Your new flying bible: Major airline’s baggage limits

Trailer outside on airport filled with suitcases. When I arrived in Amsterdam on the airport Schiphol I took this image of packed suitcases on a standing trailer. Passengers on vacation take a lot of travel equipment or holiday gear with them. The trailer is parked outside, waiting to be transported to the plane or airplane.

Getting to an airport and realising you have too much baggage is about as fun as running out of petrol in the middle of a dessert.

But it’s not always easy staying ahead of the game, considering airlines often have different limits for different planes, from different cities, for different classes.

It really is enough to make your head spin.

Thankfully, the Independent UK has done the hard work and put together a list of what can be taken on who, or who can be taken on what.

To be honest we’re still quite confused by the whole thing.

As per the  Independent, travellers who pay more for their flights may get higher limits depending on their loyalty and frequent flyer programs.
