Allowed Baggage size in emirates between India and USA

score:4

Accepted answer

Emirates has the following to say about this, on their website:

If your journey includes any destinations in Canada, North America or South America, different baggage rules apply.

The total dimensions (length + width + height) of each piece must not exceed 150cm (59 inches). You’ll be charged an additional fee for any individual items exceeding dimensions of 150cm (59 inches), up to a maximum of 300cm (118 inches). If an individual item has total dimensions greater than 300cm (118 inches), it can’t be checked in as baggage and will need to be sent as cargo or freight.

If you check in two pieces of luggage (in any of our three classes), the total combined dimensions of both pieces should not exceed 300cm (118 inches).

For travel to and from Canada and North America, you can check in two bags of up to 23kg each in Economy Class, and two bags of up to 32kg each in First Class or Business Class.

Therefore, in your case you bag will be accepted, but you'll be charged a fee as it exceeds the dimensions.

Emirates provides a baggage fee calculator, but this only allows you to purchase extra baggage at a discount. It does not display rates for oversize baggage:

Don't worry about that much of a size difference. The maximum possibility is that if they think your hand-carry is too large they will ask you to book it with the luggage instead of taking it in the cabin.

Emirates employ two types of baggage concept; the first is Weight Concept, and the second Piece Concept. The piece concept is applied when a journey is to any of the destinations in Canada, North America, and South America.

Since your Journey is to a destination (that is New York) in the States, Piece Concept applies.

According to this concept for Economy Class, two pieces of luggage weighing 23 kg each is checked-in. When it comes to dimensions, the total dimensions (height, width, length) of an individual piece should not exceed 150 cm or 59 inches. However, in your case, the total dimensions exceed by 14 cm. Hence, excess baggage allowance is charged.
