Discover which airlines offer the most generous baggage allowances for flights to and from the UK. Learn about the different types of luggage and fees associated with carrying them.
Baggage allowances are often a hidden cost of air travel, with many airlines charging additional fees to bring on hand luggage and put bags in the hold. It’s a bone of contention among passengers and one which saw some budget airlines – including Ryanair and EasyJet – recently fined £150,000,000 for ‘abusive’ baggage fees in Spain. With airlines often changing the rules or using different guidelines for different routes and classes of tickets, it can be hard to keep up.
We’ve looked at the policies of the major airlines flying to and from the UK, to find out which offers the best baggage allowance. There are generally three different types of luggage passengers can take on a flight: a personal item, a cabin bag, and a checked bag. A personal item must fit under the seat in front of you. Cabin bags must be stored in the overhead locker. A checked bag is a larger bag that must be checked in at the desk when arriving at the airport. Many airlines charge an additional fee for cabin bags. The airlines with the best baggage policies are Air France, Etihad Airways and Turkish Airlines. These three airlines all offer one free personal item and one free cabin bag, plus a free checked bag weighing up to 23kg with all fare types and routes. Emirates and Qatar Airways offer a similar deal with all their fare types and routes, but with only up to 20kg of checked luggage
