Quick answer
- International: depends on route and fare. At least 20 kg in Economy fares with checked baggage, at least 30 kg in Business. Some EcoFly fares include no checked bag.
- Domestic in Türkiye: EcoFly 15 kg, ExtraFly 20 kg, PrimeFly 25 kg, Business 30 kg.
- Cabin bag: 8 kg on every fare.
- Size: up to 158 cm per bag (length + width + height), never over 32 kg.
Why Turkish Airlines has no single international number
Turkish Airlines sells branded fares (EcoFly, ExtraFly, FlexFly, PrimeFly, BusinessFly, BusinessPrime) and its fare rules say the checked allowance "varies depending on the route". Some routes count kilos, others count bags. That is why two people on the same aircraft can have different allowances.
