BAGGAGE FEES AND AIRLINE REGULATIONS Note that you will incur separate fees for exceeding size, weight, and quantity limitations on baggage. For example, if an extra piece of baggage exceeds the weight and size limits, it will be subject to three fees: one for the extra bag, one for exceeding the weight limit, and one for going over the size restriction. Fees are charged for each additional bag, each way. Some airlines charge excess baggage fees from $70-$200 for a second bag (checked-on) to international destinations. If you voluntarily choose to take a second checked-on suitcase, you will be responsible for paying the extra baggage fees. You are also subject to pay any fees for overweight baggage. This applies to both the departure and return flight home. We recommend that you check the airline website soon before your departure date for updates.
