Checked Luggage

What To Know About Checked Luggage

As of May 2008, all the Major U.S. Airlines have enacted a one checked bag policy, and expect to generate an additional $75MM in revenue from flyers that check an additional bag. In addition, the weight restrictions for checked bags have been reduced to 50 pounds, providing another plentiful profit stream for people with outdated luggage.

Understanding Checked Luggage Regulations Can Save you Up To $160 Round-Trip

Delta Airlines currently has the most costly overweight policy, which will cost you $160 round-trip for exceeding a 50 pound weight limit. Most other airlines range between $50 - $100 for a round-trip ticket for overweight luggage. Be sure to check your airline before you fly to make sure you are within their limits.
