How to Understand Airline Baggage Policies
Understand cabin and checked baggage rules and avoid excess-weight fees.
Baggage Depends on the Fare
Some tickets include only cabin baggage, while others include checked baggage. Review the booking class, not only the airline name.
Weight and Dimensions
Size limits matter as much as weight, especially for cabin bags. Weigh luggage at home and leave room for purchases.
Restricted Items
Pack liquids, medicine, and electronics according to airport rules, and keep documents and money out of checked baggage.
