  • At airports where baggage is processed by kilogramme, excess baggage charges are calculated as follows: The charge specified for the Zone of the point of departure - Turkey plus the charge specified for the Zone of point or arrival - Turkey.
  
  Example: In a flight from Rome, in Zone 2, to Medina, in Zone 4, 1 kg of excess baggage is calculated as follows: "Zone 2 - Turkey: 5 Euro" + "Zone 4 - Turkey: 10 Euro" = 15 Euro.

  Kilogramme rates are valid for flights taking place between December 1, 2009 and April 30, 2013.
  
  To calculate excess baggage charges the Zone in which the points of departure and arrival are situated must be determined.
  
  MSC (Most Significant Carrier)
  
  If another airline is involved in your whole journey; the most significant carrier’s (MSC) free baggage allowance rule will be applied. MSC is assigned according to which airline operates the most significant and/or longest part of the journey.
  If Turkish Airline is MSC in your journey then Turkish Airline’s free baggage allowance will apply, if another airline is MSC in your journey than the free baggage allowance of that airline will apply.
  
  Please pay attention that the free baggage allowance is shown on your ticket.
