Etihad Airways Cabin Baggage Size and Weight
Etihad Airways Cabin Baggage Allowance
Etihad Airways have a generous overall baggage policy with a standard hold luggage allowance of 30kg (rising with your Etihad guest status and class of flight) and are also renowned for good service.
Yet they have stricter cabin baggage rules you need to check before you fly. The Etihad cabin bag allowance you receive does depend on the class you are travelling in and the Etihad Guest status you have also to a lesser extent so I am going to start with the lowest class. Read this whole page to see exactly what you are allowed and the official Etihad Airways baggage pages for exceptions.
You may also like How to Travel Light, but here are the Etihad allowances.
Etihad Coral Economy Class Hand Luggage Rules
Coral Economy is basically the `normal`, cheapest tickets.
You can take 1 cabin bag on board with you with Etihad Coral Economy.
Dimensions: Must not exceed total dimensions of 111cm = 50 x 40 x 21 cm for example.
Etihad Weight Limit: 7kg
Standard Hold Luggage of 30kg rising in line with Etihad Guest Loyalty Status – can be more than one subject to a size restriction that is not really a restriction!
See http://www.etihad.com/en-gb/before-you-fly/baggage-information/baggage-allowances/ if you are an existing Etihad Guest member for more detailed info.

Etihad Pearl Business Class Carry on Baggage Rules
If you upgrade to Pearl Business Class the carry on allowance increases and you are now allowed 2 bags with a greater weight:
Dimensions: Each bag must not exceed total dimensions of 111cm = 50 x 40 x 21 cm for example.
Combined Weight Limit of 12kg across the 2 bags.
Standard Hold Luggage of 40kg rising in line with Etihad reward status (32kg a bag max for health and safety)
Etihad Diamond First Class Cabin Baggage Rules
If you`re lucky enough to be flying Diamond First Class you`re probably too important to be reading this and would not have scrolled all the way down here (just a joke!) but here`s the information for you.
The same as Pearl Business Class I`m afraid! Still 2 bags and a 12kg weight limit Although the hold luggage starts from 50kg combined, with 32kg max per bag rising in line with your Emirates reward card status.
Enjoy your flight with a very high standard of service and even your own chef on board, I`m more than a little jealous!
Duty Free
A reasonable amount is normally allowed at most airports.

Etihad Airways Hand Baggage Rules – check to make sure you follow the Etihad baggage rules and see what your allowance is but this site is pretty accurate with nearly all the airline cabin baggage allowances.
Also, US/Canada/Brazil flights have slightly different baggage rules so check the Etihad site link above.

Hello Danish
You are allowed the 7kg on board as carry on luggage with the appropriate restrictions and the 30kg as checked luggage.
So it is 2 pieces – 1 that will go in the hold and 1 that will go on board with you.
Have a good flight!

Hi, I am due to fly from The Neterlands to South Africa in November 2014, I probably have too much luggage however my question is can I have hand luggage that includes a carry suitcase and a handbag or not? Thanks!
Hi Rebekah,
You can have one bag as part of hand luggage with economy Etihad so you can have a carry suitcase if it`s the right size or a handbag but not both. However, you get a free hold luggage so could take both if you put the carry suitcase in the hold.
Basically you can take either in hand luggage but not both unless you got an upgrade. Have a great flight!
Hi Im travelling with 40kgs baggage allowance. How can it possibly be divided into 2 baggages? Id also like to know how much does the airline charges for excess baggage per kilogram at check in and how much it will cost if ill get additional allowance in advance of 10 or 15 kgs for a connecting flight from amman to abu dhabi and abu dhabi to philippines. Your reply is highly appreciated.
I’m not 100 sure but remember you get hand luggage and hold luggage free. If you are traveling with someone else you can split the 40kg between you.
