When airlines say they charge for the second bag, what do they mean?

Question

when they say that does it mean they charge for the second bag per person or for a whole family? Like if you made a reservation with 4 people, are you only allowed to bring one bag per person, or 1 bag for all 4 people? And also how many carry-on?

Answer 1

They mean that the ticket holder can check one bag for free.  There is a charge for the second, third etc bag.  If each family member has their own ticket, they can each check one bag for free and will each be charged for more than that.  Carry ons are usually limited to a smallish bag that can fit in the overhead.  I see people push this all of the time though but that's usually what it means.  Women can bring a small piece of luggage and a purse.  Carry Ons depend on the size of the plane and/or how full it is.  Sometimes if the plane is small, there isnt enough room for tons of carry ons so they will check them for you at the gate.  They will also check them at the gate if the bag is too large.

Bottom line:  if you bring too much to carry on board, they will check it for you right there at the gate so you dont have to worry.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Per person.

Carry on is one per person, plus "small personal item."

Answer 3

for each pax you're only allowed one carry-on and one checked bag free.. for each additional checked bag for each person that's the time they'll charge a 25usd and that's per person and it shouldn't exceed 50 lbs or 23 kg..

it's still best to contact the airline direclty to check updates regarding the fees...
