Economy: one main bag up to 7 kg; Premium Economy: one up to 10 kg. Business/First: two different pieces, not two full-size cases. Main page publishes 10 kg for departures from Brazil; FAQ narrows this to travel originating in Brazil with tickets purchased there. Confirm the ticket-specific exception. India Economy/Premium: one piece, 115 cm total. FAQ additionally restricts wheeled bags to less than 115 cm total; measure protrusions and confirm a boundary case.

Measure the full external bag size, including wheels and handles.

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.

Emirates liquids policy

Emirates publishes containers up to 100 ml in one transparent resealable bag up to 1 litre; medicine, baby food and dietary exceptions need verification at screening. Airport and transfer rules apply.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Infant FAQ permits one 55×38×22 cm bag up to 5 kg for inflight necessities/food. Infant fare and checked allowance depend on the ticket; weight-concept checked allowance is 10 kg, piece-concept one bag up to 23 kg and 150 cm total.

Stroller

One collapsible stroller or carry-cot in the cabin if space permits and no child seat is being brought; otherwise transported in the hold. Confirm equipment combination with Emirates.

Car seat

Confirm child-seat acceptance, seat reservation and equipment combination directly with Emirates; no universal free separate allowance is established here.
