Baggage question
Hi everyone!
Wondering if you can help me. I have a ticket that doesn't call out how much baggage is included. I tried to buy an additional piece online but I am only getting an option to buy additional weight. Can you please let me know if anyone had this before? |

Can you please let me know if anyone had this before? The answer depends on where you bought the ticket. In some markets they use 'piece concept' and in other 'weight concept". If your ticket gives you (for instance) 2 bags of wax 23Kgs each, you can only buy extra bags. And similar for weight, you get XX Kgs free (plus extra for status) and you can buy additional Kgs. At least that's how I have always understood it. |
Didn't want to start another thread...But a friend of mine has a 8 hour transit in DXB in a few days ( LHR -DXB -DEL)
He is planning to check in luggage all.the way to DEL at LHR and leave the airport ( British passport holder so no pre arranged visa needed) and do some shopping at the Dubai Mall Will EK allow additional.luggage to be checked in while in transit at DXB ( if its still within the overall allowance ) |
Thanks for this thijsseh ! The ticket only calls out "30kg", so I am guessing it's the 'weight concept'. So, for a second checked in item, I just need to purchase additional weight, right?
ukdoctor I would check the visa requirements though. Back in 2020 I travelled to India and needed a visa (with a British passport) although that seems like a lifetime ago now... re: your question, yes, I am sure this is fairly standard. Transit passengers is the main avenue of Emirates' business, so I am positive this will work. The question is the fee. It looks like buying additional weight or pieces will be cheaper ahead of the check in. |

I have never ever had any baggage issues with Emirates. If you want baggage issues, try BA. |
I have been Flying Emirates for more than 20 years, But Baggage issues have really gotten Bad. 4 years ago, SFO to DBX First Class Flight was missed due to Suitcase was 3.5 lbs extra and Staff at SFO would not Budge.
If you had a J Reward Ticket (DBX to SFO) courtesy of Alaska Miles and a Gold Status, you still do not get the extra Luggage (Business get extra Baggage), Because it was not a Purchased Ticket? we checked two days before Flight and it was noted on the Record that Business Flights do get Extra Baggage allowance. But upon check in, we were told $800.00 Dollars extra or Leave suitcase Behind. we ended up Giving suitcase & clothes,etc to Uber Driver. We were not the Only one that Day. more than 10 people were noted emptying there suitcases in DBX Business Terminal. |

Gold entitles you to extra allowance. period. there should be no difference in Baggage allowance when Ticket is purchased or courtesy of Miles/Points. specially when they confirmed that a Day Before and it was noted on the Record.(I made sure they note that) It seems like that Day was a make extra Baggage money day. as it was quoted earlier, more than 10 Passengers were sitting on the Floor adjusting Luggage. Here is the sad Part, The Supervisor admitted that the person that commented on the Locator was wrong and apologized for their mistake, But they still won't Budge.
So here you have it fu t! |

If you bag was ‘3.5 lbs extra’, it means it was above the 32 Kgs limit (for J and F) and it is not allowed, no matter what status you hold (it’s a Heath and Safety rule). |

Since, you think you are so smart, why don't you Google Emirates Gold Benefits: Gold Extra Allowance= 1 Additional Piece of checked Baggage of 23 K.G./50 lbs.

@ft: By the way, Two of my Favorite airlines are Qatar & Emirates with Turkish being 3rd. Nothing like Emirates Lounges in DXB. Nothing like A380's of Emirates. My only issue with Emirates was the Luggage issue after 40 or more Flights with them.I I love Hyatt, But once i stayed at Hyatt that had spiders, does not mean I cannot point that out?
