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 policyHow 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.
Etihad Airways liquids policy
Etihad guidance for departures from Abu Dhabi: toiletries in containers up to 100 ml, total 1 litre in a transparent resealable bag. Other origins and transfers can have different screening requirements.
Family & Infants
Infant (under 2)
Confirm infant fare, cabin essentials and checked entitlement in the booking/calculator; the reviewed current FAQ does not establish a universal fare percentage or infant bag entitlement.
Stroller
Confirm stroller allowance and airport handling with Etihad for the infant/child booking; no universal free gate-check guarantee is retained.
Car seat
Children up to 3 travelling on a child ticket may use an approved car seat subject to published equipment, seating and installation conditions. Confirm acceptance; no universal free hold-carriage guarantee retained.
