Checked Baggage Size and Weight Restrictions

Maximum Limits for Different Passenger Classes

When traveling by air, passengers must adhere to specific limits regarding the weight and number of checked baggage pieces. These restrictions vary depending on the passenger's class of travel. For example, in business class, Star Alliance Gold, United Premier Gold, or higher elite members are permitted to check up to three bags, each weighing up to 70 pounds (32 kilograms).

Airline-Specific Exceptions

Some airlines may have specific size or weight restrictions for checked baggage. For instance, Singapore Airlines does not accept checked baggage larger than 79 x 31 x 30 inches (200 x 80 x 75 centimeters).

Fees for Excess Baggage

The amount of baggage passengers can bring without incurring additional charges varies depending on the route. Airlines typically charge fees for excess baggage that exceeds the allowable limits.
