Baggage rules help avoid surprise fees and delays. Check them early when planning your trip.

Carry-On Rules

One carry-on bag allowed (max 22 × 14 × 9 inches, including handles and wheels).

One personal item permitted (max 17 × 13 × 8 inches, fits under the seat).

This applies to all fares.

Assistive devices (wheelchairs, strollers) don’t count toward limits and can often be gate-checked free.

Tip: Measure bags at home. Overhead space fills fast on busy flights.

Checked Bags Basics

Up to 2 checked bags standard per passenger.

Max size: 62 inches total (length + width + height).

Max weight: 50 lbs per bag.

Oversized (63–80 inches) or overweight (51–99 lbs) bags cost $150 each.

Bags over these limits may not be accepted.

Special items like golf bags, skis, or musical instruments usually count as one checked bag with no extra oversized fee if within limits.

Checked Bag Fees

Fees depend on fare type, route, and season (off-peak vs. peak).

Domestic, Caribbean, Latin America, Canada routes

First bag: $35–$40 (pre-paid often saves $10).

Second bag: $50–$60 (pre-paid saves $10).

Third bag: $125–$135.

More bags: $150–$160 each.

Transatlantic routes

First bag: Often included except on basic fares ($60–$65).

Second bag: $100–$110.

Additional bags: $200+.

Higher fares (e.g., Mint) or loyalty status often include 1–2 free checked bags (up to 70 lbs each). Pre-pay bags at least 24 hours before departure for savings. Fees are usually non-refundable.

Tip: Adding bags early speeds check-in and reduces cost.

Important Restrictions

Liquids over 3.4 oz go in checked bags (follow security rules).

Peak dates raise fees during holidays and busy seasons.

International rules vary by destination—some limit total bags.

Pet carriers count as your personal item on most fares.

For lost or damaged bags, report immediately. Photograph items before travel as a precaution.
