Complete Guide

How Much Luggage Can You Take on a Plane?

Baggage allowances depend on the airline, route, ticket type and cabin class.

There is no universal luggage weight limit for every flight. Airlines can have different rules for checked baggage, carry-on luggage and personal items.

Your baggage allowance can also depend on your fare, cabin class, destination and frequent-flyer status. Before traveling, check the baggage allowance associated with your specific booking.

What Is Checked Baggage Allowance?

Checked baggage allowance is the amount of luggage an airline permits you to check into the aircraft baggage hold under the conditions of your ticket.

What Happens If Luggage Is Overweight?

If your suitcase exceeds the permitted weight, the airline may require you to remove items, redistribute items, pay an excess baggage charge or follow another baggage procedure.

Overweight baggage fees are different between airlines and routes. This calculator therefore does not provide airline-specific fee prices.

How to Reduce Suitcase Weight

  • Remove clothing you do not need.
  • Choose lightweight and versatile clothing.
  • Use travel-size toiletries when appropriate.
  • Avoid packing duplicate electronics.
  • Weigh your suitcase before leaving home.
  • Check your airline's current baggage policy.

Carry-On vs Checked Baggage

Checked baggage is handed to the airline before the flight and transported in the aircraft's baggage hold. Carry-on baggage is taken into the passenger cabin.

Airlines may apply separate weight and size limits to checked baggage, carry-on bags and personal items.

International Baggage Allowance

International flights can have different baggage rules depending on the airline, destination, fare and cabin. Always review the baggage information on your booking.

Why Weigh Your Suitcase Before a Flight?

Weighing your suitcase before leaving home gives you a chance to remove or redistribute items if your bag is above the permitted weight.
