Baggage Allowance & Fees
Your guide to understanding airline baggage policies.
Know Before You Go
At Fareshepherd, we find and book your flights, but **all baggage policies and fees are set directly by the airlines.** Fees can vary based on your ticket type, destination, and frequent flyer status. Baggage fees are paid directly to the airline, typically during online check-in or at the airport.
Checked Baggage
Most airlines charge for checked bags on domestic flights. International allowances vary widely. Always check the specific airline's policy for your route.
Carry-On Bags
Most major airlines allow one free carry-on bag and one personal item. However, "Basic Economy" fares often have stricter limitations.
