Current Bag and pax weights

Featured Replies

Been out of the industry for awhile now, can someone supply the current bag and seasonal pax weights for domestic and international. Thank you much

It depends on the airline!!!

But in general: For the "Rest of the World" use pax weight of say 90lbs. For the USA increase that to 900lbs!!

I've been retired for nearly 20 years, but when I was flying the standard assumed weights were, IIRC, Female 65 kg, Male 75 kg, hand baggage 3kg, hold baggage 13, 15, 20kg depending on type/length of flight.

 

90lbs, (<41kg) seems rather light. I would have thought weights would have gone up, not down in this day and age.
