baggage allowance
Permitted suitcase weight
Baggage allowance is the amount of luggage a passenger may bring on a flight without extra charges.
Airlines specify limits by weight, number of pieces, or both: The baggage allowance is two checked bags up to fifty pounds each.
Exceeding the allowance incurs fees.
The term extends to other transport—trains, buses, cruise ships.
