Your check in baggage allowance for this route and on 18th october is 46 kg. You will have to take it in two check in bags. Is 46kg also mentioned in your ticket?

You can have both ways. Either you can split it in 2 bags or carry all 30 kg in single one. Please take note of the dimensions of the check in baggage as well. 

Yes, it can be done that way. It would be good if you could make it 2 bags of 23 lg each. USD 15 per excess kg is to be paid at airport. However, when you pay online, the charge is USD 12 per excess kg. 

30 kg check in free allowance from LHR to BLR in december and same allowance when you travel back from BLR to LHR in January. You can carry laptop bag along with cabin baggage.

Yes, it is okay to divide 40 kg baggage allowance in check in as 23 kg and 16 kg in two bags. 

You will be charged for excess baggage. 

Can you check the baggage allowance in your ticket? Gulf air has got its policy changed for some route. We believe you are allowed to carry 46 kg in check in baggage on route from Medina to Karachi in economy class travel. So, if that is the case, then you would be okay with the baggage you want to carry. Please note that the box carried is not of irregular shape and in taped. Do not tie any rope around the box. If you can take another check in bag in place of box, it is better option. 

1 litre juice bottle would not be allowed. Cookies can be taken. 

No, it will not be allowed. 

It should not look as if you are checking in a cabin bag. 

It is better to have proper check-in bag. Airline officials at airport to have final say. 

Your queston is not clear to us. 

That shall not be a problem.

Yes, it can be done. No single check in bag shall be  more than 32 kg in weight. ZAM ZAM water is to be carried in addition to the check in baggage and in check-in baggage. 

Baggage allowance must be mentioned on ticket. Please go by it. 

It can be taken. 

It is 30 kg check in baggage and 6 kg cabin allowance per passenger on this route. 

You do have a 46 kg allowance in check in baggage, but please contact the local office to know whether three check-in pcs would be allowed or only 2. The problem is not in weight but in the number of pcs being carried. 

Size of check in bag shall be less than 158 cm as sum of dimensions. You can have carton box within size and weight limit allowance. 

158 cm sum of dimensions shall be max size of each check in bag. Oversized baggage will entail extra charges. 

For you flight route, the check in baggage allowance is 40 kg and cabin allowance is 6 kg per passenger in economy class travel. $32 per excess kg is the charge for excess baggage. PLease note that you are allowed to take only 32 kg in one check in bag, so if your allowance is more, please divide into 2 bags. 

$32 per kg is the excess baggage charge for pre-paid excess baggage. 

Can you tell us what is the route of your flight? Baggage allowances have changed for Gulf Air. Is this allowance mentioned on your ticket?

Yes, these can be taken as check in bags. 

30 kg check in and 6 kg cabin allowance in economy class travel per passenger.

Gulf air has changed baggage policy. We are yet to receive total baggage information for all routes. Please go by the check in allowance shown in your ticket. Please keep the hand baggage allowance to only 6 kg in economy class.

6 kg cabin baggage allowance for economy passengers and 9 kg cabin baggage for Falcon flyers. 

Are you carrying an exercise bike of dimensions 72×20.5×70 cm? If yes, this can be taken in check in baggage because the size allowed is 95cm x 75cm x 45cm on Gulf Air. Also, this is within the permitted check in baggage weight limit. 

We have confirmed that the airline has changed its baggage allowance policy but has not updated its website page. We want you to check this page: https://www.gulfair.com/baggage/baggage-allowances However, the policy is changed now and for your route the check in baggage allowance is 46 kg in check in baggage and 6 kg in cabin luggage for economy class travellers. 

Please note that we are not the airline but an independent website. 

It is always better to take these in check-in baggage.

Since no check in bag can be more than 32 kg, and your allowance is 40 kg, you are requested to take it in two check-in bags. Therefore, 2 check-in bags of 20 kg each are okay. 

Yes, it can be taken as 2 bags of 23 kg each. 

Cabin baggage shall not be more than 6 kg for economy class travellers. Please check your ticket for mention of check-in baggage allowance. 

Please cross check about your baggage allowance with the airline. We do not think this is correct. Weight-wise there shall not be a problem in carriage of LED TV. However, you must check with airline whether TV would be counted as an additional baggage and charged for it. 

There is no provision of excess baggage being carried free for the Blue card holders. Standard baggage allowances would apply and the 2 extra kgs will have to be paid for.

You are right. You can have 2 bags of 23 kg each. 

Yes, it can be bought online. 

You have not mentioned route and cabin class of travel.

We do not think that the luggage allowance is 46kg. It shall be 30 kg. Please cross check with whoever you have booked tcikets with. 

We do not think it is correct that 2 bags of 23 kg each is the check in baggage allowance. 6 kg cabin allowance is right. You might have to pay excess baggage charge for 16 kgs if you take 46 kgs. Please confirm with the airline directly for surety.

Yes, that is fine. 

It has to be taken in check in baggage

You have not mentioned the route of travel. If it is a USA/Canada based origin, then 2 bags of 23 kg each are allowed in check-in. If another box of TV is to be carried, it will entail excess baggage charges. 

It is okay to have only one check-in bag for this weight. 

Carriage of LED TV shall be a part of check-in baggage allowance. It can be carried for free if weight and size limits of check-in baggage are not breached. If weight is more than total free allowance, then excess baggage charges would apply. Gulf air allows carriage of LED TVs of upto 42 inches screen size. 

Yes, these can be carried. 

You can ask the airline to through check in baggage to final destination. If Gulf Air is able to do it, it will inform you. 

What we had told you also came from the airline office. Actually, there is a lot of confusion about carriage of LED TVs by different airlines of the Gulf region- such as Saudia, Air Arabia, Gulf Air, etc. Different passengers have given us different feedback. However, to resolve all confusion, we must add that if the airport office of the airline is saying so, please go by that information. That would be the most updated information. 

It is 30 kg check in and 6 kg in cabin baggage per passenger in economy class. 

Economy class- 30 kg; Falcon class- 40 kg (but single check in bag not more than 32 kg). 

You will have to change the weight and keep it within the permitted allowance limits for carrying these free. Otherwise, you will have to pay charges. 

Much will depend on how airline officials at airport react to just an one inch difference in LED TV screen size. If we go by the policy, you would be required to send it through cargo. 

It shall be okay provided this is within the permitted check in baggage size and weight limits and is not irregular shaped baggage.

This will depend on whether the airline officials at airport deem it fit to be carried in check in or not after seeing its weight and dimensions. 

We do not think that the allowance to India is 46 in check in. Have you booked tickets with airline or some agency? Hand baggage allowance for economy is 6 kg but check in baggage allowance is 30 kg per passenger in economy. And, you can take it in maximum of 2 check-in bags. 

Just to make a little correction that from 15th July, 2018, the airline has put a limit of max 2 check-in bags for passengers on flights to/from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. So, you will have to pack all stuff in 2 bags and have total weight 30 kg. If in excess by weight, it will have to be paid for to the extent it is overweight. 

PLease mention the route of travel. 

From where are tickets booked- agency or airline? And, how many passengers travelling and in which class?

You will have to use cargo facility as only upto 42 inches of TV are allowed in check in baggage. 

Gulf Air baggage allowance of check-in is 30 kg. Cabin baggage is of 6 kg. 

We do not think that the baggage allowance to India is 2 bags of 23 kg each since this is for USA/Canada. You are allowed 2 check in bags within the permitted allowance but the permitted allowance is 30 kg in economy class on your route of travel. Cabin baggage of 6 kg is okay. Please get in touch with the local office of the airline in this respect. 

You shall mention which route you are travelling and the cabin class. 

5 litres of Zam Zam water can be taken apart from check-in baggage. For baby bed, airline staff at airport will have final say. We suggest you speak to airline staff at airport. 

Check-in baggage allowance is 30 kg for economy class travellers. Please take care of the size of the trolley as well, since the sum of dimensions of the trollery shall be within permitted allowance limit.

In cabin, it provides bassinets which shall be requested for well in time. 

Any irregularly shaped check-in baggage, such as bundled baggage, would not be allowed at Dubai or Riyadh airports. There is no specific ruling on cartoon boxes as such. So, there shall not be a problem. However, we are suggesting that if it is possible to put the items in check in baggage, it is a better idea to do it that way. 

Zam Zam water is allowed in check-in baggage. And, you can take it for free up to 1 can of 5 litres which is well seal-packed. 

Yes, it can be taken. But, we would suggest that you shall try to take a regular check-in bag if possible. 

The size is okay. You can take the three boxes (we assume these are cardboard boxes) within the permitted weight and size limits in check-in baggage. You are allowed 30 kg check in and 6 kg cabin baggage in economy and 40 kg checkin and 9 kg cabin baggage in Falcon class travel. 

Which route you are travelling? Please refer to the content above for baggage allowances. 

Is there any other carried involved in this itinerary?

Though the cabin bag (strolley) is longer than the length given for cabin baggage, we would request you to ask the departing airport airline office whether sum of dimensions for cabin baggage would be considered and then check whether the cabin bag meets the sum of dimensions restrictions. 

We always suggest taking the regular checkin bags in place of cartons. These are allowed by airlines but we would recommend you to speak to airport authorities to avoid hassles during security clearance. 

No, it has to go through the cargo route.
