Can I take 2 pieces of checked baggage with Air Algérie?

Traveling with Air Algérie requires a good understanding of its baggage policy. The rules vary depending on the travel class and destination.

Air Algeria's New "Piece Concept" Policy

Since October 2023, Air Algérie has been using the "Piece Concept". The baggage allowance is based on the number of pieces rather than the total weight.

• Hold: Up to 23 kg per item.
• Cabin: 1 piece of luggage per passenger.

Air Algérie baggage dimensions and weight

Luggage Type	Dimensions (cm)	Maximum Weight
Cargo hold	158 cm (L + W + H)	23 kg
Cabin	55 x 35 x 25	10 kg (standard flights)
ATR cabin	40 x 30 x 20	5 kg

Luggage allowance depends on the travel class.

Economy Class

• Included baggage: 1 piece of baggage weighing 23 kg (may be up to 30 kg depending on the destination). 23 kg baggage is therefore more than enough for most economy class journeys.
• Second baggage: Fee applies, to be booked before the flight or at the airport.

"Light" fares do not include any checked baggage, ideal for light travelers.
