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 policyCheck 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.
Liquid screening depends on departure and transit airports; no universal airport liquid allowance established by the reviewed Gulf Air baggage pages.
One cabin bag up to 44×35×20 cm and 3 kg. Checked infant allowance is one piece up to 10 kg; for US-operated flights the published checked allowance is 15 kg, with 3 kg cabin baggage. No universal infant fare percentage established.
Children aged 2+ and infants receive a collapsible stroller/pushchair free according to the baggage page. Return at the aircraft door is not guaranteed by that source.
Child/infant car seat carried free under the published baggage allowance; this does not establish approval to use it in a cabin seat.
Children aged 2 years and above receive the adult baggage allowance plus the published stroller and car-seat allowance.
Source-based research; no hands-on test or specialist review claimed.
