What are the checked baggage regulations for domestic airlines?
All of the major airlines that Allcases surveyed have the same basic rules. All allow up to 2 checked bags, some airlines allow 3.
The allowed maximum size and weights are consistent across the airlines:
First piece: The total of L + W + H cannot exceed 62" 70lbs.
Second piece: The total of the L + W + H cannot exceed 55" and 70lbs.
Third piece: The total of the L + W + H cannot exceed 45" and 70lbs.
If you have an oversize or overweight bag, every airline treats it differently, but for bags over 70lbs. you will be charged a penalty fee, while bags over 100lbs. must be sent as cargo.
