Basic Economy allowance on most routes; premium fares and some destinations get more. Weights are shown in kilograms with pounds in brackets, sizes in centimetres with inches in brackets. Always confirm on the official website before travelling.

Money-saving advice: Baggage fees differ significantly between interisland and mainland flights. If you can pack light and use only a cabin bag, you avoid all checked baggage fees. For interisland travel, the first checked bag costs less ($30) compared to mainland routes ($45), so consider routing through Honolulu if possible to minimize fees.
