Dubai, Apr 3: Following the new instructions by Dubai Airport Authorities, passengers flying to Dubai airport are strictly advised to adhere to the new baggage regulations that came into effect on April 1 to avoid delays.

Starting April 1, a specific charge has been introduced for each Out of Gauge (OOG) baggage here for passengers at check-in counters. A fee of AED 45 per piece would be charged. The applicable amount if any, would be paid by the passengers directly at the airport during check-in.

Following baggage with dimensions and weight restrictions will be considered OOG:

· Baggage that does not meet the minimum dimension ie 30cm X 30cm X 7.5 cm

· Baggage that exceeds 75 cm in any one of the sides or a baggage with sum of linear dimensions exceeding 158 cm (length + breadth + height)

· Baggage meeting the dimensional requirements but weighing less than 2 kg

· Baggage that are fragile, do not have at least one flat surface or that can damage or slow down the baggage system will be treated as OOG

· All TVs, flat panel displays (max permitted screen size – 43 inch)

    Usually one passenger has one check-in bag of decent size, if it does not meet the specifications you pay AED 45, which is not at all a big sum, we end up paying speeding fine @620AED per fine and circa AED 100+ for parking fines, on an average one will have 2-3 fines a year, so the charge of AED 45 is too minuscule compared to many other charges that we pay on a regular basis.
