Baggage fees

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.

Saudia liquids policy

Check departure and transit airport liquid screening requirements; the reviewed current cabin page does not establish one universal liquids rule.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

A universal infant fare percentage or separate 7 kg infant cabin entitlement was not established by the reviewed current page. Confirm the actual infant ticket and itinerary.

Stroller

Stroller/baby cradle appears in the list from which one additional personal article is allowed. Size, gate handover and return arrangements require confirmation; no universal aircraft-door return inferred.

Car seat

Free hold carriage and cabin approval not established by the reviewed source; confirm the actual device and booked seat.

    Source review: · Codex (AI source review)

Power banks: at most two, cabin baggage only; do not recharge them or use them to charge devices onboard. USA/UK security may require electronic devices to power on. The 16 lb/45 in rule is a USA/Canada-to-Saudi-Arabia exception, not a universal linear-only size model.
