Your checked luggage allowance depends on your cabin class and is detailed on your ticket. The maximum size for any checked item is 158 cm (length + width + height), and no single piece may weigh more than 32 kg due to local regulations in Kazakhstan. Luggage exceeding size or weight limits, or classified as special items (e.g., sports equipment, weapons, live animals), requires prior approval and payment based on applicable rates.

  • Business Class: 2 pieces, up to 32 kg each.
  • Economy Sleeper: 2 pieces, up to 23 kg each.
  • Economy Class: 1 piece, up to 23 kg.

For routes involving multiple airlines or code-share flights, luggage policies follow the rules of the operating carrier. Check with your travel agent or airline for specific policies if your journey includes different carriers.

Luggage exceeding 32 kg must be repacked or transported via Air Astana Cargo Services. Always review your allowance and applicable restrictions before traveling.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if my carry-on luggage exceeds size, weight, or quantity limits?

Your carry-on will be checked at boarding. If it exceeds the rules, it will be placed in the aircraft's cargo hold. You must remove and keep items such as spare/loose lithium batteries, electronic smoking devices, heat-producing items, lighters, matches, passports, travel documents, valuable items, and essential medications with you in the cabin.

Can I carry televisions or large electrical items in the cabin?

No, televisions and large technical/electrical equipment cannot be transported in the cabin. Contact Air Astana's cargo sales department at cargo@airastana.com for assistance.

What is the rule for carrying liquids in the cabin?‍

You can carry liquids in containers of up to 100 ml each, with a total volume not exceeding 1 litre. The containers must be packed in a resealable, transparent bag. Restrictions apply to items such as gels, sprays, creams, and similar substances. Exceptions include medications, baby food, and liquids bought in duty-free shops (sealed with receipts).

What items can I carry free of charge in addition to my luggage?‍
