How to Use This Tool
- Enter your bag’s weight and select the unit (lb or kg).

Airline weight limits vary by carrier, route, cabin class, and even fare tier, so always confirm the specific limit with your airline before you fly.
Did You Know?
- Many airlines also charge oversize fees separately from overweight fees, based on the bag’s total linear dimensions (length + width + height).
- Some international routes allow two free checked bags in economy, while many domestic US routes only allow one, or none, without a fee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these limits accurate for my specific airline?
These are typical published limits used as a general reference; always check your airline’s own baggage policy for your specific route and fare.
What happens if my bag is over the limit?
Most airlines charge an overweight fee, which can be substantial; some may require you to repack into another bag or pay a premium at check-in.
