About this tool
Work out Turkish Airlines excess baggage by kilogram or by piece, with pooled allowances and the online discount applied.
This estimator prices Turkish Airlines excess baggage using the rule that decides everything else: the route, not the cabin, picks the system. Journeys with one end in the Americas are assessed under the IATA piece concept for the whole itinerary — a fixed number of bags with a 23 kg or 32 kg ceiling on each — while the rest of the network runs on the weight concept, where a single kilogram allowance covers all your bags and anything above it is billed per kilo. It pools allowances across everyone on the booking and applies the advance-purchase discount so you can see what buying early actually saves.

Enter the percentage your booking quotes and see the per-kilo rate and the total saving side by side.
There is no single rate — Turkish Airlines sets excess charges by route band and by the currency of the point of sale, so an extra kilo from Istanbul to Berlin costs a different amount from the same kilo to Delhi. The consistent part is that weight bought through manage-booking before departure is sold at a discount to the desk rate, which is why this tool takes the airport rate and the discount percentage from your own booking.
Both, and the route decides. An itinerary with one end in North, Central or South America is assessed under the piece concept for the entire journey — typically two bags of up to 23 kg in Economy and two of up to 32 kg in Business — including the legs on the Istanbul side. Every other route uses the weight concept, where the ticket grants a total in kilograms and you may split it across as many bags as you like within the 32 kg per-piece limit.
Yes. Passengers travelling together on the same booking and the same flight are assessed on their combined allowance, so two 30 kg tickets give the pair 60 kg between them rather than 30 kg each. A 34 kg case therefore costs nothing extra if a companion checks only 24 kg — although that individual bag still has to be under the 32 kg per-piece ceiling to be accepted.
32 kg. A single piece heavier than that is refused at a standard check-in desk on manual-handling grounds, and buying excess baggage does not create an exemption. The remedy is to redistribute the contents into two bags that are each under the ceiling, or to ship the item as air cargo, which is booked separately from your ticket.
