    Check-in baggage allowance

    When and where should I pay for the extra baggage?

    For selected routes, you can purchase extra baggage allowance in advance and enjoy a discount of up to 10% while purchasing tickets on our website, by logging into Manage Booking on our website or the Cathay Pacific app, or by contacting Customer Care up to 24 hours before departure. Please refer to our Prepaid extra baggage page for further details.

    Otherwise, you will need to pay the regular extra baggage charges at the check-in counter.
