Airline Luggage Restrictions
Each airline has its own luggage rules and regulations, and these are subject to change at any time.
You should contact your airline(s) directly to verify carry-on restrictions, prohibited items, luggage
count and weight allowances for flights to and from your destination. There may be penalties for
additional or overweight luggage. Here is the most up-to-date information we have at this time.
You can click on underlined airline names to be redirected to that airline’s website and there is an
alphabetical listing of links to airline websites on the final page for your convenience.

Note: Domestic travel is within or between the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands
and Canada. While airline reservations are made when deposits and Passenger Information Forms
(PIFs) are received, Viking River Cruises air department generally issues airline tickets 45 days
prior to departure and many of the new baggage restrictions apply based on when your air ticket
is issued. Each airline has exceptions; please see their respective websites for details. Currently,
most international airlines continue to allow one to two checked bags and one carry-on, plus a
“personal item” (purse, briefcase, laptop, etc.).
