Policy at a glance

Etihad Airways Baggage policy

Use this Etihad Airways baggage guide to compare the published cabin allowance, checked-bag allowance and fare-specific notes before packing or buying extra baggage.

Cabin baggage

One cabin bag up to 7 kg, max 56×36×23 cm — Economy doesn't include a separate personal item, so your one bag is it.

Check-in baggage

Checked allowance is weight-based on most routes from India (roughly 20-35 kg depending on fare, split across bags up to 32 kg each); US/Canada itineraries instead use a 2-bag, 23 kg-each system.

Important note

Economy Basic includes no checked baggage at all — just the 7 kg cabin bag — so check your fare before booking extra pieces (cheaper pre-booked online than at the airport).
