45 Linear Inches?

[darchibald]

I just called the airlines and was told that the luggage couldn't be no more

than 45 linear inches. Hmmmm..... Length X Width X Height....... Seems to me

that the answer would be more than 45 inches if you used average numbers.

My luggage is at my girlfriends house. The one bag (on wheels) is about 36

inches. Hmmmmm...... HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which airline are you flying? Most state 62 linear inches for checked baggage and 41-49 for carryon.

Agree with above. Most airlines is 62 inches with 41 for carry on. Receck the airline. Also 50lbs for weight. Unless you are flying overseas somewhere.

[SailBadtheSinner]

the correct formula is Length + Width + Height.

 

NOT

 

Length X Width X Height.

Talk to someone else, the above posters are correct. Sounds like they gave you the carryon number. The checked is generally 60+ inches. The 50 lbs is also correct for intra US flights. Since most of us can't get direct overseas flights, we just use 50 as the number.

What's the luggage limit on direct flights overseas?

[bUU]

International flights without any domestic segments have a weight-limit of 70 or 75 pounds per bag on most major airlines.

Als0- most airlines have a limit of 2 checked bags per person.
