Due to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requirements, for flights to and from the United States, you can only take two pieces of hand baggage (including personal items and carry-on) through the security filters at U.S. airports. We advise you to take any necessary measures to avoid inconveniences.

What is a personal item?

A personal item may be, for example, a backpack, handbag, briefcase, or laptop bag, that fits under the seat in front of you.

What is cabin baggage?

The cabin baggage depends on the flight type, domestic or international. 

There are two types of cabin baggage for domestic flights in Mexico: light and standard.

Light: a light cabin bag may have or not have wheels, and it must weigh no more than 22 lbs combined with the personal item. Think small suitcase or carry-on.

Standard: a standard cabin bag may or not have wheels, and it must weigh no more than 44 lbs combined with the personal item. Think suitcase or carry-on.

For international flights, cabin baggage must not exceed 22 lbs, and it may be a bag with or without wheels.

What is a checked bag?

Checked bags are those that travel in the aircraft cargo hold. You must check them in at our airport counters 2 hours before departure for domestic flights and 3 hours for international flights.

Cabin baggage

For flights in Mexico with the Basic fare, you may add 22 extra lbs to take a total of 44 lbs between two cabin bags.

If you purchase extra weight, you'll get priority boarding and preferential space for your cabin baggage (subject to availability).

For international flights with the Basic and Classic fares, you may add an extra carry-on bag not exceeding 22 x 16 x 10 inches. The maximum allowed weight between the two bags will be 22 lbs.

Remember that it is always cheaper to add your bags when booking your flights than at the airport.

Checked baggage

For an additional fee, you may take up a total of 5 checked bags of no more than 55 lbs and 62 total in (length + width + height) each.

If your baggage exceeds the maximum allowance, a fee will apply. The maximum permitted for overweight baggage is 99 lbs.

To know more about the baggage overweight fees, check out the additional services fees.

If you paid for an extra bag and would like to check in a sports item in its place, you can do so at no additional cost as long as it does not exceed 55 lbs and 62 total inches. If you exceed the maximum allowance, an additional charge applies. To get more benefits, you can also add the sports equipment service.
