Admin Reply :

You can take one bag of upto 30 kg weight. No issues. Do not worry about 23kg weight as it does not apply to your route. It applies to US or Canada routes

I am boarding my flight on 10th Aug from mumbai and will be having a two stop to reach skyharbor phoenix airport. I have realized that I will be definately exceeding the weight limit for check in bags. As well as I have an extra luggage bag. I have a total of around 90kg in check in and 10kg in carry on bags. I have booked an economy seat from mumbai to Istanbul to JFK and finally landing at phoenix Arizona. How much approximately do I need to pay for the extra luggage per kg? And can I slightly exceed the weight limit for the carry on bag? Thanks

Admin Reply :

First, you shall not exceed the baggage allowance either of check in baggage or the cabin baggage. If you do, it is an earning opportunity for the airline.

Second, with respect to your allowance, are all flight sectors being flown by Turkish airline? If yes, then your allowance is 2 bags of 23 kg each in check in and 1 bag of 8 kg in cabin. If you are taking 90 kg in checkin, then there is an excess of 44 kgs in check in which means that you have to take two additional bags of about 23 kg each. This shall be about USD 200 per additional bag of upto 23 kg each.

It is suggested to take medicine in cabin bag if this is required during the fight. Else, it is better to check in all of these with proper seal. If perfume is very expensive, it can be taken in cabin but the limit of 100ml applies.

Hi, in my last question you answered I have to take all my laptops in cabin ( I'm travelling from Uk to Bangladesh by Turkish Airlines). I called their customer service and they said, I can only take 1 laptop in carry on and the other two must go in my checked baggage. I'm little confused here, as their website mentions I can take 2 laptops in carry on. I have spoken to two different agents on two different days, and both of them told me different things.

Please i need a help: i am travelling with my wife from Izmir to Tunisia but we have i different tickets. I have 30kg of luggage and she have 40kg?? we got confusion on how we share those KGs?? how much Kg for each bag??

Admin Reply :

For international flights, the free check in baggage allowance is of 20kg per person for economy class travellers. Cabin baggage allowance is 1 cabin bag of 8 kg. So, for the rest, the excess baggage fee is to be paid.

Check in baggage of 40 kg needs to be divided into two bags as one check in bag can not be more than 32 kg weight.

hi, I'm flying from Beijing China to Tirana Albania(one stop Istambul). My ticket says I have a 40kg allowence. I want to take a check inluggage , carry on(cabin ) and a small backpack (personal bag). Is that possible and how many kg per each is allowed? also if my luggage is in excess where and how do I pay for the exess? confused..Tanks in advance

Admin Reply :

Taking a cabin bag along with a backpack would be counted as two cabin baggage items which might not be allowed by the airline. 

Cabin baggage shall not be more than 8 kg. A single check in bag shall not be more than 32 kg in weight. So, if you are allowed 40 kg, then it has to be in 2 check in bags.

Excess luggage can be bought at the airport.
