Help for Air Travelers to Beat the Increasing Costs of Baggage Fees

Aug 12, 2009

A new website can help air travelers beat the increasing costs of baggage fees. The site is a free site that allows users to find the luggage limit policies for airlines.

This new website, Luggage Limits, can help air travelers beat the increasing costs of baggage fees. is a free site that requires no membership and allows users to find an exact luggage policy that applies to their flight by turning the search for luggage information from a static page search to a dynamic one.

What Luggage Limits Site Does for the Traveler

The site goes further than any other website in finding flight luggage information that allows the user to enter an airline, along with the departure and arrival airports then uses that information to find the exact luggage policy on their selected flight. Not stopping at simple checked baggage information, this website also provides the same flight specific information on flights’ carry-on baggage, excess baggage sizes and costs. It also allows the user to browse through all the different ticket class baggage policies including airline club benefits, on the specified flight.

Founding of the Luggage Limits Site by Luke Dudley

“Interpreting airline luggage policies from their websites can be daunting,” said website founder Luke Dudley, who, as a boarding school Algebra teacher, took notice of this problem through students during the summer of 2008. “Seeing the students travel to and from school on a regular basis with numerous items of baggage, and at a time when jet fuel and airline hidden fees were rapidly increasing, gave me the idea for an online resource that can help travelers avoid, or at least prepare for, these extra costs.”

Dudley initially hoped to create a database full of handy airline specific policies not only on excess baggage, but oversized sporting equipment, fragile electronics, etc. While employed as a full time teacher, he worked simultaneously to nurture his idea with the hope of having the database available by the oncoming school year. However, he quickly realized that the world of air travel was far more extensive than he originally anticipated.

The Site's Stats

Since its inception, the site has come to include more than 57 major carriers within the US, Canada and the UK, and 3000 world-wide airports with airport-specific information. However, the US carriers are only a starting point. Dudley plans to greatly expand the site’s capabilities in the future to include non-US carriers’ policies and more extensive destination information.

Detailed baggage allowance information is available on all routes and ticket classes for over 57 airlines! All of the information one needs to avoid expensive airline luggage fees is provided along with helpful airport specific links.
