Airline Baggage Rules

These are generalizations of many different airlines' specific baggage rules. Please ask the airlines about specific airlines and flights if you are close to any of these limits.

Domestic Flights:(US & Europe)
 Checked Bags: The general rule for domestic flights is you can check 3 bags and carry-on none, check 2 bags and carry-on one, or check one bag and carry-on two. The checked bags cannot exceed 70 pounds per bag, and the dimensions cannot exceed 45" x 55" x 62" for the largest bag. The second largest bag cannot have a dimension that exceeds 55", and the third checked bag cannot exceed 45".

Carry-on Bags: The total weight of all the carry-on bags combined cannot exceed 40 pounds on some airlines, but others allow a single bag to weigh up to 50 pounds. The maximum allowable dimensions are 22" x 9" x 14". A briefcase is considered one carry-on bag, but a normal sized woman's purse is not. Some airlines allow coach class travelers only one carry-on bag.


International Flights:
 Checked Bags: 2 pieces, maximum weight of 70 pounds per bag. The largest piece of luggage cannot exceed 62" in any dimension, and the second piece of luggage cannot exceed 55" in any dimension..
