Pay Emirates Excess Baggage From Pakistan: USD 15 to 40 a Kilo, Cheaper Online

Short answer: At the airport, Emirates charges excess baggage from South Asia, including Pakistan, at USD 15 a kilo to the Middle East, USD 25 to Europe or the Far East, and USD 40 to Australia and New Zealand. Buying extra kilos online first can save up to 45 percent.

Ten extra kilos of gifts and clothes can cost more than a second ticket if you wait for the check-in desk. We read the Emirates Pakistan page on buying extra baggage on 14 October 2026. This guide shows the airport rates, the online discount, and how to work out the bill before you leave home.

Airport excess rates run from USD 15 to USD 40 a kilo

Emirates publishes a table of airport rates per kilogram. Pakistan sits in its Middle East and South Asia group. A flight to the Middle East or another South Asian country costs USD 15 a kilo. Europe and the Far East cost USD 25. Australia and New Zealand cost USD 40.

The last column is our own arithmetic from the published per kilo rate. Emirates notes that Larnaca to Malta is USD 15 a kilo, which does not affect Pakistan routes. Rates apply to tickets on the weight concept, which covers most routes from Pakistan.

Buying online first is cheaper

Emirates says you can save up to 45 percent on airport check-in baggage fees by buying extra allowance in advance. The discount is only available online or at Emirates sales centres, up to 4 hours before departure.

Emirates sells extra weight in blocks of 5 kg, up to a maximum of 50 kg. Its own example is a London to India trip, which gets a 35 percent discount for an extra 5 kg and 45 percent for an extra 20 kg. We did not find a Pakistan specific price list on the page, so open Manage your booking to see your exact fee.

Follow these steps to buy extra kilos online

Open Manage your booking with your booking reference, choose extra baggage, pick the number of kilos in 5 kg blocks, and pay by card in the same currency as your ticket. You can do this up to 4 hours before the flight.

1. Weigh your packed bags at home and note the overweight in kilos.
2. Round up to the next 5 kg block, because Emirates sells weight in 5 kg blocks.
3. Log in to Manage your booking on the Emirates site with your booking reference.
4. Check the fee shown, pay by credit card and save the receipt.
5. Show the receipt at check-in.

Some tickets cannot buy extra baggage

Emirates says you can buy extra allowance on adult and child tickets but not on infant tickets. The ticket must be issued by Emirates, with a number starting 176, and the flights must be operated and marketed by Emirates.

If part of your trip is flown by another airline, that airline's rules apply for that part. Before you repack at the airport, remember that a power bank must stay in the cabin, as the page on power bank rules on flights from Pakistan explains.

Work out the bill before you pack

Weigh your bags at home, subtract your fare allowance, and multiply the overweight by the airport rate for your route. Then compare that figure with the online fee shown in Manage your booking. Buy online whenever it is lower.

Take a family flying to London on a Saver fare, which gives 25 kg a person. Four people have a combined 100 kg allowance. If the bags weigh 112 kg, the extra 12 kg at the airport rate of USD 25 is USD 300. Round up to blocks of 5 kg online, and the discount of up to 45 percent can change that bill a lot. This is our example, not an Emirates quote.

Pay by card, not cash

Emirates says some airports may not accept cash or debit cards for extra services, so carry a credit card. You can also use a mix of Skywards Miles and cash to lower the amount, and in most cases you can pay at the desk in local currency at the current exchange rate.

Leave extra time at the airport if your bags may be over. Leaving Pakistan with foreign currency has its own limits, which our page on the foreign currency limit when leaving Pakistan explains, so do not plan to pay the fee from a large cash roll.
