When flying, is there a limit to the number of suitcases to check into the hold?

Question

I have a 20kg baggage allowance. Does this have to be in 1 suitcase or are you allowed to have say 2 10kg bags?

Answer 1

It doesn't have to be in 1 case

Answer 2

they will let you have 2 suitcases at 20k.  As long as all your luggage is less than 20 k combined you can bring as much as you want.  however, after 20k they will start charing extra

Answer 3

yes you are allowed 2 bags as long as it does not go over 20kg and you are allowed 5kg hand baggies as well

Answer 4

Sure - two is better in a way cos if they lose one case with everything in it, you have nothing!

Answer 5

It depends on the airline so you'll have to check with them.  Easyjet, for example, only allow 1 bag in the hold before you have to start paying...

Answer 6

You could take 20 1kg bags if you really wanted to.

It just depends on weight. :)

Have fun :D

Answer 7

i'm sure that would be ok. i think you are allowed two bags, but be careful of the weight, because i know when i flew delta that they said they would charge me if my suitcase weighed more than it should. but they let me bring two bags and a carry on.
