# Know About Emirates Airline Baggage Policy 2023

**Emirates Airline 1(888)-657–3644 Baggage | Allowance policy**

Emirates Airlines is one of the world’s leading airlines, with a long and prestigious history spanning more than three decades. The airline was established in 1985 and is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It currently operates more than 3,000 flights per week to more than 150 destinations on six continents.

Emirates' baggage policy can be a little confusing when it comes to allowing carry-on items, as it uses the word "carry-on bag" instead of "standard carry-on bag" or "carry-on bag." However, these “bags” have the same size restrictions that we typically find assigned to a standard tote bag.

In addition, we have presented you with information about the maximum weight and size allowed for your luggage, which varies greatly depending on the base fare.

Each piece must not exceed the maximum linear dimensions of 118 inches (300 cm). If it exceeds this size, it cannot be checked in as baggage and must be shipped as cargo or freight. There are no exceptions to this rule.

#### Carry-on baggage exceptions

In addition to fare and cabin allowances, parents traveling with babies can bring an additional foldable baby carrier, cot or stroller. However, if the overhead bins in the cabin are full, you may have to check them in the hold. As such, it's always a good idea to call ahead and reserve extra space if you need the accessory in flight.
Passengers who use a wheelchair can check in a fully collapsible one at no extra cost, in addition to the standard fare and cabin baggage allowances.

#### Emirates checked baggage

Emirates bills itself as having “one of the most generous baggage allowances in the world”. Airline checked baggage allowances are based on a calculation that takes into account origin, destination, cabin class and ticket price. Depending on your route, Emirates can use either a weight model or a per piece model.
