TG reduce luggage allowance
...for certain ticket categories in cattle class
just saw this by coincidence today...no official announcement and many travelers will be hit by surprise! luggage allowance for economy class passenger:30 kg (66 pounds) * Except 1) RBD L/ V/ W: 20 kg ( 44 pounds) for Ticketing/ Travelling effective on/ after 01 APR 19 2) RBD G: 20 kg (44 pounds) for Ticketing/ Travelling effective on/ after 01 JUL 19 |
I saw this too, reported on a Danish travel site. Must admit though that TG's Y class allowance has been very generous until now, and will now be in line with the rest of the industry.
Where I read this, it came alongside the news that U class (premium economy) is no longer offered to CPH after 26 October this year. This would bring CPH back in line with the rest of the network after they made the same move for ARN at the same time last year. I guess this suggest that J class demand is becoming strong enough to Scandinavia to warrant a full J class cabin on the 77W, which is good news! ^ As with the luggage allowance, this has not seen an official announcement either. |
One wonders how strictly TG will enforce it. I am a frequent traveller on one route in particular, return to Bangkok Saturday early am and depart late Sunday pm or Monday am and the hand luggage of many many passengers is more bulky and looks more heavy than the check in baggage of most passengers. TG may need to hire some heavies.

BKK CNX?

EK introduced the same policy a couple of months ago. I assume the booking class shows up when the luggage is checked in

Just bought a Y ticket BKK-HKT. TG reduced baggage allowance from 30KG to 20KG on the cheaper Y classes. |

30 kg was extremely generous, in EU it’s only 20 kg & 32 kg in J & now there are lots of ‘light fares’ the cheapest Y tickets with no bags... |

I thought that’s why TG has WE for. |

actually WE has a generous allowance. Premium economy “Smile Plus” gets 40kg, as I recall. 30kg domestic flight 40kg international flight |
As a Silver card Royal Orchid member flying the cheapest economy will I still be allowed and extra 10Kg?
I am sure that my last tickets stated that I was allowed 40kg, so if I still get the extra 10 Kg then 30Kg is fine. 20Kg for the cheapest economy seats is OK, as long as TG do not go to 10 seat rows on the 777. :) |

Since it said ticketing/traveling on or after April 1, if you purchase before April 1, is the bags 30 kg or 20 kg for travel after April 1?
My itn from the travel agency says 30 kg on it and logging in Thai website to manage booking I can find zero information on it. |
