People's Baggage Allowance Policy

Another factor that all airlines agree with is that passengers are allowed to bring a specific number of bags with them during the flight. However, the number of bags varies from one airline to the next; therefore, it is recommended that before one takes a flight, they should verify with an airline. The following are the luggage allowances for the top airlines in the US on carry-on and checked bags: Alaska Airlines – on checked bags passengers are allowed to bring and check in two bags free of charge. The passenger’s two bags combined shall measure 62 linear inches or 157 cm and each bag should not weigh more than 50 pounds . American Airlines – on checked bags, one is allowed to carry a personal item, and two carry-on items, each to measure 45 linear inches and weigh 50 pounds. Delta Airlines and United Airlines – Allow their passengers two bags weight 50 pounds and measure 28x22x14 inches. Southwest Airlines – on checked bags passengers can carry two carry-on bags each measuring 24x16x10 inches and weigh 50 pounds .
