| Airline Luggage Restrictions: Updated baggage restrictions for carry-ons and checked luggageLuggageGuy.com: Carry-On and Checked Baggage Regulations
Updated August 2006
Remember to always check with your airline for specific information regarding your trip. Happy Traveling...
Carry-On Baggage: Size and piece-count matters. In general one item may be carried onboard the plane per passenger. The dimensions vary slightly by carrier (airline) and by aircraft type and layout. However, it is usually permitted to bring onboard an item that is 9” x 14” x 22” (note ALL luggage marked as “Carry-On” at LuggageGuy.com fit this requirement). Some airlines allow bags up to 25” in height onboard. Most airlines request that this carry-on bag should weigh less than 40 pounds, when filled.
Additionally, most airlines allow for one additional “personal item” to be brought onboard such as a briefcase, purse, diaper bag, outer garments, or a small shoulder bag. This item MUST fit under the seat.
New Information regarding LIQUIDS: As of August, 2006, new rules ban almost all liquids, creams and gels from being carried aboard flights. Those items must be put in your checked bags. Some exceptions include baby formula and some required medications.
Updated September 26th, 2006 There are two major changes: 1. Travelers may now carry through security checkpoints travel-size toiletries (3 ounces or less) that fit comfortably in ONE, QUART-SIZE, clear plastic, zip-top bag. 2. After clearing security, travelers can now bring beverages and other items purchased in the secure boarding area on-board aircraft. Click here for more details.
The list of prohibited items is updated here: TSA Prohibited Items
Checked Baggage – Domestic (USA): There are four issues to be aware of; piece-count, size, weight and check-in timing. In general you may check two pieces of luggage per person - luggage NOT to be carried into the main compartment but placed in the baggage compartment of the aircraft. These bags should be less than 62 linear inches (height + width + length), usually a 29” Suitcase will work. However, each bag must also weigh less than 50 pounds, or a penalty will be assessed, frequently the penalty is greater than $50. For Suitcases, click here.
Additional bags beyond the two bag limit will be charged a minimum of $80 each.
Also, please note that most airlines and airports insist that you check your luggage onto your flight at least 30 minutes before scheduled departure time, many airports now require 45 minutes. Each checked bag must have the name of the person traveling affixed to the outside of the bag (most LuggageGuy.com suitcases have ID Tags for this purpose, and we recommend you have your name and address on a piece of paper on the inside or your checked bags, as well.
