Airline Checked Luggage
Allowance
Something that comes to mind when booking a DIY holiday is how much is it going to cost for checked luggage? What is the checked luggage allowance for my airline? You can be fooled sometimes by bagging a cheap flight but the checked luggage fees on top can then leave you astonished and leave you with a not-so cheap flight after all. I have popped together a list of all major airlines and their checked luggage allowance and fees to make your journey less stressful and easier for you to plan. Prices are correct as of 22/03/2019. I have provided the links below for you to double check before you travel as these may change.
Economy class passengers are able to bring one piece of checked luggage up to 23 kg - 32 kg (depending on route) free of charge ,when flying to any international destination from any UK airport.
When flying to closer destinations on a basic hand-luggage only ticket prices vary between £22 one-way within the UK to £40 one-way for South-European and North-African destinations online or £40 - £60 at the airport.
A checked bag can be up to 90 x 75 x 43cm (35.5 x 29.5 x 16in), including any bits that stick out, like the handle, pockets and wheels.
