Checked baggage

Baggage dimensions Each piece of baggage you check in must have linear dimensions (length + height + width) of less than 158cm or 62in. A bag is considered oversized if its linear dimensions are between 158cm-204cm or 62in-80in. It may be subject to a surcharge. For even larger pieces of baggage that exceed 204cm or 80in, MASKargo is able to assist you.

The maximum single item weight for checked baggage with MH is 32 kg (70 lbs) The number of bags you can check in is determined by your cabin class. Do check the weight limits before booking your ticket to ensure you have enough baggage allowance for your journey. If your luggage is longer or wider than the dimensions specified above, you may need to ship it as freight instead of baggage.

Should you require it, we’d be happy to transport any personal medical equipment such as wheelchairs and walking aids; or infant care equipment such as strollers, baby seats, car seats and playpens – at no additional cost. This service is available to all ticket holders. Please see below for additional details.

Note: There are two standard checked baggage allowance concepts: a) Weight Concept (WC) which is measured by the total weight of checked baggage (shown as weight amount on the ticket, for example, 30 kg). b) Piece Concept (PC) is measured by the number of pieces of checked baggage (shown as PC on the ticket).
