Common questions
Can weight be pooled across bags?
Many fares enforce each bag limit separately. This total check cannot ensure every individual bag is within its limit.
How does Checked baggage weight distribution calculate the result?
Over-limit weight = max(0, total packed weight + empty bag weights − bags × per-bag limit).
