Qatar Airways Baggage Policy: Musical Instrument Rules

Musician traveling with your instrument? Here's what the Qatar Airways Baggage Policy says—so you can protect your gear without surprises or extra fees: ?? Cabin Carriage (Carry-On) Small instruments like violins or ukuleles may qualify as carry-on items if they fit within cabin baggage limits: Economy = 1 bag up to 7?kg (15?lb), Business/First = 2 items up to 15?kg combined, dimensions 50×37×25?cm. Cabin approval is space-dependent at boarding, so confirm early—especially on Economy class flights. ?? Checked Instruments Larger instruments must count toward your checked baggage allowance: Economy provides 20–35?kg (or 1–2 × 23?kg on piece-based routes), Business gets 40?kg, First gets 50?kg. Bags over 32?kg are not accepted—split days ahead to avoid refusal or overweight fees (US?$50–65 per bag). Oversize items over 158?cm (Americas/Africa) or 300?cm (other routes) incur extra charges (US?$75–300). ?? Packaging & Fee Tips Use a hard-shell, padded case and add “fragile” labels for extra care. Pre-book excess or oversize baggage online up to 6 hours before flight to save up to 70% compared to airport prices. Weigh and measure your instrument at home with a scale and tape before traveling. ?? Got questions or need assistance?
