QR changes baggage allowance Qatar Airways will increase its checked baggage allowance, starting September 1, on all routes worldwide. The per person checked baggage weight in economy class has increased from 23kg to 30kg and in business and first class from 30kg and 40kg to 40kg and 50kg respectively. The number of bags remains the same and is dependent on the type of ticket purchased. The increased weight allowance does not apply when travelling to points that are regulated by a ‘piece concept’ allowance. The airline said the decision had come as a result of the number of passengers travelling for longer periods for both business and leisure. It is also expected to publish new excess baggage rates in September, which will see an increase in the current rates. However, passengers will be able to purchase excess baggage at discounted rates of up to 20% on qatarairways. Privilege Club members will continue to enjoy excess baggage allowance in addition to the new increased baggage allowance.
