Checked Baggage
Important Changes to your Checked Baggage Allowance
From 1 December 2008, we are introducing a new checked baggage allowance that makes it easier when you travel with Qantas. The new allowances apply to any tickets purchased from 1 December 2008 for travel from 1 March 2009.
Note: If you have already purchased your ticket and are travelling between 1 December 2008 and 28 February 2009 inclusive, the new baggage policy will not apply. The current checked baggage policy applies to these tickets.
New Checked Baggage Allowance
We have aligned our Domestic and International checked baggage allowances using a weight system. So, if you're travelling in Economy on a domestic or international flight with Qantas you will now have a maximum free baggage allowance of up to 23kg (50lb).
For more information please refer to the New Checked Baggage Allowance table below.
Additional Collection
Additional Collection rates have also been simplified. Charges will apply per kilogram (2.2lb) for any total baggage weights exceeding the 23kg (50lb) allowance to a maximum of 32kg (70lb) per piece.
