Baggage fees

Official baggage policy

How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Airport behavior varies; the published allowance still governs.

Alaska Airlines liquids policy

At US TSA checkpoints, ordinary liquids use containers up to 3.4 fl oz (100 ml), all fitting in one clear quart-sized resealable bag per passenger. Medically necessary liquids and infant-feeding supplies have separate screening exceptions. Check departure and transfer airport rules outside the US.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

A lap infant under two has no separate cabin-bag allowance; a diaper bag counts toward the accompanying adult's allowance. Unticketed lap infants travel free within the US. Long-haul international lap-infant fares are 10% of the applicable adult fare plus taxes; other international taxes and ticketing depend on the journey.

Stroller

A child's stroller can be checked free at the counter or gate. Collapsible child-carrying stroller-wagons qualify only under 90 linear inches and 35 lb; larger wagons, non-child wagons or a wagon in addition to a stroller follow standard fees/rules. Check battery restrictions separately.

Car seat

A child's car seat can be checked free at the counter or gate. This is a hold-carriage allowance, not confirmation that a particular seat is approved for use in the cabin; check cabin installation and battery rules separately.
