Checked baggage varies significantly: weight concept routes (most of the network) allow 23–50 kg per bag by class, while US and Canada routes use piece concept with Economy at 23 kg per bag and Business/First at 32 kg per bag. Maximum single bag weight is 32 kg. Oversized baggage exceeding 90 × 72 × 45 cm costs $100 per item. Excess baggage can be purchased online before departure at savings of up to 65% versus airport counter prices.

Which baggage concept applies to my route?

Can I buy extra baggage before my flight?
Yes. Purchase excess baggage online up to 7 days before departure via your booking on etihad.com to save up to 65% compared to buying at the airport. You can also add it during online check-in if space is available.
What items are prohibited or restricted?
Etihad follows international IATA rules on dangerous goods, lithium batteries, and restricted items. Review the full baggage policy on etihad.com or contact support for details on specific items (sports equipment, musical instruments, electronics, etc.).
