Air France’s check-in baggage allowance depends on the travel class and the destination. For most Economy Class passengers, Air France allows one checked bag that weighs up to 23 kg (50 lbs). For Premium Economy, the allowance is typically two checked bags of 23 kg each. If you are traveling in Business Class, you’re generally allowed two bags up to 32 kg (70 lbs) each, and La Première (First Class) passengers may check three bags weighing up to 32 kg each.
Bag dimensions for checked luggage must not exceed a total of 158 cm (length + width + height). Any bags exceeding the size or weight limits may incur additional charges. If you’re flying on a route that includes partner airlines or code-shares, it’s always a good idea to double-check with Air France or those airlines about their baggage rules.
Frequent flyer members in the Flying Blue loyalty program may enjoy additional allowances, depending on their membership level. For example, Silver, Gold, and Platinum members often receive one extra checked bag free of charge, regardless of travel class.
You can view your specific baggage allowance by checking your ticket details or logging into the "My Bookings" section on the Air France website or app. The allowance shown there is based on your ticket and destination, so it's accurate for your trip.
Additional checked bags can be added for a fee. These fees are typically lower when paid online in advance rather than at the airport. If you're traveling with sports equipment, musical instruments, or oversized baggage, Air France provides clear guidelines and often allows these items for an extra charge or as part of your allowance, depending on their size and weight.
In summary, the number of check-in bags Air France allows depends on your travel class and route. Always check your ticket or Air France’s official guidelines before packing to avoid any surprises at the airport.
