Baggage

I am seeing some confusion regarding baggage allowance on a flight booking. The listing shows no cabin baggage allowance, even though VietJet usually indicates a mandatory 7 kg cabin bag. In some steps of the booking process, it shows cabin baggage as 0 kg and then charges extra...

A recent discussion around Jetstar Airways has brought up the topic of cabin baggage weight limits and enforcement at airports. The debate centers on whether airlines should strictly enforce carry-on weight restrictions, and whether such policies are applied fairly or...

Hey everyone, I flew today and my backpack was sent through as oversized luggage, even though it only weighed 8kg and its dimensions were 72 x 28 x 22 cm, which is under Ryanair’s stated limit (80 x 120 x 120). I also made sure all the straps were tied up so nothing was loose or...

Hi everyone, I’m flying with WestJet and Condor tomorrow and only just realized how strict their carry-on baggage rules are. I don’t have any alternative bags and I’m now unsure if my current setup will be allowed onboard. I’ve attached photos of my carry-on bag and its...

Hello! Should i be worried about this layover in Bogota next month? I have 1 checked bag and it’s got me thinking i should try and change flights to allow for a longer layover?

I’m having an issue with Qatar Airways regarding Privilege Club Silver benefits on a recent booking. I was told that my flight does not qualify for the additional baggage allowance (extra 15kg) that normally comes with Silver status. The flight is listed as QR8400 and shows as...

United Airlines misplaced my luggage during my trip to Tampa for a wedding, but I was relieved when I received a call saying it had been located. When I went to retrieve it, I found the bag had been delivered to the Courtyard Marriott Downtown Tampa instead of my intended...

After arriving from an international flight at Dulles Airport, I ended up in the “future gate site” area and followed the signs toward baggage claim, which led me to an underground train system. At the station, I was shown a map, but there was no clear indication of where...

I received an email notice for my upcoming Flair Airlines flight stating that there will no longer be bag sizing at the check-in desk. Does this mean they are no longer checking carry-on dimensions at all at check-in, or is sizing just being moved to another point like the gate...

This might be a silly question, but I wanted to ask before our trip. Would a soft-sided cooler bag like this be allowed as a carry-on? I know the general guideline is 12 x 12 x 12 inches, but I am not sure how strictly that is enforced for soft bags that might be slightly...

I am planning to check in a box at GLA tomorrow for a flight to Malaga. I will remove the carrying strap before checking it in. The box contains a framed painting and measures 87 cm wide, 71 cm tall, and 14 cm deep. The weight is 6 kg. Ryanair’s maximum checked baggage size is...

I am flying Turkish Airlines for the first time at the end of the month and have a question about their personal item size rules. I recently purchased a bag for this trip but it is slightly over the stated dimensions, about half an inch too tall and too wide on paper. However,...

A passenger reported arriving at Heathrow Terminal 5 on a flight from the US and experiencing major baggage delays. They said it had been around 90 minutes since landing, but airport staff were estimating it could take up to 4 hours for luggage to arrive. In some cases,...

After doing some research, I finally bought a backpack that works well for strict airline cabin size limits, and I wanted to share it in case it helps others avoid mistakes with baggage dimensions. The bag is the VANKEV Ryanair / EasyJet / Eurowings / Wizz Air cabin backpack...

I was surprised at the airport when staff told me my carry-on bag was too big. This happened at Rabat Airport, where they were requiring many passengers to check their bags. I’ve used this exact same bag on 20+ previous Ryanair flights without any problems, so I didn’t expect it...

I want to share an important lesson from a recent trip in Vietnam that may help other travelers avoid losing compensation for damaged checked baggage. On June 7, 2026, I flew from Hanoi to Da Nang on flight 9G927. When I collected my suitcase, I found the top corner was badly...

Honestly, I don’t know why they didn’t make this change sooner. Most people aren’t going to check two bags anyway and it’s a great perk to offer to loyal cardholders.

My agent told me I’m allowed 2 checked bags However the app says I’m allowed 3 checked bags

My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Cancun, which overall was enjoyable. However, our return journey via a layover at O’Hare was disappointing due to issues with our checked luggage. After arriving home, we discovered that my wife’s suitcase had been damaged and...

I received a notification from Southwest saying that overhead bin space may be limited on my upcoming flight and suggesting that passengers pre-check bags. I’m currently in boarding group 8, and I’ve placed my valuables in my carry-on because I prefer not to check it, especially...

Hi everyone, I just booked my first international flight to Seoul with Qatar Airways and I’m a bit anxious since I’ve never flown on a long-haul trip before. My ticket includes a checked baggage allowance of 2 bags up to 23 kg each plus a 7 kg cabin allowance. However, because...
