Step by Step

How to book your Keyboard on Emirates

Practical Tips

Good to Know

A 61-key stage piano in its case weighs around 15–20 kg, well within Emirates' 30 kg free baggage. Take pedals and cables as cabin carry-on. Lithium batteries over 100 Wh must be carried in the cabin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an 88-key piano covered by free baggage?
Possibly by weight (around 25 kg), but total dimensions often exceed 150 cm linear. Special baggage approval recommended.
Can I take a MIDI keyboard in the cabin?
Yes, if it meets carry-on dimensions (55x38x20 cm) and weight (7 kg).
