Allowed Baggage size in emirates between India and USA
My journey is from Bangalore, India (BLR) to New York, USA (JFK) via Dubai in Emirates (Economy Flex). I have an American Tourister bag and the model is same as this [Link]. The Length + Width + Height is 164 cm. But when I checked Emirates itinerary, it clearly mentions 150 cm (or 59 inch) [Link] as allowed limit for check-in baggage.
Can any frequent flyer comment if this is safe to travel or Emirates will be very particular about the dimensions?
Best Answer
Emirates employ two types of baggage concept; the first is Weight Concept, and the second Piece Concept. The piece concept is applied when a journey is to any of the destinations in Canada, North America, and South America.
Since your Journey is to a destination (that is New York) in the States, Piece Concept applies.
According to this concept for Economy Class, two pieces of luggage weighing 23 kg each is checked-in. When it comes to dimensions, the total dimensions (height, width, length) of an individual piece should not exceed 150 cm or 59 inches. However, in your case, the total dimensions exceed by 14 cm. Hence, excess baggage allowance is charged.

Don't worry about that much of a size difference. The maximum possibility is that if they think your hand-carry is too large they will ask you to book it with the luggage instead of taking it in the cabin.
