Baggage Weight Converter: Pounds and Kilograms

Convert pounds and kilograms without rounding away a baggage limit. Compare the result with the unit printed in your airline’s policy.

Near a 50 lb or 23 kg limit, a quick mental conversion can be misleading. Use the exact conversion, then go back to the unit printed by the airline.

Before you start

These tools help you plan. They don’t take payment or decide whether an airline will accept a bag. When a price or limit is missing, check it with the airline.

After you get a result

Compare it with your ticket, the airline flying each leg, and the final price in its booking flow. If you’re flying round trip, check both directions.

What this tool can tell you

One pound equals exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. Converting the number helps you pack, but it doesn’t tell you how an airport scale or a rounded airline label will be applied.

Try an example

50 lb is about 22.68 kg; 23 kg is about 50.71 lb. If you’re close to a limit, use the unit printed in the airline’s policy and leave some room for scale differences.

Open the airline link in your result before you pay. You don’t need to enter a booking number, passport, or payment details here.
