new hand baggage rules
Now when you go to the airport to take the flight, be sure to keep in mind the new rules related to hand baggage. There has been a change in the rules related to hand bags for flights. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) have introduced new hand baggage rules. In view of the increasing passenger load at airports with time, new rules are being implemented. With these rules, the time taken for security check can also be reduced. Here we are going to tell you some points, through which you will be able to know about these new rules.
1. Now a passenger can have only one hand baggage. This rule is for both domestic and international flights. If you have more than one bag, you will need to have the additional bag checked.
2. The weight limit of the bag has also been fixed according to your travel class.
Economy and Premium Economy passengers can carry one handbag weighing up to a maximum of 7 kg. First Class and Business Class passengers can carry one handbag weighing up to 10 kg.
3. Maximum size limit for hand bags has also been issued.
Height: 55 cm (21.6 in) Length: 40 cm (15.7 in) Width: 20 cm (7.8 in)
You should keep in mind that your hand bag should be within this size limit.
4. If you booked your flight before May 2, 2024, you are eligible for some discounts. This discount is as follows:
Economy class passengers can carry hand bags up to 8 kg. Premium Economy passengers can carry hand bags up to 10 kg. First class and business class passengers can carry hand bags up to 12 kg.
5. These new rules have been brought to reduce the crowd of passengers at security checkpoints. Due to the new rules, the security staff will have to check only a few bags. This will reduce the time taken for security check.
6. Now when you are packing for the flight, keep the new rules in mind. Your hand bag should be within the prescribed weight and size. This will save you from delay and inconvenience at the airport.
