Frequently asked questions

What is the Qatar carry-on size limit?

Does Qatar weigh carry-on bags?

Qatar Airways states a carry-on weight limit of 7 kg / 15 lb. A packed hardside carry-on often weighs 15 to 25 lb, so check your packed weight with a luggage scale before leaving home if you are close to the limit.

Will a 22 x 14 x 9 inch bag fit Qatar?

No, not by the published figure. A 22 x 14 x 9 inch bag converts to 55.9 x 35.6 x 22.9 cm and is 5.9 cm over Qatar’s limit on its tightest side. A 21 inch carry-on around 53 to 54 cm tall is the safer choice for this airline.

Is the Qatar carry-on included in the fare?

On the page read for this site, the carry-on is included in the standard fare. Basic or light fares at some airlines restrict the overhead bag, so confirm what your specific ticket includes before you pack.
