KATHMANDU: Cathay Pacific Airways and Dragonair have announced the introduction of an enhanced baggage policy. Under the revised weight system policy, all passengers, regardless of their class of travel, will enjoy an additional 10 kg allowance for check-in baggage, as per a press statement. Marco Polo Club silver, gold and diamond members will benefit from an extra 10 kg, 15 kg and 20 kg, respectively. In line with global industry standards, the zoning of excess baggage charges will also be adjusted. The new zone combinations will see an extensive reduction of charges of up to 40 per cent. The revised baggage policy will follow a weight system with piece count. Passengers in business, premium economy and economy classes will be entitled to check-in two baggage items free of charge. First class passengers will be entitled to check-in three baggage items free of charge. Marco Polo Club gold and diamond members will be entitled to check-in one additional item on top of their travel class allowance. In addition, Dragonair will increase its carry-on baggage allowance, which currently stands at five kg in all classes, to match that of Cathay Pacific. The enhanced check-in baggage allowance will be applicable to air tickets issued or exchanged on or after September 15, while the new carry-on baggage policy will be effective from September 15.
