I'm taking my first flight ever and it's with Alaska airlines. I don't have a suitcase, so I'm bringing a large duffel bag. Is this okay?
I would rather not be charged extra! The bag is a little longer than a normal suitcase but a lot thinner
Somewhere on Alaska Airline's website (probably under baggage) they have the allowable dimensions of a 'standard' bag that won't get you hit with excess baggage charges. A normal duffel bag should be within their limits.
No one can tell you for sure. It sounds like you're talking about a carry-on bag and not a checked bag, so it will be up to the discretion of the gate agents. Sometimes they look away when it's only slightly larger than what is allowed, and other times they are very strict, measure the bags, and enforce the limits. I have found that my carry-on bags are more likely to be checked/measured when the flight is especially full. Part of the issue is that the bag has to fit into the overhead compartment; if you don't stuff your bag completely full, and it still has a bit of give to it, then you're more likely to be able to take it on board.
Call the Airlines and ask
u Half wit
- How do I see which seat I was assigned on an Alaska Airlines flight if I booked my flight through Skyscanner? I can't find how to do it- I have done it online before, but maybe I can't find it because I got it through a discount site?
- Plane ticket has first, middle and last name but my passport only has first and last name? I'm flying Scandinavian Airlines and my plane ticket has my first, middle, and last name but my passport only has my first and last name. Does anyone have any experience with this or think it will be an issue? I called the travel agency and they told me they could not do anything to correct the middle name. I was also thinking about bringing another form of ID like a birth certificate or social security card to be safe.
- Has anyone ever travelled with Ryanair? I don't understand their luggage rules? So this Monday I'm flying to Spain and I decided to purchase a £12 priority and two Cabin bags along with my flight ticket. But I don't get it. What if I choose to bring a luggage that is 24 inches so 63x41.5x24.5 size and one tiny handbag. Would that be okay? How much would they charge me if I want to bring that along with me to Spain?
- First time booking through trip.com and my flights are with Scoot and Cebu Pacific Airlines. I'm unsure where I can checkin and put add ons? Is there an option to check in and add some add ons through trip.com or directly with Scoot and Ceb Pac? However, I tried managing my bookings separately on their respective websites but they both say they can't find my booking or whatever… My flight is still in a month but I d like to worry about it now than when it's nearer and I doubt they won't appear there because I've had flights before that I was able to add to my manage bookings months ahead.
