What Are the Excess Baggage Charges of Emirates Airlines?

Emirates Airlines is the flag carrier of UAE and is based in Dubai. The airline flies globally with flights operated by itself and its codeshare partners. The airline is known for providing a top-class flying experience to passengers, across all cabin classes of travel. It also provides free baggage allowances for carry-on and check-in baggage and specifies the weight, size, and weight limits within which these have to be carried. If a passenger wants to take more baggage, then the airline charges for it. This excess baggage charge is levied for overweight, oversized, and extra number of bags. These prices are higher when paid at the airport during check-in and are discounted by 50-60% when bought in advance of travel dates. Excess baggage can be pre-booked online and contact or retail centers. These are applicable for adult and child passengers, not for infants and for flights which are operated and marketed by Emirates.
