Luggage limit on airlines?

Question

I am planning to relocate out of state. (Southern CA to WV). I am not able to drive across the country in my car. I am going to fly there and have my belongings shipped at a later time. Hiring a moving company and van is way out of my budget. Heavy items in boxes will be expensive to ship. Can I take 2 suitcases and 1 carry on bag? One suitcase will have clothes, the other will have shoes and some important books. The carry on bag will have personal items and my business portfolio. Is that allowed? What is the limit? Any other suggestions?

Much appreciated.

Answer 1

I'm not really sure what you are going through. But usually, on an normal aeroplane trip/flight from one country to another, you are allowed to carry 30kg suitcase/luggage per person for individuals over 14 years of age and a carry bag (of 7kg). Hopefully, that helps.

Answer 2

Well the 2 suitcases will go on the plane's cargo

Your carry on bag can be a little bit bigger than a backpack.

No age limit

Answer 3

most airlines have a carry on fee now of about $20.  and the weight limit for luggage is 50 pounds.
