Before You Fly

The questions our readers ask most — answered fast.

Domestic US flights run roughly $30–$45 for the first bag and $40–$60 for the second on legacy carriers. Long-haul international economy often includes one free bag.

Around 22 × 14 × 9 inches (56 × 36 × 23 cm), including handles and wheels. Budget carriers often enforce smaller personal-item-only limits on basic fares — always check your airline’s specific guide.

Usually yes — most airlines allow one carry-on plus one personal item. Basic Economy and many budget tickets restrict you to the personal item only, so verify your fare class.

Overweight fees typically start at $100–$200 for bags over 50 lb (23 kg). Repacking into a second bag at the airport is almost always cheaper than paying the penalty.
