Cathay Pacific Airways and Dragonair have introduced an enhanced baggage policy, which will see passengers benefit from increased check-in allowances and lower excess baggage charges from September 15, 2016.
Under the revised weight system policy, all passengers, regardless of their class of travel, will enjoy an additional 10kg allowance for check-in baggage. Marco Polo Club Silver, Gold and Diamond members will benefit from an extra 10kg, 15kg and 20kg respectively. In line with global industry standards, the zoning of excess baggage charges will also be adjusted. The new zone combinations will see an extensive reduction of charges of up to 40 percent.
The revised baggage policy will follow a weight system with piece count. Passengers in Business Class, Premium Economy Class and Economy Class will be entitled to check-in two baggage items free of charge, while First Class passengers will be entitled to check-in three baggage items. Marco Polo Club Gold and Diamond members will be entitled to check-in one additional item on top of their travel class allowance.
In addition to the enhanced check-in baggage policy, Dragonair will increase its carry-on baggage allowance, which currently stands at 5kg in all classes, to match that of Cathay Pacific. The new allowance for passengers travelling in Economy and Premium Economy will be increased to 7kg; Business Class and First Class passengers will enjoy allowances of 10kg and 15kg respectively. www.cathaypacific.com
