Checked BaggageThis page covers checked baggage allowances for various travel classes and provides guidance on managing your baggage effectively.
Checked Baggage Allowance
Please check your checked baggage allowance based on your cabin type. Your checked baggage allowance is determined by both the overall weight and number of bags. Once you have booked a flight with us, your ticket will specify what you can check in free of charge.

No piece of baggage should exceed a total size of 158 cm in three dimensions (length + width + height). If your baggage exceeds this limit or is considered special baggage (sports equipment, weapons, live animals), you need to seek prior confirmation and make the necessary payment based on the published rates. 

Business Class
2 PiecesUp to 32 kg each
Economy Sleeper
2 PiecesUp to 23 kg each
Economy
1 PieceUp to 23 kg each
When purchasing individual tickets separately for each part of your journey, the checked baggage allowance will be specified for each ticket. It is important to note that the current checked baggage policy is applicable only to flights operated by Air Astana. However, on code-share flights, the checked baggage allowance will follow the rules of the operating carrier. Please be advised, that if you have a complex route that involves multiple carriers, including code-share flights, please seek additional specific information on baggage policy from a travel agency or website for your journey according to your tickets, since different operating airlines may have different baggage policies.

No piece of baggage should exceed a total weight of 32 kg due to local legislation in Kazakhstan. Therefore, we advise you to repack or redistribute the weight into other baggage(s). Furthermore, passengers are encouraged to review the information available on Air Astana Cargo Services for further assistance with baggage exceeding 32 kg.

Bag Drop Off

We strive to make your travel experience as seamless as possible, including the process of dropping off your baggage two hours before your domestic flight and three hours before your international flight.


If you have checked in online or via our mobile app and have printed or digital copies of your boarding pass, proceed directly to the baggage drop-off counters. Our staff will assist you with tagging and dropping off your baggage.


Please ensure your baggage complies with our weight and size policy to avoid any additional fees or delays.


If you have any special baggage handling requests, such as fragile items or sports equipment, please inform our staff during the drop-off process. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.


We appreciate your cooperation and wish you a pleasant flight with Air Astana.
