VISA, purchase of Air ticket, Hotel booking, 3 meals everyday including breakfast and other complete expenses except personal purchases.
