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.

RwandAir liquids policy

Check departure and connecting airport screening instructions and the current airline restricted-items policy; no worldwide numeric liquids guarantee established in the reviewed baggage page.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Passenger carrying a baby may have a baby carrycot and listed light articles such as diapers, bottles and food up to 12 kg; this is not an unrestricted infant suitcase or fare percentage.

Stroller

Free gate handling, dimensions and arrival-door return not established in reviewed baggage page; confirm with RwandAir.

Car seat

Cabin or free hold car-seat entitlement not established in reviewed baggage page; confirm before bringing one.

Additional notes

Sources and scope

Source-based research; no hands-on test or specialist review claimed.

  • One 55×38×20 cm bag up to 10 kg; Johannesburg 7 kg. Cabin bags measured against WB moulds/sizers at check-in; excess checked. Wheelchair/crutches and baby carrycot/light articles up to 12 kg are conditional additional articles.

    Current passenger page does not grant two Business mains or an unrestricted personal backpack. Older November 2021 US tariff search result has different figures and scope; its full rule could not be retrieved, so it is not used to raise a current allowance. No gate-return/fare/free car-seat guarantee established.
