Qantas is introducing a new domestic checked baggage policy will take effect for tickets issued from 1 December 2010 for travel from 1 June 2011. This new policy will move the existing domestic checked baggage policy from a weight based system to a piece and weight based system.
There will also be some changes to checked baggage allowances on international routes (excluding to/from The Americas) to align with the new domestic checked baggage policy.
