Baggage Regulations

Carry On Baggage
In general two items may be carried onboard the plane per passenger. The dimensions vary slightly by carrier and by aircraft type and layout. However, it is usually permitted to bring onboard an item that is 9 x 14 x 22. Most airlines request that this carry-on bag should weigh less than 40 pounds, when filled.

Additionally, most airlines allow for one additional personal item to be brought onboard such as a briefcase, purse, diaper bag, outer garments, or a small shoulder bag. This item MUST fit under the seat.

How much carry-on baggage is allowed on my flight?
Airlines have different policies for baggage allowances. Generally, you will be allowed to take one (1) carry-on bag and one (1) personal item (such as a purse or briefcase) on board with you. The maximum size carry-on bag for most airlines is 45 linear inches (the total of the height, width, and depth of the bag). Anything larger must be checked. Check our Airline Fee Chart for the airlines' policy and fees for checked luggage.

Checked Baggage - Domestic (USA): In general you may check two pieces of luggage per person - luggage NOT to be carried into the main compartment but placed in the baggage compartment of the aircraft. These bags should be less than 62 linear inches (height + width + length), usually a 29 inch Suitcase will work. However, each bag must also weigh 50 pounds or less, or a penalty will be assessed.

Each checked bag must have the name of the person traveling affixed to the outside of the bag and we recommend you have your name and address on a piece of paper on the inside or your checked bags, as well.

Checked Baggage - International: In general you may check two pieces of luggage per person - luggage NOT to be carried into the main compartment but placed in the baggage compartment of the aircraft. These bags should be less than 62 linear inches (height + width + length), usually a 29 inch Suitcase will work. However, each bag must also weigh less than 50 pounds (70 pounds on some international flights), or a penalty will be assessed.

Each checked bag must have the name of the person traveling affixed to the outside of the bag, we recommend you have your name and address on a piece of paper on the inside or your checked bags, as well.

Some checked items are assessed a special handling charge because of size, fragility, or other handling requirements. Examples are: Bicycles, Golf Bags.
