Qantas makes changes to baggage allowances
Qantas will move from a piece and weight system, to a weight system, for all international flights – excluding those to/from the Americas.
Regardless of whether a customer is travelling on Qantas or new partner Emirates on international flights between and within Europe, Asia, North Africa, the Middle East and Australia, their overall baggage allowance will be the same (with the exception of sporting goods or infant allowances).
The new weight limits range from 30kg for economy class passengers who are bronze Qantas frequent flyers, to 52kg for Qantas Club or silver Qantas frequent flyers in Premium Economy,
Business Class allowances start at 52kg for bronze frequent flyer members.
The new international allowances are for tickets issued on or after February 26 for travel on or after March 31.
Qantas Frequent Flyer customers booked on the piece system (pre 26 February 2013) and travelling from 31 March 2013 will still have their additional Frequent Flyer allowances honoured on both QF and EK services
Meanwhile, Malaysia Airlines is increasing its baggage allowance by 10kg in every class.
Economy Class passengers will now get 30 kilograms standard baggage allowance, Business Class guests will be entitled to 40 kilograms and those in First Class will have 50 kilograms.
The airline is also reducing its excess baggage charges for travel in all classes.
The new system will apply to all travel from February 14, irrespective of tickets issued earlier reflecting the original lower
free allowance.
