Where you sit and what you get

The baggage allowance depends on the tier of ticket you purchase. The higher the class, the more baggage you can carry. So, let’s break down the allowances from the back to the front of the aircraft.

Economy class

Customers have four options when purchasing an economy ticket, and the table below shows exactly what allowances you get with each.

Business class

Like economy class, business class customers can choose between four tiers, but unlike economy class, the baggage allowances across the tiers are the same.

First class

Passengers flying first class have only one tier to worry about: First Elite. The baggage allowances for this ticket are as follows.

Privilege club baggage allowances

Finally, if you’re a Qatar Airways Privilege Club member or oneworld frequent flyer, you avail yourself of extra baggage allowances, depending on your tier and route.
