Luggage Restrictions
We are constantly asked:
What are the size and weight restrictions for my luggage?
Since the Airlines luggage restrictions are going through a recent period of frequent change, you should check directly with your Airline as to size, weight and number of bags that you can check and carry-on. When you are on an Advantage International, LLC trip, you are only allowed one checked bag and one carry-on.
In many cases, the Airlines have added new limits on both carry-on and checked baggage. You should check, but most Airlines limit their carry-on bags to a range of 14" to 16" high, 21" to 24" wide, and 8" to 9" deep. The lower limits are for under seat storage and larger limits for the more generous overhead compartment. A 45" total (height+width+depth) can be used as a basic guideline to see if your bag will be allowed as a carry-on.
Most Airlines have a carry-on weight limit of 40 pounds and a checked baggage weight limit of 70 pounds and no more then 28". Many Airlines limits vary if you are taking a domestic or international flight, are flying first, business or coach class or if you are a member of their premium membership clubs.
All limits are much more strictly enforced then in the past. Bags are weighed at check-in and many Airlines have placed bag-sizers at their gates. If your carry-on bags are too big, you'll have to check them and that might cause them to be classified as "extra bags" which usually carries an extra charge. If you bags are too heavy, you can be charged a rather high overweight luggage charge or they can even be denied.
Also be careful and not overstuff your bags. A carry-on bag that is expanded or overstuffed may not fit in the overhead and will be required to be checked. This can lead to additional charges, delays or even lost baggage. Pack Light and Pack Tight, and remember it is not important how you look when you get there, it is that you get there. See you on the plane.
