Official baggage policy

Published standard allowance: Economy 1 piece, Business 2 pieces, 8 kg per piece; 118 cm total (55+40+23). Flights to/from/within the US allow one cabin bag plus one personal item. South Africa departures use 56×36×23 cm (115 cm total) and 7 kg per piece; this checker uses the standard allowance, not that route exception. Small-aircraft restrictions can apply.

Baggage fees

No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.

Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.

EgyptAir liquids policy

EGYPTAIR publishes 100 ml containers in one transparent resealable 1 litre bag (about 20×20 cm), with medicine, baby-product and dietary exceptions. Confirm departure and transfer security requirements.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Infant checked allowance: one piece up to 10 kg and 115 cm total; to/from USA or Canada, one piece up to 23 kg and 115 cm. The hand-luggage column lists a collapsible stroller, not a separate 8 kg infant cabin bag. Baby food and necessities for the flight are permitted; confirm the infant fare in the booking.

Stroller

One fold-up collapsible stroller is listed in the infant allowance. Confirm delivery and return arrangements with the airport; gate return is not guaranteed.

Car seat

On-board use requires the appropriate child fare, an approved labelled seat no wider than 41 cm, and airline acceptance. Rear-facing seats are not accepted; car seats are excluded from B787-9 Business. Confirm hold charges and handling for your ticket; a universal free-hold entitlement is not established here.

Children's allowance

The published adult-and-child table applies to children occupying a seat; check fare and route conditions.
