Etihad increases Coral Economy baggage allowance

Etihad Airways has increased its complimentary baggage allowance for Coral Economy class guests to 30 kg (although the new policy does not apply to flights to/from Canada or the US where baggage policies are regulated on a per-piece basis). Members of the Etihad Guest program also receive additional allowances. For example, an Etihad Guest Elite member travelling in Economy will now be able to check as much as 50 kilos of baggage on a complimentary basis. The new guidelines will also allow for complimentary carriage of some sporting equipment. In addition to the standard checked baggage allowance, a guest in any cabin will be able to check in up to 15 kg of scuba equipment and golf bags weighing up to 15 kg on a complimentary basis. In March, Etihad increased the baggage allowance for premium passengers to 40 kg for Pearl Business class and 50 kg for Diamond First class.
