How many bags can I check and what items are forbidden by security?
Typically, most airlines allow 1 Carry-On item, 1 Personal item (purse, backpack or bag), and 1 to 2 Checked items. Recently some airlines, such as United, US Airways, and Spirit Air, have begun charging extra fees for Checked Items. For this reason we strongly recommend all passengers double check the specific baggage rules for the airline they will be flying with. Baggage fees for each route are listed while searching for flights online.
