Cathay Pacific Increases Weight Allowance
by Daniel McCarthy /Cathay Pacific will increase the luggage weight allowance for all passengers beginning September 15.
Economy passengers will be able to check luggage totaling 66 pounds instead of the previous 44 pounds, while premium economy passengers will be allowed up to 77 pounds (up from 55); business-class passengers up to 88 pounds (from 66); and first-class passengers up to 110 pounds (up from 88).
It’s not all good news, however. Where in the past passengers were allowed an unlimited number of bags, now first-class passengers will be allowed only three, and everyone else will be limited to two.
