Native published unit is cm (50 x 37 x 25cm, 7kg); dimIn/weightLb here are DERIVED (cm/2.54, kg*2.20462). Official: 'This measurement includes wheels, handles, and external pockets.' First & Business Class: 2 pieces, each up to 50x37x25cm, per official wording 'weighing no more than 15 kgs' for the pair - read as a COMBINED 15 kg (33 lb) total across both pieces (note: this contrasts with Emirates, whose equivalent Business/First wording is explicitly per-piece; Qatar's grammar applies the 15kg figure to '2 pieces of baggage' collectively, so it is recorded here as combined, flagged for re-verification). Brazil-ticketed flights: Economy allowance rises to 1 piece up to 10 kg (22 lb).
Qatar Airways explicitly allows personal items IN ADDITION to the carry-on baggage allowance. Official wording: 'in addition to the carry-on baggage allowance, the following personal items may also be carried as carry-on (hand) baggage: one lady's handbag or one small briefcase; one coat, cape or blanket; one umbrella; one pair of crutches or a walking stick; one small camera or binoculars; limited reading material; an infant's carrying basket; duty-free items purchased on the day of your flight.' No official dimensions or weight limit are published for these items - dims/weight left null rather than importing a forum-estimated number.
A full carry-on is allowed on Qatar Airways' lowest fare.
Qatar's official baggage/allowance.html page states a flat 7 kg/1-piece cabin allowance for 'Economy class' with no carve-out for a lowest promo fare; no evidence found this session of a cabin-bag-only restriction on Qatar's cheapest Economy fare (unlike some US carriers' Basic Economy). CHECKED baggage does vary by Economy fare family per third-party sources (Lite/Classic/Convenience/Comfort tiers, roughly 20-35 kg on weight-concept routes), but Qatar's own official pages did not publish these tier-by-tier kg numbers this session, so that detail is NOT carried into the numeric checkedBag fields to avoid reporting an unverified figure as fact - re-verify against qatarairways.com/en/fare-families.html on a future pass if the fare-family breakdown is needed.
