QUESTION: The airline is gulf air.

Answer
Dear Salim,

At Gulf Air the checked baggage allowances (total weight) are the following:

First Class passengers: 40 kgs
Business Class passengers: 30 kgs
Economy Class passengers: 20 kgs

So with the bags that you described you'll pay excess charges. No bags with more than 32 kgs and 158cms of linear dimensions are accepted.For rates call reservations at phone (03) 8499444 in Riyadh.

Best Regards,
R. Gomes
