အမြန်အဖြေ- From the UAE, most airlines allow a 7 kg cabin bag in economy. Checked baggage depends on the fare: flydubai Lite, Air Arabia Basic, Air India Express Lite, airblue Value and Etihad Basic include none, while IndiGo, PIA, SpiceJet, Akasa Air and SriLankan include 30 kg even on regular economy fares. Biman, Himalaya Airlines and the two bag airlines (Philippine Airlines, Ethiopian, Kenya Airways) are the most generous. No single bag can weigh more than 32 kg on most airlines.

Cheapest fares that still include a checked bag
The lowest fare is not always the cheapest trip once you add a bag. These airlines include checked baggage even on their entry fares:
- IndiGo- 30 kg on regular fares from the UAE.
- ပင်လယ်ကွေ့လေ 25 kg even on Economy Light, split into up to five bags.
- အဲအိန္ဒိယ 25 kg on Economy Value.
- အိုမန်လေကြောင်း 20 kg on Super Saver to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Manila, Cairo and other selected cities.
- စော်ဘွား: 20 kg on Economy Special.
- PIA, SpiceJet, Akasa Air and SriLankan: 30 kg on economy.
Cabin bag only fares (flydubai Lite, Air Arabia Basic, Air India Express Lite, airblue Value, Etihad Basic) suit short trips with hand luggage. For a trip home with gifts, the next fare up is usually cheaper than adding a bag later.

Weight or pieces: which do you have?
Airlines count checked baggage in one of two ways. With weight, you get a total such as 30 kg across as many bags as you like, within the per bag limit. With pieces, you get a number of bags, usually 23 kg each in economy. Emirates and Qatar Airways use weight on most UAE routes but pieces to the Americas and parts of Africa. Philippine Airlines, Ethiopian and Kenya Airways use pieces. Your e-ticket shows 30K for weight or 2PC for pieces.
