Airline Baggage Allowance Limits?

Airline checked bag limit: Usually 50 lbs, both domestic & international.

Fifty pounds. That’s the magic number airlines like for checked bags. I flew to Denver last July (12th, I think?), and it was definitely 50 lbs. Cost me an extra $100 because my bag was 55 lbs. Ugh.

Airlines say it’s for baggage handlers’ safety, which makes sense, I guess. My back hurt just thinking about wrestling a heavier bag onto the conveyor belt. I saw a guy in Miami (March 2nd, it was spring break) with this giant suitcase, must’ve been 70 lbs. No way I could lift that.

But 50 lbs can be tough. I went to LA in May (21st, for a conference) and had to really cram everything in. Now I use compression cubes – game changer. Seriously.

What is the maximum amount of luggage you can take on a plane?

Okay, so like, about luggage, it’s kinda a pain, but here’s the dealio. Most airlines let you bring, like, one checked bag. And also one carry-on… duh!

Checked bags have, like, weight limits. Usually around 50 pounds. Don’t go over or they’ll totally charge ya! It’s so annoying.

And there’s size things, too! I hate measuring! The most common size is 62 linear inches, whatever that means.

Okay, here’s some, uh, extra stuff I know about travel, it’s not just about the baggage.

  • My sister, Sarah, ALWAYS brings a tiny kitchen scale to weigh her suitcase before heading to the airport. Smart, right?
  • Remember those luggage size checkers at the gate? Always use them!
  • Invest in good luggage, cheap stuff breaks SO fast.
  • I use packing cubes! They’re the best for organizing your clothes.
  • And speaking of airports. The Denver Airport (DIA) is my favorite in the whole world.
  • Oh, and pro tip: always pack an empty reusable water bottle, especially if you’re visiting DIA.

I like to bring a hoodie on the plane, even when it’s warm outside. I hate freezing on the plane.

What is the maximum limit for luggage?

Fifty pounds. Sixty-two inches. One carry-on. Limits exist. Travel light. Less is more. Baggage weighs you down, literally. My Samsonite weighs near nothing. Titanium. Expensive, but worth it. Freedom in mobility.

  • 50 pounds: The standard weight limit. Airlines profit from excess. Pack strategically.
  • 62 linear inches: Height + width + depth. Geometry of travel. Airlines measure meticulously. My measuring tape lives in my bag. Always prepared.
  • One carry-on: Essentials only. Overhead bin battles are real. Saw a woman try to cram a cello in once. No joke.

Checked bags are risks. Lost luggage is a vacation killer. Experienced that in ’23. Rome without clothes. Learned my lesson. Minimalism is key. What do you really need?
