Many students requested to provide the Baggage Allowances of all the major Airlines so that it would be easy to compare the Airline Baggage Allowances directly. So I created a list which contains the Airline Name, maximum weight and dimensions allowed for Check-In (Checked Baggage) and Hand Baggage, Frequent Flyer benefits and Excess Charges levied if your Bag is overweight or dimensions are larger.
I have made two lists, the first one contains the major airlines in which students generally travel. The second list contains other airlines. Here the dimensions are mentioned within the brackets. For Example if an Airline says your baggage dimensions should not exceed 158 cm or 62 inches, it simply means that your Baggage (length + width + height) should not exceed 158 cm or 62 inches.
Students who are travelling with F-1 Visa get some special concessions and allowances. For Example: British Airlines allows you to check-in one or two additional Bags of 23 Kgs. So in all you can check-in 2 or 3 Baggages. To get to know more about Airlines that give such concessions, please click this link: Booking Your International Flight.
