If you’re travelling with Emirates on an upcoming flight, here’s everything you need to know about your Emirates baggage allowance, restrictions, fees and charges.
Cabin baggage allowances on an Emirates flight will depend on your fare:
Economy: customers are permitted one piece of carry-on baggage, either a handbag or laptop bag, that may not exceed 55 x 38 x 20cm and must weigh no more than 7kg / 15 lbs.
First Class and Business Class: customers are allowed two pieces of carry-on baggage: one briefcase plus either one handbag or one garment bag. The briefcase may not exceed 45 x 35 x 20cm; the handbag may not exceed 55 x 38 x 20cm; garment bags can be no more than 20cm thick when folded. The weight of each piece must not exceed 7kg.
Passengers travelling with infants can bring a carrycot or a collapsible stroller if there is room in the cabin if not, the item can be checked into the hold free of charge.
Note: For customers boarding in India, you are allowed one piece of carry-on baggage. The size of the carry-on baggage may not exceed 115 or 45.3 inches (length + width + height).
Note: For all flights departing from Brazil customers can carry up to 10 of cabin baggage.

Excess baggage charges on an Emirates flight will again depend on your fare and also your destination. Emirates provide an online baggage calculator to help you determine your excess baggage costs. These prices can vary on a number of factors.
Emirates offers a very generous complimentary baggage allowance for all passengers. However, purchasing excess baggage on an Emirates flight can be very expensive and increase the overall cost of your journey considerably.
