Garuda Indonesia Baggage Allowance and Fee

Carry-on/Cabin Baggage Policy

1. Baggage Allowance: Each passenger is allowed to bring one piece of cabin baggage on board, plus one personal item such as a purse or laptop bag.
2. Size Limit: The maximum size for cabin baggage is 56cm x 36cm x 23cm (22in x 14in x 9in), including handles, wheels, and pockets.
3. Weight Limit: The maximum weight for cabin baggage is 7kg (15lbs).
4. Restricted Items: Certain items are not allowed in cabin baggage, such as explosives, flammable liquids, and sharp objects. Passengers should review the airline's list of restricted items before packing their cabin baggage.
5. Gate Check: If the cabin baggage exceeds the size or weight limit, or if the overhead bins are full, it may need to be checked at the gate and placed in the aircraft's cargo hold.

Checked Baggage

The term "checked baggage" (also known as "registered baggage") refers to items that are weighed and transported in the aircraft's hold or cargo area. During the flight, passengers need help to reach them. Special baggage tags with the arrival location and a serial number are used to identify these items. A portion of this tag is typically required to be turned in at the arrival station and is only used for identification purposes when affixed to the passenger's boarding ticket.

Every Garuda Indonesia passenger may have a free checked baggage allowance depending on their tickets. Additionally, Garuda Indonesia has implemented a stringent policy to guarantee that no single item or piece of checked baggage weighs more than 70 lbs/32 kg.

Checked Baggage Allowance for Passengers Travelling Together

When two or more passengers present themselves with their luggage for travel at the same time and are placed on the same flight as one party to a shared destination point or point of stopover, they will be given a combined total free baggage allowance equal to the sum of their free baggage allowances. The excess baggage fee will apply to any bags that exceed the combined maximum limit.

Excess Baggage Policy

Garuda Indonesia's excess baggage policy allows passengers to bring additional baggage beyond their standard baggage allowance, subject to fees and restrictions. Here are some key points about Garuda Indonesia's excess baggage policy:

1. Fees: The excess baggage fee on Garuda Indonesia varies depending on the route and the weight of the additional baggage. Passengers can check the excess baggage fee for their specific flight on the Garuda Indonesia website or by contacting the airline directly.
2. Restrictions: Garuda Indonesia has restrictions on the weight, size, and contents of excess baggage. Passengers should check the airline's baggage policy for specific details.
3. Payment: The excess baggage fee can be paid at the airport check-in counter or at the airport baggage office. Payment can be made in cash or by credit card.
4. Online purchase: Garuda Indonesia offers an option to purchase excess baggage online, which can be done up to 4 hours before departure. This allows passengers to save time and avoid long lines at the airport.
5. GarudaMiles elite members: GarudaMiles elite members may be allowed additional baggage based on their membership tier, which may reduce the need for excess baggage fees.
