For flights to and from Brazil, Argentina, Canada and the USA, the Qatar Airways baggage policy allows passengers to take two pieces of 23 kg each as long as they do not exceed the dimensions of 158 cm when the length, width and height are added together. For Business Class and First Class passengers the weight limit for both pieces of luggage is 32 kg. This allowance can vary depending on the specific route and the class of travel, for example, if the flight is between Doha and Africa passengers are allowed items that add up to 45 kg with maximum overall dimensions of 300 cm. However, any one item is not allowed to exceed 32 kg on its own as this protects the baggage handlers’ safety. For any of the other flights on Qatar Airways, passengers are allowed items that add up to a 30 kg maximum weight with dimensions of 300 cm.
If you are travelling with an infant, their baggage allowance is one piece of luggage up to 10 kg as long as the dimensions are less than 115 cm (Length + width + height). If travelling to or from the USA, Argentina or Brazil the maximum weight is increased to 23 kg. Either way, one stroller, pushchair or collapsible carrycot is carried free of charge for each infant. Children older than two who have a ticket for their own seat are allowed the same baggage allowance as an adult in the same class.
If you would like to take sports equipment with you on your trip, you will have to include it in your allotted baggage allowance. As long as they are safely packaged and less than the weight and size limitations they will be able to be carried in the hold for the duration of the flight. However, if you exceed your allowance, or the equipment is larger or heavier than is allowed you may be subject to an excess baggage fee.
