Qatar Airways Carry-On Size Guidelines

What are the carry-on regulations for Qatar Airways?

If you hold a First Class or Business Class ticket, you can bring up to two pieces of baggage on board; if you're in Economy Class, you're allowed one piece. In addition to your carry-on, you may also bring a smaller personal item. Regardless of your travel class, the combined dimensions of your carry-on bag(s), including wheels and handles, must not exceed 20 x 15 x 10 inches (50 x 37 x 25 cm). Personal items such as a handbag or small briefcase are also permitted.

The carry-on weight limit for Qatar Airways depends on your travel class. If you're traveling in First Class or Business Class, your carry-on baggage must weigh no more than 33 lb (14 kg). Conversely, for Economy Class, the limit is 15 lb (7 kg), unless you're flying to or from Brazil, where Economy passengers can carry up to 22 lb (10 kg).

What are Qatar Airways' policies on carrying liquids?

You may bring liquids, gels, and aerosols to your seat, as long as they are securely contained in bottles of up to 3.4 oz (100 ml). These containers must fit in a clear, resealable quart-sized bag, which should not exceed 8 x 8 inches (20 x 20 cm). Please note that during screening, airport security will request that you present your transparent bag of liquids separately from the rest of your carry-on baggage.

What additional items are allowed on board?

You are permitted to bring musical instruments on board as long as they occupy a separate seat. The instrument must not exceed 47 inches (120 cm) in length and 165 lb (75 kg) in weight. If you have mobility challenges, you may bring your crutches as a personal item, provided they comply with size restrictions.

If you require a wheelchair, you can bring it on board at no extra cost. You may also take certain sports equipment with you, provided it complies with size restrictions and is properly packaged. However, most sports equipment can only be transported as checked baggage on Qatar Airways flights.
