How many kilograms can an economy class passenger carry in a carry-on bag, and how many kilograms can be checked in?

Checked baggage on international routes is divided into two regulations: weight-based system and piece-based system.

When traveling between IATA Zones 1 and 3, a piece-rate system is adopted, which stipulates that F/C class passengers can check in two pieces of luggage, each piece of luggage weighing no more than 32KG, and the size of each piece is three sides The sum does not exceed 158CM. Passengers in Y class can check in two pieces of luggage, the weight of each piece of luggage does not exceed 32KG, the sum of the three sides of each piece of luggage does not exceed 158CM, and the sum of the three sides of the two pieces of luggage does not exceed 273CM.

Travel between other IATA regions adopts a weight-based system. Passengers in F class can check in 40KG, passengers in C class can check in 30KG, and passengers in Y class can check in 20KG. For the excess amount, passengers must pay heavy baggage fees according to regulations.

According to the geographical division of IATA aviation, China belongs to IATA Zone 3 and the United States belongs to IATA Zone 1. In other words, piece-rate baggage transportation is applicable on Sino-US routes.

Regarding the division of international aviation geography, you can find it in PAT-RULES published by IATA. Of course, you can also check the above-mentioned weight and piece-based baggage transportation regulations in PAT-RULES, and you can also find some airlines’ special regulations for baggage transportation. "

Baggage requirements for international flights:

1. A weight system is implemented on general flights. Usually the free baggage allowance for economy class is 20 kilograms. However, some airlines are different. Detailed information depends on the ticket.

2. The so-called "piece rate" system is implemented on flights to the Americas. In fact, there are restrictions on weight and number of pieces.

It is generally consistent internationally. The rule is that the sum of the three sides of each item should not exceed 158 centimeters (economy class). For example, if the three sides of your box are 70, 60, and 28 centimeters respectively, and the total is 158 centimeters, such a box is an acceptable size.

In fact, in actual operation, as long as the luggage is not abnormally large and can be transported on the luggage conveyor belt, the staff will not measure the length of each side rigidly.

< p>Passengers should also pay attention to the weight of each piece.

For example, some airlines stipulate that the number of checked luggage is limited to 2 pieces, the sum of the three sides of each piece should not exceed 158 centimeters, and the weight of each piece should not exceed 32cm. Kilograms. Then you should do this: prepare 2 boxes that do not exceed the size limit, and try to fill each box with as much stuff as possible. As long as the box does not exceed 32 kilograms, you will not need to pay an overweight fee. You can bring a total of 64 kilograms of luggage.

But if your boxes are small and you prepare 4 boxes, each box is only 10 kg, the airline will still charge an overweight fee because the number of items exceeds 2.

One of the purposes of implementing this system is to encourage passengers to ship their luggage in fewer pieces, improve loading and unloading efficiency, and reduce luggage errors. The checked baggage allowance of 64 kg is much higher than the 20 kg free baggage allowance on European flights, which is a great discount for passengers.

3. The carry-on baggage allowance varies greatly among airlines. It cannot be generalized. However, the more consistent approach is that if the limit is 5 kilograms, you can also take another laptop on the plane in addition to the 5 kilograms of carry-on baggage. Flight regulations on baggage weight:

A: The free baggage allowance for international routes is divided into two types: free baggage allowance based on weight and free baggage allowance based on piece weight; seats are based on the fare paid by the passenger. Class, the free baggage allowance for each full or half fare passenger is: 40 kg (88 lbs) for first class, 30 kg (66 lbs) for business class, 20 kg (44 lbs) for economy class (including travel discounts), according to Infants who purchase tickets at 10% of the full adult fare do not have free baggage allowance on a piece basis. According to the seat class of the fare paid by the passenger, the free baggage allowance for each full or half fare passenger is two pieces, each piece is 3. The sum of the width and height shall not exceed 158 cm (62 hours), and the weight of each piece shall not exceed 32 kg. However, for passengers holding economy class (including travel discount) tickets, the sum of the length, width and height of the two pieces of luggage shall not exceed. 273 cm (117 hours). Infants who purchase tickets at 10% of the full adult fare do not have free baggage allowance.

At the same time, with the development of civil aviation, different airlines and different routes have different requirements for free baggage. When ordering air tickets, you must read clearly the free baggage regulations on the air tickets.
