Qatar Airways (QR) in short. Cabin allowance 7kg, up to 50 x 37 x 25cm. A checked bag is included in the base fare. Checked baggage is priced by weight. Excess at the airport counter starts at ฿1,010.7 per kg.

This page is one record in a maintained database of 15 airlines flying to, from and within Thailand. Every figure below was read from Qatar Airways’s own published documents on 2026-07-26 and is re-checked on a 90-day cycle. Where we do not have a figure, this page says so rather than guessing.

Qatar Airways carry-on allowance

Weight 7kg (per-piece (Economy))
Dimensions 50 x 37 x 25cm
Pieces 1
Personal item allowed — Qatar publishes an explicit free personal-items list on top of the 7 kg cabin bag; Emirates does not publish an equivalent for Economy. Caveat: a laptop is expected to fit inside the carry-on – ‘if a laptop bag is carried separately, it will be considered’ as the carry-on piece.

Checked baggage: what is included

Qatar Airways prices checked baggage by weight. Every kilogram over your allowance is billable, so a small overage still costs money. The base fare includes a checked allowance.

How Qatar Airways compares with the rest of the market

Cabin allowance is the market standard. 7kg is what 12 of the 15 carriers we track allow, low-cost and full-service alike.
A checked bag is in the fare, as it is on every full-service carrier we track. All 15 records split cleanly: full-service fares include the hold, low-cost fares do not.
Priced by weight, like 10 of the 15 carriers here. The 5 piece-based carriers ask a different question of you.
North Asia & Gulf excess at ฿1,010.7 per kg is above the market mean of ฿683.63 per kg (the Excess Fee Index for this route class).

Comparisons are computed from the same database, so they move when a carrier’s published rate moves. The full cross-airline picture is in The Thailand Baggage Guide.

How this record is maintained: 6 published sources, all read on 2026-07-26, next due 2026-10-24 on a 90-day cycle owned by Den. Airlines change baggage rules and fee tables without notice and a fare bought inside a booking flow can differ from the published card — confirm with Qatar Airways before you fly. Some detail for this carrier is not yet in our record; where that is the case this page says so rather than estimating.
