oversized baggage
Too-large travel items
Oversized baggage is luggage that exceeds an airline's standard size limits and requires special handling or additional fees.
The threshold varies by carrier, but bags beyond certain dimensions typically can't fit in overhead bins and must be checked or gate-checked: They charged me extra for oversized baggage.
The term applies similarly to buses, trains, and other transport with baggage restrictions.
