Answer
if you have a paper ticket for your flight, the baggage allowance will be displayed on the bottom right corner of your ticket. If you have an e-ticket, please check with your airline or view the links below.

Passengers travelling Economy Class are usually permitted a maximum allowance of 20 kg (44 lbs) and passengers travelling Business Class a maximum of 30kg (66 lbs) without extra charge

These weight restrictions apply to most airlines operating to and from all countries with the exception of the United States and Canada, where passengers may check in two pieces of luggage that do not exceed 158 cm (length + width + height) each.

Most airlines will not accept individual items of baggage weighing over 32kg (70 lbs). The individual bag limit does not affect the total baggage weight allowance set by your airline. Passengers who need to check in items exceeding the 32kg/70 lbs weight limit, such as sporting equipment, should make special arrangements with their airline in advance.

Airbookers recommends that all passengers check the weight of their bag before leaving for the airport, as you may be asked to re-pack your bag if it exceeds 32kg.

If you are travelling with two different airlines, or the weight limits differ from one connecting flight to the other, then you will be required to take the lesser amount.
