Umrah Guides

BAGGAGE Weight and Size

Carry-on Baggage : allowance can vary according to the airline, the cabin class you are traveling in and even the size of the aircraft. As a general guide, carry-on baggage should have maximum length of 22 in (56 cm), width of 18 in (45 cm) and depth of 10 in (25 cm). These dimensions include wheels, handles, side pockets, etc.
Some airlines also enforce weight limitations, typically starting at 5kg/11lbs.

Checked Baggage : each bag should weigh less than 23KG/50LBS. This is an international regulation set for the health and safety of airport workers who have to lift hundreds of bags daily. If your bag weighs more than this, you may be asked to repack, or have it labeled as "heavy luggage".

Medical Supplies : If you require the use of medical syringes in flight, such as for insulin, you need Documented Proof of the medical need and ensure that the material is professionally packed and labeled. If it is not, the medication is likely to be removed at security screening.
