Airline Luggage Restrictions: Here Are the Baggage Fees and Weight Limits for the Top 50 Airlines

The devil is in the details—which couldn't be truer for airline baggage fees and weight restrictions. While there are some similarities across the board, there's no industry standard from airline to airline. Plus, rules and regulations often vary within the same carrier, depending on cabin class, destination, time of booking, and other factors. Sorting out details online can be a massive pain—but we've done all the legwork with our epic list covering the top 50 airlines.

A Quick Disclaimer

While this information is accurate at the time of writing, rules frequently change, so it’s a good to double-check these with your airline through our links. And keep in mind that airline luggage restriction details below apply to standard economy fares, and may differ for other cabin classes or for travelers with frequent flyer or other benefits. They also don’t take overweight baggage or similar exceptions into account, or pre-travel baggage fee discounts that might be available.
