What is Bangkok Airways' baggage allowance in economy, premium and business?

Economy Class passengers get 20 kg of checked baggage each, Premium Economy gets 30 kg and Blue Ribbon Business Class gets 40 kg. These are total weights per passenger, and the FAQ sets no piece count. Infants on a lap get 10 kg in every class. The homepage confirms the 20 kg Economy figure applies on both domestic and international flights.

Bangkok Airways calls its business cabin Blue Ribbon, the same name it uses for its airport lounges.

Do Bangkok Airways fare types change the baggage allowance?

ESTIMATE

No. Economy is sold as Saver, Smart and Full Flex fares, and every one of them includes the 20 kg checked allowance, so the fare type mainly changes refund and change rules. Premium Economy keeps 30 kg and Blue Ribbon Business keeps 40 kg. The homepage confirms the 20 kg allowance is included on domestic and international flights.

ECONOMY SAVER 20 kg
ECONOMY SMART 20 kg
ECONOMY FULL FLEX 20 kg
PREMIUM ECONOMY 30 kg
BLUE RIBBON BUSINESS 40 kg
04

What is the maximum weight for one Bangkok Airways checked bag?

ESTIMATE

Each checked bag can weigh up to about 32 kg. Your allowance is a total weight, so you can split 20 kg in Economy across several bags as long as no single bag goes over that per-piece cap. Heavier items need to go as cargo. The Conditions of Carriage baggage chapter did not load for us, so confirm the limit before flying.

How much extra baggage do FlyerBonus members get?

FlyerBonus Premier members get an extra 10 kg and Premier Plus members an extra 20 kg, added on top of their class allowance. The bonus applies on flights Bangkok Airways operates. Both tiers also receive a PRIO baggage tag at check-in, and you need to show your membership number at every check-in to get it. The entry Priority tier lists no extra weight.

How much does Bangkok Airways charge for excess baggage?

ESTIMATE

Domestic excess baggage starts from THB 180, according to the Bangkok Airways FAQ, which does not say whether that is per kg. International excess runs from about THB 500 per kg and varies by route. Buying prepaid baggage costs less than paying at the airport. You can add it in Manage My Booking up to 2 hours before departure, or through the call center and ticket offices up to 4 hours before.

Can you bring golf clubs, a surfboard or a bicycle on Bangkok Airways?

Yes. Bicycles fly at no additional cost when checked, and one golf set per passenger is accepted as checked baggage only. Surfboards may be up to 277 cm on Airbus jets but only 170 cm on the ATR 72 turboprops, so check which aircraft flies your route. One set of diving gear is accepted if securely packed. A foldable stroller can go as carry-on when it fits the size limit.

The 170 cm surfboard limit on the ATR 72 is the one to watch, since Bangkok Airways flies turboprops on some short routes.

BICYCLE Checked, no additional cost
GOLF 1 set per passenger, checked only
SURFBOARD 277 cm Airbus, 170 cm ATR 72
DIVING EQUIPMENT 1 set, securely packed
FOLDABLE STROLLER Carry-on if within size limit

Can you fly with a pet on Bangkok Airways?

ESTIMATE

Only cats and dogs are accepted, and they travel in the hold rather than the cabin. The charge is worked out as excess baggage on the combined weight of the animal and its container. Arrange pet travel in advance through the airline's pet page or by email to [email protected], since space is limited.
