Kenya Airways baggage rules
- Checked bags: counted in pieces; in Economy each bag can weigh up to 23 kg.
- Connections in Nairobi: on one ticket your bags go through to your final airport.
- Partner flights: a flight sold as Kenya Airways but operated by another airline can have a different allowance.
- Extra baggage: ask us to add it before you fly; it costs less than paying at the airport.
Pets on Kenya Airways
Kenya Airways does not accept pets, either in the cabin or in the hold. The only exception is service dogs, which can travel in the cabin when properly harnessed and not occupying a seat. If you are moving with a pet, it has to travel as cargo, or you can fly with an airline that carries pets. Ethiopian and EgyptAir accept small cats and dogs in the cabin; read our Ethiopian guide.
Lost or delayed baggage on Kenya Airways
- Connections: if your bag does not arrive after a connection in Nairobi, report it at your final airport.
