Current official baggage guide: Economy and Executive Economy one 7 kg bag, 55×38×22 cm / 115 cm, domestic and international. An older indexed version lists Executive Economy 7+5 kg; this conflicting older allowance is not granted by the checker.

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.

Pakistan International Airlines liquids policy

Confirm liquids and exemptions with departure and transit airport security; the reviewed PIA baggage guide does not establish a global checkpoint rule.

Official current indexed page reviewed because direct access was blocked. Older indexed Executive Economy 7+5 kg conflicts with the current one-piece 7 kg table. Laptop handling needs operator confirmation.
