Saudia's Airline Baggage Policy 

Saudia follows a simple baggage policy for passengers to enjoy the journey while remaining within international frameworks. Checked baggage is based upon the travel class and routing. The Economy Class entitlement is 1 piece with a 23 kg weight limitation. Business Class and First Class allow 2 pieces, 32 kg each. If travelling on a long-haul route with business class, 3 pieces may be allowed. An AlFursan Silver or Gold Member can check additional free baggage; however, a passenger cannot check any more than the maximum size, 158 cm (total dimensions). Oversized or overweight baggage over 32 kg must be treated as cargo.

For cabin baggage, economy passengers are entitled to 1 carry-on at 7 kg; business class and first class are 12 kg (plus briefcase). No charge will be made for some personal items such as handbags, laptops, coats, and infant essentials. Saudia recommends checking baggage entitlements at the time of booking, as baggage entitlements may vary based on route, ticket type, and fare class.
