Question

What is the weight limit for luggage when flying on airlines?

Answer 1

It depends on the Airline. Most of them charge extra if your checked bag is over 50 pounds. I've seen some airlines restrict your carry-on to 15 pounds. If you go the website of the specific airline you plan on taking they all give details as to their baggage limitations.

Answer 2

I just had to pay $100.00 because my suitcase weighed 52.5 lbs and the limit is 50lbs. this was united airlines.

Answer 3

You should check your airlines website because the weight differs from airline to airline. It should have the weight limit and dementions for luggage. Hope this helped! (=

Answer 4

50 lbs for checked. For carry on I dont think it matters I had a carry on bag that weighed 70lbs ( no joke) it was small enough  so I didnt have any problems. It was also a 1 hour ride. If you are going internationally then I think they have a weight limit on carry on which is 40lbs...

Answer 5

I don't know if it varies from country to country, but here in Australia it's 20 kg for check-in baggage and 5 kg for carry-on luggage.

I believe it's the equivalent in lbs in the USA, according to my American hubby.

I believe that there is a higher allowance if you're flying first-class. Not that anyone can afford that these days!!

Answer 6

depends on airline. but now alot of them are allowing one bag at 50 lbs and the next bag up to 50 lbs is $25 or more
