Qantas Baggage Fees (2026)

Cabin (contrast): Carry-on is included by cabin and route. See the carry-on sibling (56 × 36 × 23 cm overhead; domestic 14 kg / int Economy 7 kg).

Checked: included on Qantas-operated flights (Economy / Red eDeal / Flex):
Official checked page: “Checked baggage is included for all Qantas Economy flights.” Red eDeal and Flex are Economy fare families, so both get the Economy hold allowance for the route (not a paid first bag).

Max per piece: 32 kg (70 lb) hard cap everywhere.
Size: Domestic linear 140 cm (55 in); international linear 158 cm (62 in) (H+W+D).

Piece vs weight: Domestic AU and Americas use a piece system. International outside Americas uses a weight system (as many pieces as you like under the kg total, still ≤32 kg each).

Airport excess / heavy (Qantas operated; opened 2026-09-17 on pre-purchase pages):

Pre-purchase: Buy online at booking or in Manage booking up to 3 hours before departure (cash or Points). Up to 5 extra pieces (domestic / Americas) or up to 100 kg extra in 5 / 10 / 15 / 25 / 35 kg increments (rest of world). Pre-purchase is cheaper than airport. A fixed prepaid AUD consumer table is not printed on the opened AU pre-purchase page; the US fees page lists prepaid US$58 domestic / US$170 Australia–Americas. Check live AUD quotes in Manage booking, and note the from 9 June 2026 additional-baggage price increase on the US page banner.

Frequent Flyer: Silver / Qantas Club+ get higher allowances (tables on checked page) on QF/QantasLink jets (not Dash 8) and listed EK sectors.

Confirm your ticketed allowance in Manage booking before you fly.

Red eDeal / Flex trap: Qantas Economy includes checked baggage. What you pay for is extra pieces/kg or heavy pieces, not the first Economy bag on a normal QF ticket.

---

1. First Economy bag is included on Qantas. Red eDeal is not a bagless fare.
2. Domestic A$161 is airport excess per extra piece, not the online prepaid rate.
3. Heavy A$64 (domestic) applies over 23 kg when that is your allowance threshold. Silver’s 1 × 32 kg piece may avoid heavy depending on the ticketed allowance; confirm your piece weight in Manage booking.
4. Americas = pieces; rest of world = weight. Packing strategy differs.
5. 32 kg absolute max per piece.
6. Dash 8 / islands cut allowances; Christmas/Cocos rules change 1 Sep / 1 Oct 2026.
7. Pre-purchase AUD often only appears in Manage booking. Use the published airport bands or live quotes rather than a flat A$ figure that is not on the page.
8. From 9 June 2026 the US page notes additional-baggage price increases. Re-check quotes.
9. Same-ticket domestic + international usually takes the international checked allowance.
10. The US allowances-and-fees carry-on section is legacy. Use that page for fees, not primary carry-on dims.

Traveler caution: Check Manage booking for your ticketed kg/pieces. Pre-purchase extras online before you hit the airport A$161 / A$315 / US$210 bands.

VERIFY (unpublished or conflicting on official pages opened 2026-09-17):

• VERIFY: Live AUD prepaid additional-baggage quotes in Manage booking (domestic + long-haul) after 9 June 2026 increase — consumer AU page has no fixed AUD prepaid table.
• VERIFY: Explicit header on AU pre-purchase for the A$161 block as “Australian domestic” (US fees page maps it; AU page order implies it).
• VERIFY: Whether Silver 1 × 32 kg domestic fully waives the A$64 heavy threshold vs Economy 23 kg.
• VERIFY: Christmas/Cocos 1 Oct 2026 allowance/fee change — re-open closer to date.
• VERIFY: Classic Flight Reward partner tickets that exclude checked bags — list exact carriers when packing a rewards leaf.

Does Qantas Red eDeal include a checked bag?
Yes. Official checked page: checked baggage is included for all Qantas Economy flights. Red eDeal is an Economy fare. Domestic typically 1 × 23 kg; Americas 1 × 32 kg; rest of world up to 30 kg. Confirm on your ticket in Manage booking.

How much is Qantas excess baggage?
Published airport examples (opened 2026-09-17): domestic A$161 per extra piece + A$64 heavy over 23 kg; to Americas A$315 per extra piece; from Americas US$210; other international often A$21–A$84 per kg by corridor. Pre-purchase online is cheaper.

What’s the difference between Red eDeal and Flex for bags?
For checked and carry-on, both follow Economy cabin/route allowances on the opened baggage pages. Flex mainly differs on change/cancel fare rules, not a bigger free bag on these pages.

Can I buy an extra bag on Qantas before the airport?
Yes. Pre-purchase at booking or in Manage booking up to 3 hours before departure (QF-operated, conditions apply). Up to five extra pieces (domestic/Americas) or weight increments (rest of world).

What if my bag is over 23 kg on Qantas?
No piece may exceed 32 kg. On domestic AU, a A$64 heavy charge may apply for pieces over 23 kg when that is your allowance threshold. On Americas itineraries, Qantas publishes no heavy charge up to 32 kg for excess-piece scenarios on the opened pages.

Is Qantas baggage allowance piece-based or weight-based?
Both, by route. Domestic Australia and North/South America = pieces (with per-piece kg). International outside the Americas = total weight allowance.
