Airplane domestic baggage |
|
|
I'm taking a domestic (Air China) flight from Guangzhou to Lanzhou this Friday in economy class. I'm aware that the luggage allowance is 20 kg/44 lbs, but as it is my bag may probably be closer to 22 or 23 kg (about 50 lbs). So my question is -- how are overweight bags dealt with?
As in, is it simply not allowed/are you asked to throw things out? Or is there a fine (if so, what is it)? And finally, is there a "hard limit"? (As in, for example on American domestic airlines you can generally check 50-70 lb bags for a hefty fee, but 70 lb+ bags are usually flat out rejected.)
Thanks for all the help! |
