US Domestic Airline Baggage Allowance?
I have been checking to see what the Domestic Flight baggage allowance is for flights in the US.
I will be using mainly United Airlines and American Airlines.
Some sites are saying 23kg others are saying 18kg.
To make matters even worse the UA website is broken and does not detail any information I require.
Was hoping someone with experience can confirm what the allowance is and what is the fee for checked in baggage?
Best Answer
Typically, airlines in the USA use a piece-based baggage allowance policy. Each piece can usually be up to 50 pounds (23 kg). However, this policy may vary by ailrine, and in many cases, a fee is required for checking bags. On some of the ultra-low-cost airlines, you may even be charged for your carry-on baggage/hand luggage.
Kayak, FareCompare, and Airfare Watchdog maintain baggage fee and/or allowance tables. These sites link to airline websites for more details.
