There is no clear policy of airline in this respect. We would suggest that you contact the local airline office in this respect. The general thought is that if the overall package size is within permitted size limit of 158 cm linear dimensions, then it will be allowed for free. 

It is allowed in check in baggage, provided the dimensions of check in baggage are within the permitted allowance limit of 158 cm in linear dimensions. Since passengers travelling from Saudi airport and carrying LED TV have faced hassles, we would suggest that you do contact the local office of the airline for total confirmation.

You have not mentioned the place of origin of flight. The overweight baggage charges are given in the content above. 

You are allowed to bring 2 bags of 23 kg each

If TV is within permitted size limits, it is fine to carry it. We would still request you to contact the Saudia local office because passengers have been denied carriage of TV on some reason or the other. So, please get confirmation from local office. Weight-wise there is no problem because you can always pay more for excess baggage. 

The Most Significant Carrier rule will apply and the Saudia baggage allowance policy would be applicable even for domestic routes. 

We do not think that the TV of this size would be permitted by Saudia. Please check with the local office of the airline for confirmation. 

The sum of dimensions are more than the permitted allowance limit. This might not be allowed. 

It can be carried. However, it is subject to security clearance. 

Are you asking about TV? If yes, it is allowed if it is within the permitted baggage and size limits. 

Check in baggage and cabin baggage allowances are separate. You shall not mix the two, reducing weight in one and increasing in other. If cabin baggage allowance is more than permitted allowance, you might be asked to repack it and transfer some of the articles to check in baggage. The airline also reserves the right not to carry it. Therefore, please stick to their respective allowances and do not mix these.

Please ensure that total weight and size limits of check in bag are met. 

Airline does not restrict it. We can not say about the regulations of different countries and other airport authorities. 

This might not be allowed. It is better to avoid. 

No, there will not be any issue. Please ensure that the boxes are not of irregular shape. It would be good if proper check in bags are used. 

Yes, you are right. Which route are you travelling?

LED TV is fine but what is the size and weight of luggage? Which route and cabin class are you flying? 

If this is within the permitted allowance limits by weight and size, it will be allowed. However, we would request you to contact the local airport authorities for confirmation.

If check in baggage allowance is based on piece concept, the additional weight to be paid for is based on number of pieces. 1 pcs additional baggage of up to 23 kg can be bought. So, it is okay to have additional bag of 10 kg by paying excess baggage fees. 

If it is within the permitted allowance limits of checkin baggage, it can be carried. 

Which route are you flying? 

1 carton box of 17 kg is okay in check in because total allowance is 30 kg, but the cabin bag of 15 kg is excess. Cabin allowance is 7 kg only. So, you need to repack it and transfer some articles to check-in. Blanket in cabin as a personal item is okay.  

This would be at the discretion of airline officials at airport. 

Size of LED TV packing shall meet the check in baggage size limits. 

Lithium ion batteries have to be taken in cabin baggage only with proper insulation and packing. 

Only a reasonable amount can be carried. Bluetooth speaker and 2 powerbanks can also be carried in cabin baggage. 

This might not be allowed. 

Zam Zam water up to 5 litres can be brought in check in baggage, in addition to free allowance. 

Only 5 litres of Zam Zam water are allowed in check-in baggage, in addition to the normal allowance. So, we believe that the embargo on baggage being shown could be due to that. Please keep weight and size limits of check in baggage within permissible limits.

The earlier response was wrongly given for Emirates airline, wherease you asked about Saudia. Same 5 litres of zam zam water is allowed in addition to free check in allowance. 

Only 1 cabin bag is allowed for economy travellers.

That shall not be a problem with the airline. 

Please keep the sum of dimensions of TV less than 158 cm. It shall be allowed in check in baggage. However, it is better to consult the local airline office since there is no clear policy of the airline in this respect till now. 

Whether any country has restricted certain items or not, please contact the airport authorties for the same. We can only say about the airline policy. 

Which route are your flying? If you are allowed 2 check in bags, then one of these can be a LED TV. Since there is no clarity on airline policy in this respect, we suggest that you contact the local office of airline. And, do share your feedback with us as well. We will publish the same for the benefit of our readers.

Please note that there is a problem only with the irregular shaped bags. Otherwise, check-in bags is not a problem. 

You need to contact some local cargo agent for the same. 

2 check in bags of 23 kg each are free. If you buy online, USD 104 is the charge for an excess 1 check in bag of 23 kg. So, for 2 check in bags it would be $208. If you buy at airport, the charge is USD 164 for each bag. Besides, you will have 1 cabin bag of 7 kg.
