SriLankan Airlines doubles free baggage allowance for passengers

SriLankan Airlines has announced an increase in free baggage allowance for return passengers flying out of Qatar.
Travellers who purchase their tickets in Doha are now entitled to carry 40 kg of baggage on their return journey; double the amount of the previous allowance.
SriLankan Airlines Manager for Qatar, Mr. Lakshman Weerasooriya, believes that the extra allowance will provide an incentive for passengers to choose the carrier over other Middle East airlines. When added to the CAA permitted hand luggage allowance, it means that 47kg of baggage can be brought back on return flights; an additional benefit that is ideal for the summer season, when holidaymakers often want to carry home gifts and purchases from their vacation,' he adds.
SriLankan Airlines is the largest foreign carrier into India, with 90 flights a week to 10 destinations and is currently involved in an aggressive expansion programme for its Middle East operations.
