AIRLINE BAGGAGE
ALLOWANCE
The guidelines below are for travel between the U.S. and Canada to
Asia. It is general and may vary depending on the airlines. It is
advisable to check directly with the airline for specific
requirements as it may change at any time. Business and First Class
are allowed additional bags and weight on some airlines. Unless
otherwise noted, allowances are per piece of luggage.
CHECKED BAGGAGE
Standard allowance is 2 pieces with maximum size** of 62”. Weight
ranges from 50 to 70 lbs per piece depending on the airline and
class.
**Maximum size (e.g., 62”) means the total of length, height and
width. This applies to both carry-on and checked baggage. For
instance, 22” + 20” + 20” = 62” is the standard for checked baggage
on most airlines. Dimensions for discount airlines may vary. It’s
always best to check your individual airline’s requirements.
Excess, overweight or oversize pieces of checked luggage are charged
a fee, depending on the airline. Most airlines have maximum baggage
requirements for excess weight, ranging from 70 – 100 lbs per piece.
Do not store film in checked luggage to protect it from x-ray
machines.
HANDCARRY BAGGAGE
Each passenger is entitled to one bag and one personal item**
measuring 45” bag. Weight is from 15-25 lbs per piece depending on
airline.
**Personal items include but are
not limited to: a briefcase, handbag, laptop in carry case, small
backpack, camera and bag, one infant article (diaper bag, car seat).
In addition, passengers may board with a coat, reading material,
small bag of food and mobility aids provided passenger is dependent
on them.
If your bag is an unusual shape but
still within the maximum size measurement, it still may be rejected
because it may not fit. This not only means you will have to check
it, but you may be charged an “excess baggage” fee.
Passengers must be able to lift
their carryon baggage to fit in overhead compartment storage.
GENERAL PACKING TIPS
Do not lock your checked luggage, since it may need to be opened for
inspection.
Always place ID tags both inside and outside of all luggages.
Do not overstuff, which can add inches
Take into consideration wheels and carry handles, when measuring
your luggage.
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
Domestic Flights and Flights Departing the US
3 oz bottle or less for all liquids, sprays and aerosols;
1 quart-sized, zip-top, clear plastic bag; 1 bag per passenger taken
out of carry-on and placed in screening bin separately.
Prescription medications, baby formula and food, and medical- or
disability-related items are allowed in larger quantities but must
be declared.
Limit quantities to what is needed on flight.
Gifts should not be wrapped so they can be inspected.
Any liquid, gel or aerosol purchased after you pass through security
is allowed on board.
Due to Transportation Safety
Administration screening requirements, there are now luggage
acceptance cutoff times, ranging from 30-60 minutes before departure
(depending on city, or domestic or international flight), after
which the airline neither guarantees that the luggage will make it
onto your plane nor is responsible for shipping the luggage to you
if you do not arrive at the same time as your luggage. Customers
arriving at the boarding gate less than 15 minutes before departure
(30 minutes for international) may lose their reservation. Check
airline for approximate processing time.
