TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion focuses on the best airlines for economy class passengers regarding luggage allowance. Key mentions include Emirates, Qatar, Finnair, and Thai Airways. Emirates offers 30 kg for checked luggage on Flex tickets, Qatar generally allows 30 kg on certain fares, and Thai Airways provides a similar allowance. Finnair is noted for its reasonable fees for additional baggage. Several users suggest using Google to check up-to-date allowances as they can vary by booking.

Finnair seems to be the cheapest for buying extra bags. 23kg as standard than only €60 for an additional

TwTw years years ago, for 9 months, I traveled with only 5kg in one backpack. But I'm not backpacker. Lol. Tbe biggest issue is timing cold places so you don't need bring much clothing.

Usually 2x23 of only "transatlantic" in my experience. From europe, you m it may be cheaper to upgrade class to be able to bring more, or memberships in flying programs. Paying extra for luggage can be very expensive, except in China in my experience.

no. Depending on your ticket type it’s max 25kg or max 30kg flying from UK.

The 2 x 23kg does not apply .
