Türkiye · Last checked 18 October 2026
How much baggage does a Turkish Airlines ticket include?
Quick answer: On routes that count bags, Turkish Airlines allows 23 kg per checked bag in Economy and 32 kg in Business. Domestic flights and some other routes count kilos instead, so your ticket decides. The Economy cabin allowance is one 8 kg bag plus a 4 kg personal item.
Cabin baggage and personal item
| Class | Cabin bags | Personal item |
|---|---|---|
| Economy | 1 bag, 23 × 40 × 55 cm, up to 8 kg | 1 item, 40 × 30 × 15 cm, up to 4 kg |
| Business | 2 bags, each 23 × 40 × 55 cm and up to 8 kg, 16 kg in total | 1 item, 40 × 30 × 15 cm, up to 4 kg |
- An infant passenger has one cabin bag of up to 8 kg on domestic and international flights, in Economy or Business.
- Star Alliance Gold cardholders get the allowance of the class they fly in.
- A cabin bag that breaks the rules and has no tag is charged at the boarding gate and travels in the hold. If there is no space in the hold of that flight, it is sent on the next available flight.
- On busy flights the crew may ask you to hand your standard cabin bag in at check-in. It is then treated as checked baggage at no charge, so keep valuables and essentials with you.
- Flights from the USA: Business passengers may bring 2 cabin bags. One travels in the cabin with the personal item, and the second is checked free of charge. Hand it in at the check-in counter.
- At some airports, transit passengers cannot pass the transit security point with liquids over 100 ml, including closed duty-free items.
Checked baggage
| Class (routes that count bags) | Each checked bag |
|---|---|
| Economy | Up to 23 kg |
| Business | Up to 32 kg |
- The number of free bags depends on the fare and the route. Domestic flights and some other routes count kilos instead of bags, and the page does not list those kilos. Use the baggage calculator on the Turkish Airlines website or the details on your ticket.
- No single checked bag may weigh more than 32 kg. A heavier load must be split into two or more bags.
- Each free bag may not exceed 158 cm (length + width + height).
- Infants: on the EcoFly fare without free baggage there is none. On other fares an infant gets one 23 kg piece where bags are counted and 10 kg where kilos are counted. A stroller up to 115 cm and 8 kg may be carried in addition to the cabin allowance.
- Star Alliance Gold cardholders get one extra piece where bags are counted, or 20 kg extra where kilos are counted.
- On international flights you cannot combine your allowance with a travel companion who is on a different booking reference.
- Liquids in checked bags: at most 5 litres in total, in sealed containers of no more than 1 litre each.
Oversize bags and extra baggage

|---|---|---|---|
| 158 to 292 cm | USD 110 per piece | USD 150 per piece | TRY 1,000 per piece |
| Over 292 cm | Not accepted | Not accepted | Not accepted |
- The oversize charge applies per piece even when the bag is within your free allowance. It is measured at the check-in counter and applies in Economy and Business.
- Excess weight and extra bags are sold through the Extra baggage service, and prices depend on the fare package. The page does not list the amounts. Pay at a sales office, at airport check-in or through the call centre.
- Baggage fees can change up to 8 hours before departure.
- Flights to or from the USA follow US Department of Transportation rules, and flights to or from Canada follow Canadian Transportation Agency rules. The rules of the first marketing airline apply to the whole trip.
