For two pieces of luggage, their dimensions cannot exceed 270cm; whereas if you travel with three pieces of luggage, their total dimensions must be limited to 405cm.
What baggage for infants traveling on Qantas flights (without reservation)?
Regarding children (those who have not yet reached the age of 2), they benefit from a baggage allowance of 10kg on all Qantas flights.
Extra Baggage: Upgrade your baggage allowance by purchasing excess baggage online
Carrying additional baggage on board a Qantas aircraft is possible despite restrictions, but incurs a fee. It is therefore important to remember that buying excess baggage online is not as expensive as the penalty applied at the airport in the event of excess baggage.
