Qatar airways baggage allowance

[Englishman2010]

Strictly speaking hand baggage allowances are limited to one bag that should be smaller than a certain size (dimensions will be on the airlines website). Usually hand baggage allowances are 7 - 10 Kg, I can't remember what Qatar's was. However, they told me that they do not weigh a laptop as part of the hand baggage allowance.
The strange thing with hand baggage is that you are limited to one bag at the check in, but as soon as you get airside you can shop to your hearts content in the duty free area and take another 10 carrier bags full of shopping on to the aircraft

I am a gold FF with Qatar and you get 20-23kg by default but some agents have arrangements where you get extra bagage by default... I get an extra 20kg and i only use about 8kg normally so i don't bother to check... My mother who lives in India always books through agents around the Southall area who will give you 30kg (plus 15kg for her silver status).

Speak to the agent and say that QR are only giving you X while you said Y and see what you get thrown in... QR staff are generally flexible leaving from LHR or MAN...
