How is linear inches calculated?
Linear inches equal length + width + height of your bag. For example, a bag measuring 22 × 14 × 10 inches = 46 linear inches, which is within the standard allowance.
What if my baggage exceeds the limits?
Baggage exceeding 50 lbs and/or 62 linear inches is subject to overweight and/or oversized fees. No baggage over 70 lbs or 80 linear inches can be accepted. Contact the airline at 808-484-2222 or check www.islandair.com for current fee amounts.
