Alaska Airlines Cabin Bags and Baggage Allowance [Size, Weight & Fees]

1. Basic Baggage Policy

Alaska Airlines allows you to bring the following things that qualify for the baggage policy for the basic fare:

– 1 personal item/hand luggage that does not exceed the standard – Free 

– Checked Baggage – There is an additional fee based on the number of pieces of luggage (within allowance)

– Oversize luggage: Charges apply per bag for bags that are beyond weight or size, depending on the weight type and size.

– Sports Equipment – Fees may apply to some items.

– Pets – Supposed to allow but with a fee.

2. Alaska Airlines Free Baggage Policy

You are permitted one personal item or one standard carry-on luggage free of charge on all Alaska Airlines basic flights. However, to avoid incurring extra taxes, you should pay attention to the free carry-on luggage size limitations.

For personal items: We recommend bringing bags such as purses, briefcases or laptop bags. It also depends on how your luggage is checked by airline personnel.

For hand luggage: Hand luggage should be 22 x 14 x 9 inches (55.88 x 35.56 x 22.86 cm) in size, including handles and wheels.

Alaska Airlines’ baggage policy is distinctive in that it does not have a weight limit for handbags. Even so, make sure your checked bags can be lifted into the storage compartment.

3. Infant/Children’s Baggage Policy

Alaska Airlines does not currently have a policy regarding infant luggage. Thus, all children’s baggage, including carry-on and checked baggage, is charged the adult baggage fee. The luggage cost, however, will not be charged for strollers. You can check in and bring the stroller during your flight without paying any additional fees.
