Checked bags within SWISS’s limits, and a scale

Frequently asked questions

What is the SWISS checked bag weight limit?

SWISS’s own page gives 23 kg (50.7 lb) for a standard checked bag. Width plus height plus depth. 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 SWISS?

The standard size is 158 cm, 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 SWISS.

What happens if my SWISS bag is overweight?

SWISS 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.
