Emirates allows more baggage allowance

Emirates announced on Thursday extra baggage allowances of 10 kg to Bangladesh and India and an additional 20kg to Pakistan as part of its special "Take More This Summer" promotion, for travel on or before July 31. These allowances are on top of the usual 30kg allowance in economy class.

The airline is already offering allowances of 30kg in Economy Class, while Silver, Gold and Platinum Emirates Skywards Members also have the opportunity to carry even more. Silver members can enjoy an extra 12kg, Gold members an extra 16kg and Platinum members an additional 20kg.

"Despite our baggage allowances being amongst the most generous in the airline industry, people still want more, particularly on certain routes and at certain times of the year," said Majid Al Mualla, Emirates’ Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations (Gulf, Middle East & Iran).

"With our special summer campaign, hopefully, we can remove some of that packing and airport stress by increasing the complimentary baggage allowance," he added.

On top of this offer, customers can save time at the airport and benefit from a further 30 per cent saving on additional prepaid excess baggage by purchasing online.
