Continenal Airlines baggage question!

Question

I have 3 luggages with me. 1 large suitcase, 1 small suitcase, and 1 carry on.

I know the carry on is free, but what about the other two?

I know when its over 50 lbs you have to pay, but how much?

Im a bit confused.

Answer 1

Customers who travel in Economy Class with checked baggage over 50 lbs (23 kg) and not exceeding 70 lbs (32 kg) will be charged at the rate of $50 per piece. These charges are in addition to any charge assessed for additional or oversized baggage. Baggage weighing more than 70 lbs (32 kg) will not be accepted as checked baggage.

Continental has implemented a $25 fee for customers checking a second bag when traveling on Economy fare tickets purchased on or after April 5, 2008 for travel within the 50 U.S., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada.

The $25 fee also applies when traveling on Economy fare tickets purchased on or after May 8, 2008 between Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America* (excluding Brazil) and the 50 U.S., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada.

Certain customers are exempt from paying the new fee and will be allowed to check second bags free of charge (bags must meet weight and size restrictions). These customers include:

OnePass Elite members

SkyTeam Elite and Elite Plus members

Any customer traveling on a ticket purchased in Y class of service

Continental Airlines Presidential Plus credit card holders

Active military personnel traveling on orders

Any customer traveling to/from Brazil

Customers traveling with the above exempt customers are also exempt as long as they are traveling in the same reservation. This exemption will not apply to group reservations including 10 or more customers.

All customers may continue to check one bag free of charge. Additionally, there is no charge for car seats, strollers and wheelchairs.

Try also calling Continental to check if there's updates regarding baggage fees...

Answer 2

The price will probably be determined by how much your bag weighs. Some airlines are adding fees for extra weight. Probably will be $25-50 for the first 25 lbs. Then add about $25 for each additional $25 lbs. You can get a more accurate fee schedule by calling the specific airline close to your travel dates. Airlines are changing baggage prices rapidly.

Answer 3

Per Continental's website:

The first check bag is free, however the second bag is $25.00.

For excess baggage, i.e over 50 lbs:

Economy Class Checked baggage over 50 lbs (23 kg) and not exceeding 70 lbs (32 kg) will be charged at the rate of $50.00 per piece

Baggage weighing more than 70 lbs (32 kg) will not be accepted as checked baggage.

Additional, overweight and oversize charges are accumulative per piece.
