Am I allowed to check-in a cardboard box on a flight?

Question

I am flying from Florida to London in a few weeks and need to bring a bedspread set which is packaged in a cardboard box. The box is well taped and will have my details on it etc - will the airline have a problem with me checking in a cardboard box?

I am flying Virgin Atlantic Premium Ecomony and am allowed 2 pieces checked in - one will be my suitcase, one the box (both well within the weight limits) sooo is this OK?

Answer 1

most likely but be prepared for it to be ripped and smashed                          @(*L*)@

Answer 2

I've Been On Aeroplanes Quite Alot And There Was No Problem Of Me Checking In With A Cardboard Box. The Bed Sheets Dont Seem Like They Weigh Much, But Always Check With The Airline How Many KG You Can Check-In Before You Check It In.

Answer 3

Economy and Premium Economy passengers may take 1 piece of hand baggage on board. Individual dimensions not to exceed 23 x 36 x 56cm, (approx 9 x 14 x 22 inches) and 13lb/6kg in weight.
