Can I take golf bag instead of other luggage?

I am travelling from Gothenburg to Bangkok with Qatar Airways on an economy class ticket. I am taking with me a golf bag (20 KG) and one suitcase (about 30 KG). Is this okay? How much baggage am I allowed to take?

Best Answer

According to Qatar Airways, its Baggage allowance on the route is as follows:

Flights to and from all other destinations

First Class 50kg (110lb) and a maximum dimension of 300 cm (118in)

Business Class 40kg (88lb) and a maximum dimension of 300 cm (118in)

Economy Class 30kg (66lb) and a maximum dimension of 300 cm (118in)

Baggage guidelines

Maximum dimension = length + width + height;

A single piece of checked baggage should weigh no more than 32kg (70lb). Any bags weighing more than 32kg (70lb) must be broken down so that each piece weighs less than 32kg (70lb).

Excess baggage charges may apply if you exceed the weight and/or piece allowances; contact your local Qatar Airways office for more information;
