Airlines traveling from India to Europe, Middle East, Fareast and Asian countries allow their passengers to carry 23 kg as free allowance and that traveling across Atlantic Ocean allows passengers to carry 2 pieces of maximum 64 kgs as free allowance. One piece weighs up to 32 kgs. Any thing in excess to the above allowances is called as excess baggage carried by any passenger.
