Etihad Rail Allows Two Free Bags Regardless of Ticket Type
By Thasmiya
Etihad Rail passengers can carry up to **two items of luggage free of charge**, whether they book a Saver, Value or Flex ticket.
The allowance applies to adults and children aged three and above, making the baggage policy consistent across Etihad Rail’s different fare options.
## **What bags can passengers bring?**
Each eligible passenger can carry:
- One personal item, such as a handbag or laptop bag, that fits under the seat. - One carry-on bag measuring up to **55cm × 40cm × 23cm**, stored in the overhead luggage rack.
The allowance is included at no extra cost and does not change based on the ticket tier selected.
## **Do infants receive a luggage allowance?**
Infants below the age of three do not receive a separate baggage allowance.
Parents and guardians should include an infant’s belongings within their own permitted luggage unless Etihad Rail confirms an additional arrangement before travel.
## **What are the luggage rules?**
Passengers must be able to lift, carry and store their own bags safely.
All luggage should be clearly labelled with the traveller’s name and contact details. Bags must not block aisles, doors or emergency exits.
Passengers carrying additional luggage should contact Etihad Rail in advance, as extra baggage may require prior approval.
## **Does the policy apply to Comfort and Premium Class?**
Yes. Passengers travelling in both **Comfort and Premium Class** can bring up to two free items, regardless of whether they choose a Saver, Value or Flex fare.
Etihad Rail’s onboard facilities include overhead storage for smaller bags and dedicated luggage areas for larger cabin items.
## **What happens when travelling with a pet?**
Pets are permitted only inside an approved carrier measuring no more than **55cm × 40cm × 23cm**.
The pet carrier replaces the passenger’s carry-on allowance, meaning travellers cannot bring both a separate carry-on bag and a pet carrier.
## **Why this matters**
The standard two-bag allowance gives passengers more clarity when comparing ticket options.
Travellers can choose between Saver, Value and Flex based on refund, change and seat-selection benefits without worrying about losing their basic luggage allowance.
