| NOTE: The following applies only to travel within the United States unless otherwise stated. Please check with our Reservations personnel for International policies or information not covered below.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.Dimensions, Weight and Number of PieceItinerary Number of Bags Allowed Free Of Charge Size Per Piece Allowed Free Of Charge Maximum Weight Per Piece Free Of ChargeFlights between the U.S. and CanadaFlights to/from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands 2 pieces checked1 piece carry-on 62 in/157 cm (checked)45 in/114 cm (carry-on) 50 lbs/23 kgs.
