In addition to dimensions, please note that a business class ticket provides for two pieces of baggage (no more than 8 kg each), an economy class ticket and a child ticket - one piece of baggage of the same weight.

According to the rules of international flights, some items and substances cannot be transported in the cabin, namely:

Turkish Airlines baggage allowance is calculated separately for each flight. It depends on the route: from where and where the flight. Exact information is indicated when booking or on the ticket. Of the pleasant bonuses, it is offered to carry some sports equipment for free (for example, for kayaking or playing golf).

General provisions for the weight of baggage on domestic flights free transportation of 30 kg in business class, 20 kg - in economy class and special offers - 15 kg is provided.

For international flights, the same rules apply as for domestic ones, with the only difference being that there are no special offers.

There are no restrictions on the number of pieces of luggage per passenger on international flights.

For a number of international flights (Africa, America) there is limit on the number of pieces of allowed free baggage:

• business class: 2 units per 32 kg, with a maximum dimension of 158 cm (the sum of length, width and height);
• economy class: 2 units per 23 kg, with the maximum size as in business class.
• 23 kg of luggage is calculated per infant, consisting of 1 unit and 1 folding stroller. The maximum dimension is 115 cm.

Bonus card holders have the privilege to increase the free baggage allowance.

Baggage surcharge: how much is 1 kg overweight?

Finally, it's ready: the suitcases are packed, the passport, insurance and money are hidden in a safe place, the taxi rushes to the airport. That's it, soon - another country and a sea of ​​new experiences. And then, like a bolt from the blue, at the front desk they report an overweight of luggage.

What is the cost of excess baggage with Turkish Airlines?

Maybe the price is such that it is not worth it to go through and weigh luggage at home many times in the hope of meeting the desired free limit?

The price for domestic flights within Turkey and to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is 8 lira (approximately $ 1.2) per 1 kg of overweight.

The calculation of payment on international flights does not have a single tariff and depends on the flight distance. The airline's website contains a table in which the points of departure and arrival are divided into regions. Below is the second table of correlations by region, which calculates the excess baggage fee between the two regions.

For example, on the Istanbul-Sochi flight, the cost is 6 € for each extra kilogram.

If a flight with a transfer is provided, then the total cost of a kilogram is calculated. Consider the route Sofia-Istanbul-Helsinki. The capital of Bulgaria is region 1. The price for such luggage is 4€. The capital of Finland is region 4. The price for transporting excess baggage from Turkey is 11€. We add 4€ + ​​11€. We get 15 € per kilogram of overweight on such a flight.

On flights where baggage is counted in units, a different tariff applies. Such airports are divided into two regions (see the table on the website). Below, the second table of ratios by region, which calculates the excess baggage fee between two regions (price per 1 unit).

The price of baggage for a flight with a transfer is calculated according to the same scheme as when calculating the cost of excess kilograms - summing up the cost of one flight and the second.

Before you travel, check on your ticket how much you are allowed to take with you for free. If you are planning a flight from Naples and Rome to Lagos, Cano, Accra, Abidjan, check the Turkish Airlines website for special conditions for these destinations. The same applies to those who are going to visit the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
