What is the checked baggage allowance on Royal Brunei Airlines flights?

On all Royal Brunei Airlines flights, the following free checked baggage allowances apply:

  • Economy – 30 kg (66 lbs).
  • Business – 40 kg (88 lbs).

A single piece of checked baggage may have a maximum weight of 32 kg and total dimensions of 158 cm (62 inches). Pieces that weigh more than 32 kg are not allowed.

Carry-on Baggage

To ensure a safe and comfortable flight, Royal Brunei Airlines enforces some restrictions regarding the size and weight of the things passengers are allowed to bring on board. These restrictions are calculated so that carry-on baggage may be stored in the overhead lockers or under the seat in front of you:

Carry-on BaggageNumber of PiecesMaximum WeightMaximum Dimensions
Economy Class1 piece7 kg (15 lbs)55 x 38 x 20 cm
(22 x 15 x 8 in)
Business Class2 pieces (one briefcase plus
one bag or garment bag)		12 kg (26 lbs) combined weight
7 kg (15 lbs) per piece		55 x 38 x 20 cm (22 x 15 x 8 in)
garment bag – 20 cm (8 in) thick when folded

Excess Baggage

If you think your baggage will exceed the free baggage allowance, you can pre-purchase extra baggage allowance. You can purchase extra baggage allowance through Manage my Booking up to 24 hours before departure and at Royal Brunei’s Ticketing Offices up to 4 hours before departure.

You can add to your booking 5 kg, 10 kg, 20 kg or 35 kg of excess baggage at an attractive rate. If you make a date change to your booking, your pre-purchased baggage allowance will be transferred to the new date. If you cancel your booking, you will be refunded for the pre-purchased baggage allowance provided that your flight has not been used.

The charge for pre-purchased baggage allowances is lower than if you pay for excess baggage at the airport.
