Avoid $150 Gate Fees: Airline Baggage Math
Sum of Length + Width + Height (including wheels and handles). Exceeding 62" triggers oversize fees even if under 50 lbs.
Checked bags weighing 51 to 70 lbs trigger heavy overweight fees ($100+). Use a digital portable luggage scale before leaving for the airport.
Power banks and loose spare camera lithium batteries MUST be packed in your carry-on luggage only; they are strictly illegal in cargo holds.
