Baggage allowance

Baggage allowance refers to the amount of luggage a commercial transportation (often an airline) permits a passenger to bring without paying extra fees. 

This rule defines the number of bags a traveler can carry, as well as the maximum weight and size of those bags. 

The goal is to maintain a safe and efficient system for passengers’ belongings while respecting the transport’s balance, weight, and space limits. Since fuel consumption and travel safety depend heavily on the luggage onboard and its distribution, baggage policies help control these crucial factors.

At the same time, giving passengers a clear baggage allowance helps them plan their packing and avoid surprises during the trip.
