Reply To: Qatar Airways baggage allowances

[Ladyshopper]

I’m very much hoping they allow pooled luggage allowance. We’re flying to Auckland later in the year (and back from Sydney). We usually have 3 x 23kg suitcases between the two of us, which is fine on BA but their luggage policy is different to Qatar.

For ease of transport (I have some mobility issues) I really don’t want to spread that across 4 suitcases instead to make us both within our individual limits, as we will also have two hand luggage cases for all of my medical equipment (can’t go in the hold as can’t risk baggage being delayed/lost).

Normally it would be 3 hold suitcases and one hand luggage case when travelling business on BA, but that’s because the hand luggage sizes are more generous on BA, and I’ve got the perfect sized hand luggage case specifically for that purpose, and can get all my medical equipment in the one case, then one of us has a rucksack. Qatar hand luggage sizing is a bit weird and doesn’t seem standard compared to any other airline, but it does mean we’re going to need 2 hand luggage cases and not one.
