Carson Danfield asked:


What are the size and weight restrictions for my luggage?

- Since the Airlines’ luggage restrictions are going through a recent period frequent change, you should check directly with your Airline as to size, weight and number of bags that you can check and carry-on.

- In many cases, the Airlines have added new limits on both carry-on and checked baggage. You should check, but most Airlines limit their carry-on bags to a range of 14″ to 16″ high, 21″ to 24″ wide, and 8″ to 9″ deep. The lower limits are for under seat storage and larger limits for the more generous overhead compartment. A 45″ total (height+width+depth) can be used as a basic guideline to see if your bag will be allowed as a carry-on.

- Most Airlines have a carry-on weight limit of 40 pounds and a checked baggage weight limit of 70 pounds.

- Some Airlines allow you a larger size and weight for your first bag, but have more restrictive limits for additional bags.

- Many Airlines’ limits vary if you are taking a domestic or international flight, are flying first, business or coach class or if you are a member of their premium membership clubs.

- All limits are much more strictly enforced then in the past. Bags are weighed at check-in and many Airlines have placed bag-seizers at their gates. If your carry-on bags are too big, you’ll have to check them and that might cause them to be classified as “extra bags” which usually carries an extra charge. If you bags are too heavy, you can be charged a rather high overweight luggage charge.

How many pieces of luggage can I take with me?

- Just because you sneaked it on once, don’t always expect to get away with it. More rigorous enforcement of the rules and more and more bag-seizer stations will likely catch you now. This is especially true during the holidays and other peak flying times when the Airlines are watching closely since the planes are full and everyone is trying to sneak lots of stuff on the plane.

- During periods of high security, you may be required to check items you would normally be allowed to carry onboard the aircraft.

- Most Airlines allow for a combination of three bags to be divided among your carry-on and checked baggage. You’ll want to check with your specific Airline, since there are differences in their allowance programs. The Airlines also look at some items differently; some will count a laptop or briefcase against your allowance, while others will not.

- You may be allowed to bring more luggages free of charge if you are traveling on a first or business class ticket or are a member of the Airline’s premium membership club.

- If you plan on bringing extra luggage, you had better check with the Airline to see if they will allow it on the plane. Even if you are willing to pay an extra fee, they can still refuse your extra luggage if the plane is already full. If you do receive permission to bring the extra luggage, have the person granting the permission note this on your reservation and be sure to get their name.

- If you are changing Airlines during your trip, you’ll need to take into account the luggage limits for all the Airlines you’ll use. What is acceptable to one Airline may bring an extra charge on another.

- Check the regulations when making connecting flights in European or other foreign countries. You may be held to more restrictive luggage limits while flying within the area than you did flying into the area.

- If you are flying on a commuter Airline for any leg of your trip, you’ll need to know their luggage limits. Many commuter Airlines have limited space and only allow carry-on baggage, they also have more restrictive weight limits.

How can I avoid extra charges for my luggage?

- Know the luggage limits on all the Airlines you’ll use on your trip and try to stay within those limits.

- Don’t over pack, overweight bags have caused a great many injuries to baggage handlers. To try to discourage people, the Airlines often charge a hefty fee for handling an overweight bag.

- If you really need the items, then you should check into paying the extra bag fee. It is usually cheaper to divide your items into two bags and pay the extra bag fee than pay one overweight bag charge. You might also avoid the embarrassment of having your luggage explode because they are packed too full.

Grant McManus asked:


While standing by the conveyor belt in a crowded airport, you can’t help but notice them. In a sea of traditional dark suitcases you spot a polka dot luggage bag. A woman leans over, picks up the brightly colored bag and disappears in the crowd, on the way to her destination. Looking back on the conveyor belt, you silently wish your bag stood out in a crowd.

Polka dot luggage can be a great time saver at the airport plus a wonderful fashion statement. A fashion statement well over a century old, polka dots are still a popular and hot trend for clothing, handbags and luggage. Today’s polka dot items come a wide and wild variety of colors that can match any personality. Choosing a polka dot luggage set ensures that all of your pieces match. Luggage sets generally come with an upright suitcase, duffle or carry on bag, and sometimes a cosmetic bag.

The classic black and white polka dots are perfect for the traditional-minded individual. For those of a subdued nature, pastel colors like pink and white or light blue and white can be a natural fit. And those people with a wild and playful outlook on life can express their passions with pink and bright green or maybe purple and yellow dots. For today’s polka dot fans, these colors are only the tip of the iceberg.

Owning polka dot bags can be alot of fun and a complement to your personality. Not only will your polka dot luggage bring you a lot of attention as well as envious glances at busy airports.

I might be going away for a year and I’m guessing I’ll need three luggage bags to fit all the stuff I’m bringing (pretty much my whole wardrobe) so how much will it cost? I’m flying on United Airlines

April Kerr asked:


Even if you do a lot of travelling for business or leisure it’s still very easy to make some of the same mistakes each time you go on a trip. When the worst happens to us then we can easily feel hurt and also stupid for not being cleverer about the situation. Some mistakes you may already be aware of and others might be completely new to you. If you want to travel safely with your luggage then it’s important that you know all the different pitfalls out there.

Some people have the natural gift of only taking the items they absolutely need, the result is that they only need one or maybe two bags. Most people however end up taking various items “just in case” they might need them. The result is that most people don’t even use half of the things they take away with them. Not only are you making life more difficult for yourself in terms of having to carry all these bags around with you, but you’re also putting yourself at risk for a variety of other reasons.

If you and your family are going on a trip, it’s a very good idea to divide the contents up between the different bags. All too often luggage can get lost and the result is that one member of the family ends up with no spare clothes. If the contents are divided up then it means that there will be something of use in every bag. Just as long as not all your luggage has vanished. Underwear is very important to people so having the ability to change into clean underwear even if your suitcase is lost is worthwhile. You might even put a few pairs into your hand luggage just to be on the safe side.

Unfortunately many items of luggage are lost everyday in airports. By simply having your name and destination clearly printed on a luggage tag you’ll have a much greater chance of being reunited with your belongings. Having this info inside your bag can also be a good idea just in case the tag is ripped off your suitcase. As soon as you discover that an item of luggage has gone missing, it’s important that you report it so that staff can have a look for it.

Having certain items easily available to you during a flight is something that a lot of people like which is why carry-on luggage is so popular. However it’s important to understand that there are often weight restrictions and these restrictions can vary from airline to airline. Every year there is problems with heavy luggage falling down and injuring people. Also because of terrorist fears, many items are no longer allowed onto flights. These items include shaving razors, scissors and knitting needles. So find out this info before you go.

Some people will even offer further advice but the above is a good place to start. Travelling can be a lot of fun but things can quickly turn sour if you haven’t prepared yourself properly. Another thing to remember is that you should never leave items of luggage lying around as airport staff might think that there is a bomb inside!

Meghan K. asked:


I missed a USAirways flight with one connection, but my baggage was sent ahead of me. I may need to book a flight with a different airline now (must arrive at destination as soon as possible). What will happen to my luggage if I fly a different airline? Will it be at my destination?

Yes, I am in airport on hold (for over 20 minutes now) with the airline trying to get this question answered! :-)

Pisan K. asked:


Would you like to find out what those-in-the-know have to say about my appreciation towards using travel luggage Samsonite brand? The information in the article below comes from my own experience about using this brand for a while and I just want to share with you all. The information about this brand presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about interest to use buy it or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes. The following article is not the promotional of product at all but I just would like to share good experience and I want you to have the same.

It can be said that in the travel luggage market today, consumers get the most advantage from the market competitiveness. Many of travel luggage providers launched massive of product designs and colors as well as ranges of price which you can afford. Some of you may have perception that this brand is always expensive but in fact they have a variety of prices which affordable in the same time they remain to have good quality as always. Apart from affordable price, the quality of this product is recognized widely of its durable material and light weight. I can guarantee that you will fell that the one you bought is never expensive if compare to its quality.

For someone who may have a little money to support expensive travel luggage. I also encourage you to invest with this brand. Comparing to buy only one best quality even though it is a bit expensive, but imagine that if you buy other brand every time you want to travel due to the lower quality than Samsonite. Frankly speaking, you may have to spend even more money than buying god quality one, so you should take this into account. Therefore, an effective price compare between brands is really needed in order to help you choosing travel luggage that has good quality and affordable price.

Apart from designs and colours that you may choose for your personal need, you have to consider other factor such as resistance to scratch, pressure and chemicals. This is because you may have seen how your travel luggage is transferred and care in the airport, especially if they are treated by airline staffs or even yourself. Therefore, it is compulsory that you have to bring all kind of factors to consider when you have to choose travel luggage, not only design and colours. The considerable time that one good quality luggage should last is about 3-4 years, but it can be sure that Samsonite can give you longer usage than that. Due to its world wide reputation, Samsonite is one of the top brands of travel and other kind of luggage with great customer support. Not only good quality luggage you will get from its product but also excellent customer service, especially after sale service. The company has warranty for every single luggage that they sell so you can make sire that you will get maximum customer service as well as good quality of products.

Once you have got some of my appreciation towards using this brand, you begin to realize that there’s more benefits than you think. The day will come when you can use something you read about here to have a beneficial impact. Then you’ll be glad you took the time to learn more about it.

I am going on a trip where I will be flying. I want to have a lock on my luggage for security but I would like to find one of the TSA approved luggage locks like they suggest. Can anyone tell me what common stores carry these? I can only find them to purchase online and I do not have time for shipping, etc. Thanks!

Judith Wesson asked:


You certainly wouldn’t be seen wearing a pair of shoes that you have selected for an ensemble that were made out of plastic fake leather and the same logic should prevail when you are selecting your luggage they you are going to travel with. Leather is timeless and just never goes out of style, so while it may cost a bit more on the front end it will save you lots of money by delivering a lifetime of service.

Still another reason to choose leather when selecting your travel luggage is that leather is a natural product and you can trust that the garments that you are going to wear are well protected in durable set of leather luggage. You can find leather luggage in a wide variety of price ranges and leather luggage comes with all of the features that any other luggage would have, including convenient telescopic handles and retracting wheels for easy transport.

There are many types of leather that are used in the manufacture of leather luggage and you may want to familiarize yourselof with them before you make your final selection. Why settle for second best when you can be seen traveling with a fine set of leather luggage that will always have you looking your stylish best when you are out in public.

After you bring home your new set of leather luggage, there are few things that you will want to bear in mind with regards to its treatment. Never store it in a overly dry or harsh environment.You may also want to bear in mind that mice will nibble on it if it stored out in a garage or any place where they can have access to it. If it ever gets wet then you will want to towel dry it and then leave it in a cool room to dry immediately.
