Etihad Increases Baggage Allowance

Etihad Airways has increased the complimentary baggage allowance for Coral Economy Class guests to 30kg. That doesn’t include travel to/from the USA and Canada, where baggage policies are regulated on a per-piece basis. Members of the Etihad Guest programme will enjoy additional allowances. For example, an Etihad Guest Elite member travelling in Economy will now be able to check as much as 50kg of baggage on a complimentary basis. The new guidelines will also allow for complimentary carriage of some sporting equipment. In addition to the standard checked baggage allowance, a guest in any cabin will be able to check in up to 15kg of Scuba dive equipment and golf bags weighing up to 15kg on a complimentary basis. In March, Etihad increased the baggage allowance for premium passengers to 40kg for Pearl Business class and 50kg for Diamond First class.
