Turkish Airlines baggage policy

Turkish Airlines baggage policy is designed to make your journey smooth and hassle-free. Below, we’ve outlined the details for checked, carry-on, and extra & excess baggage as of 08 January 2025:

Checked Baggage

Turkish Airlines baggage allowance for checked bags is based on two systems: Piece Concept and Weight Concept.

Piece Concept:
  • Economy Class: 1 piece of checked luggage (up to 23 kg).
  • Business Class: 2 pieces of checked luggage (each up to 32 kg).
  • Maximum Dimensions: A single piece of baggage must not exceed 158 cm (length + width + height).

Weight Concept (Domestic Flights):

Domestic flights follow the weight concept, allowing up to a total weight for your baggage:

  • Economy Class: 23 kg per bag.
  • Business Class: 32 kg per bag.

Fee:The fee for checked bags varies based on fare type. You can find the particular price of your baggage through their online calculator.

Important Notes:
  • No piece of baggage should exceed 32 kg. Baggage over this limit must be split into two or more pieces.
  • Infant passengers are allowed 8 kg of checked baggage plus a stroller not exceeding 115 cm.
