What is the baggage allowance?

Asked a year ago
The baggage allowance on South African Airlines varies depending on the class of service and the destination. For domestic flights, Economy Class passengers are generally allowed one piece of checked baggage weighing up to 23kg, while Business Class passengers can bring two pieces with the same weight limit. International flights typically permit Economy Class travelers to check in one or two pieces weighing a maximum of 23kg each, depending on the route. Business Class passengers usually have a higher allowance of two or three pieces with the same weight limit. Additionally, carry-on baggage is limited to one piece weighing up to 8kg for Economy Class and two pieces weighing up to 8kg each for Business Class. It is advisable to consult the airline's website or contact their customer service for precise details on baggage allowance as it may be subject to change.
