Checked bags within Alaska’s limits, and a scale

Frequently asked questions

What is the Alaska checked bag weight limit?

Alaska Airlines’s own page gives 50 lb (22.7 kg) for a standard checked bag. Bags over 50 lb or 62 linear inches carry extra charges. Weigh the packed bag at home: a luggage scale costs less than a single overweight fee at most airlines.

How big can a checked bag be on Alaska?

The standard size is 62 linear inches, measured as length plus width plus height with wheels and handles. Of the 17 checked suitcases in our catalog with wheels-included listing sizes, 9 are within it, the largest being 58.3 linear inches. 8 of the 28 to 30 inch cases are over it, so check a large case’s wheels-included figure before you buy it for Alaska.

What happens if my Alaska bag is overweight?

Alaska charges an overweight fee above the standard limit; the amount was not confirmed from its page for this site, so check the airline. Moving a few pounds into your carry-on is usually the cheapest fix.

Researched, not professional advice. Fees change often and differ by route, fare and status; check the airline before you fly.
