Economy class passengers bound for US, Canada and Mexico can now check in two pieces of baggage for free on Air France-KLM and Delta Airlines.

According to a press release, the maximum permissible weight per baggage has been set at 23 kg. Earlier, the free allowance for economy class passengers was capped at 23 kg for one piece of baggage.

“We are constantly looking at ways to fulfil the needs of our customers and provide the best possible service to them. Revising our baggage allowance to North America is one such step in that direction,” said Yeshwant Pawar, General Manager, Air France-KLM.

Members of the frequent flyer programmes of Air France-KLM and Delta Airlines can carry an additional check-in bag above their permissible baggage allowance limit.

There is no change to the per person baggage allowance for passengers flying in premium economy and business class, the company said.
