    Searching for a long-haul flight and the result shows they have 40kg allowance in Economy Saver?

    Surely a mistake, isn't 40kg only for Business?

    I flew Emirates to Cape Town in September on an economy ticket. I had 2 x 23kgs allowance. I’m flying there again in March this time with Qatar & they also allow 2 x 23kg suitcases. One thing though, with Emirates they also weigh the carry on luggage. I think the allowance there is 7kgs.

    interesting it's possibly split between 2 alright.. when I'm making the booking again I'll see if I can click a link on the weight to be sure.

    I think they allow 32kg and then possibly 8kg

    My son flew with Emirates to Dubai then on to Melbourne a few days later two weeks ago and his ticket allowed 30kg between two bags and up to 7kg for his carry on bag which was also weighed and it was around 9kg but they didn't charge extra for it.

    Emirates is normally 30kg/7kg in economy,Qatar 25kg/7kg in economy.Higher classes more weight allowed.Depends on check in staff for charges if you are over.

    US and Middle Eastern carriers often have hefty checked luggage allowances.

    I had 2 x 23kg recently on Qatar so it's possible. What was annoying was we all about one 20kg luggage, so 26 unused kgs. But then they were VERY strict on how heavy hand luggage could be.
