You’re allowed two checked bags at no extra charge, each weighing up to 50 pounds. That’s enough for a week-long trip plus a souvenir snow globe from Boston. The size limit is 62 linear inches (length + width + height), which is roughly the size of a large suitcase with a secret compartment. Cultural reference: It’s like the baggage policy from Planes, Trains & Automobiles, but with fewer tears and more legroom.
The Overweight Struggle: When You Pack Too Much
If your bag tips the scales past 50 pounds, you’ll face a $25 fee per overweight item. That’s still cheaper than an airline’s penalty, but it’s a good incentive to pack smarter. Practical tip: use a luggage scale or simply lift your bag and pretend you’re a professional weight guesser. If it hurts your back, it’s probably too heavy. Fun fact: Peter Pan’s baggage compartments are heated, so your chocolate bars won’t melt—unless you leave them in there for three days.
