how do i find the baggage weight limit on an international flight?

Question

i am flying from muskegon mi to amsterdam

Answer 1

Will vary by airline, your ticket should say in the back or in the printed details for an e-ticket, also listed on the airline website. Most airlines I travelled had an international limit of 2-bags with maximum weight of 70-lbs each, plus one carry-on.

Answer 2

Each airline may have a different weight for international flights. I know of two carriers, one allows 50 pounds, the other allows 75 pounds. You need to check with the carrier(s) you are flying to make sure you don't get charged. Another person posted a message last week in this category about being bumped from a United Flight, rebooked on Lufthansa. United allowed 70, Lufthansa only allowed 50, they got surcharged and asked people how to get the money refunded.

Answer 3

I would check directly with your airlines as to what the weight limit on the bag can be as it is different for every airline depending upon the type of aircraft that you are traveling in.

I would also suggest that you visit http://www.tsa.gov/ that website has detailed list on what you can and cannot bring on the aircraft with you. ie. liquids, etc...

Have a great trip!
