Why is There a Free Baggage Allowance?
The standard free baggage allowance is the maximum number, size, and weight of bags that each customer is allowed with no additional charge. We have based this allowance on extensive studies of variables that influence the maximum capacity of baggage on an aircraft. These variables include size of aircraft cargo compartments, dimensions of the doors, fuel requirements, typical number of passengers on board, and government regulations. Our evaluation resulted in the establishment of a standard free baggage allowance that is applied to all flights. Demensions, Weight and Number of Pieces The maximum amount of baggage each ticketed passenger is allowed free of charge is 2 pieces checked and one carry-on. The size limitation of your luggage is calculated by adding the total outside dimensions of each bag, that is, length + width + height. Type of baggage Number Allowed Size Allowed (length + width + height) Maximum free weight allowed Carry-on 1 45 in/114 cm 40 lbs/18 kgs. Checked 2 62 in/
