International checked baggage
Customers traveling to/from the United States and all international destinations are required to have their baggage checked 45 minutes prior to flight departure time. The free baggage allowance, as well as maximum bag weights, vary with your Mileage Plus status and/or class of service. Please review the information below for details and exceptions.
If a ticket includes both international and domestic travel on two different airlines, then the rules of the carrier initially accepting the baggage will apply.

Travel during peak periods
When traveling to Mexico City during the peak winter, spring and summer months, and holiday periods, customers will be asked to voluntarily designate a secondary bag that may be placed on a later flight. We will only be able to guarantee a primary bag at times when capacity exceeds space limitations.
During the peak winter travel period of December 1 - January 7, customers are limited to the number, size and weight of their checked baggage as outlined in the chart above. No oversize, overweight or extra bags will be accepted. In addition, the following guidelines will apply to all customers during this period:
- No oversize, overweight or extra bags will be accepted
- Pets will not be accepted as part of a customer's checked baggage
- Only one box is permitted as part of a customer's free allowance; it must be the original manufacturer's box containing the original item
