Purchase an extra carry-on weight allowance
So that you can travel with everything that you need, you can purchase an extra carry-on weight allowance of 22 lb (10 kg) to be split between the 2 items (44 lb (20 kg) total).
When you purchase an extra carry-on weight allowance at the time of booking or in My Trips, you will have benefits such as: priority boarding and priority to store your carry-on baggage in the overhead compartments. (Subject to availability).
Remember that if your carry-on baggage is oversized or overweight for your type of reservation, it must be checked in and will be subject to additional charges.
Checked Baggage
A total of 5 items can be checked in as long as each item does not exceed the maximum weight of 55 lb (25 kg).
If an item weights more than 55 lb (25 kg) then it will be subject to an overweight baggage fee. Overweight baggage must not exceed 99.2 lb (45 kg).
