Emirates has just announced an increase to its free baggage allowances provided to passengers. The change is effective for all tickets issued on or after 4th May.

The new, generous allowance has been implemented across the airline's extensive network of over 100 destinations globally- 30kg for Economy Class passengers, 40kg for Business and 50kg for First. This new allowance will give Emirates' passengers the flexibility to carry significantly more baggage, said a statement.

Codeshare passengers travelling on Emirates operated flights are also eligible for the revised free baggage allowances.
