Anyone know cost of excess bag w/ Qatar Air?
Sorry, but when I check online, all it says is "Contact you local Qatar Airways office". Due to my location, I can't do this. I have one extra bag at 23kg, and am wondering if anyone knows what this will cost me? If it is ridiculously high, I'll just leave it here, but if it's within reason (400QR) I'll bring it. So does anyone know the going rate or cost per bag?
Thanks,
JD
It's not per bag it's per kilo and the price depends on your route / where you're flying from and to. I've paid USD20 per kilo from Europe and perhaps 25% of that from an Asian city both ending in Doha.
You should try to enquire with your point of departure - Qatar Airways IMHO sucks at customer service but surely they can give you an answer to this fairly simple question - if they can't or won't it's just more fuel for my "never fly Qatar Airways" again fire.
its 7.1 KWD per kg exccess baggage from Kuwait to Manila.
exccess baggae is different from city to city and distance wise.
7.1 KWD (25 USD) is per KG from Kuwait to Manila.
if u have original and valid burgendy card, u will get 10 KG extra baggage allowance also. but u should be holding valid and original burgendy card.
There you go... :)
Just upgrade your ticket using Qmiles 10,000 miles
and take your excess luggage along and enjoy premium terminal luxury at Doha , then fly wherever you gonna fly .
it all depends where ur travelling to
short locations will be cheap
I was in the airport to the filipines 4 years ago it was 78 QR per KG
India 44
UAE 30
etc
I just checked the fares for my trip, business and economy, this is what I found:
Business Class: 756.00 KWD = 2,676.11 USD
Economy Class: 290.00 KWD = 1,026.55 USD
So, yeah. I don't see how flying business class and spending $1600 extra, versus simply paying $275...
1,000.00 QAR = 274.914 USD
I think I'll just fly economy, pay the difference and save $750.
I'm going from Kuwait City to Doha to Manila. I can't call them because I'm in Afghanistan. I already have an economy ticket, I'll weigh the difference between paying the upgrade to business class and paying for excess baggage. I can't see an upgrade to business class being less than 1000QR though.
I DO have a burgundy frequent flier card, have had one for years, don't know if that would help me any.
And yes, fly business class and you dont have a problem.

$15/kg. I have experience carrying extra luggage and they charge me $15 per kilo..
You better ship it.. its cheaper.
It is 50 QAR per kg.
My wife was carrying 20 kgs extra and they demanded 1000 QAR. She unloaded it and I sent through Qatar Post who charged me 200 QAR.
Fly business class and have no luggage issues on Qatar airways .
Where are you traveling? What is your location? Qatar Airways has high rates as far as I know.I think is good to use Cargo services if you are willing to take this bag of 23 kg!
Good luck!
