Frequently asked questions
What are the Turkish checked baggage dimensions?
Turkish Airlines publishes 158 cm as the standard checked bag size, measured as length plus width plus height with wheels and handles; there is no separate per-side limit. On international flights the number of free bags changes with the fare more often than the per-bag size does, so confirm the allowance for your route.
What is the Turkish checked bag weight limit?
Turkish Airlines’s own page gives 23 kg (50.7 lb) for a standard checked bag. Economy. No single piece may exceed 32 kg under either the piece or weight concept. Weigh the packed bag at home: a luggage scale costs less than a single overweight fee at most airlines.
How big can a checked bag be on Turkish?
The standard size is 158 cm, measured as length plus width plus height with wheels and handles. Of the 17 checked suitcases in our catalog with wheels-included listing sizes, 9 are within it, the largest being 58.3 linear inches. 8 of the 28 to 30 inch cases are over it, so check a large case’s wheels-included figure before you buy it for Turkish.
What happens if my Turkish bag is overweight?
Turkish charges an overweight fee above the standard limit; the amount was not confirmed from its page for this site, so check the airline. Moving a few pounds into your carry-on is usually the cheapest fix.
Researched, not professional advice. Fees change often and differ by route, fare and status; check the airline before you fly.
