Many airlines have implemented new limits on the weight and number of bags a traveler can check AND carry on. Please be sure to review your particular airline’s rules so you don’t get surprised. Overweight bags, in many cases over 44-50 lbs., are charged a minimum of $25 each way.
If you’re buying that special souvenir in Europe, you may want to consider having the store ship and insure your item so you don’t have to worry about the added weight. If you’re like Diana, those “baubles” are easy because fit nicely on the fingers and neck and add very little extra except glitter. That’s not to say Roger is cheap, but one can only wear soooooo big a bauble.
You may also be limited in the carry-on department, so be sure you get up to date info just before we leave. Written By Karen V.
P.S. Check the TSA for the latest restrictions on what type of things you can carry on, here. Kay T.

It is no longer just 'SIZE' that matters, but also 'WEIGHT'! It is my understanding from Alex that there are approximately 40 of our cruise guests who will be traveling on Swiss Air to Europe.
If you haven't done so please be sure you check on the Swiss Air website for their baggage requirement. There are extensive
information that can assist with your luggage and packing requirements. Not doing so may find you spending unexpected dollars for over charge weight, dimension and number of pieces of luggage.
Be advised also that Swiss Air had different baggage requirements pending what category you were flying on...Economy, Business & First Class!
I also advise checking on this requirement as close to your departure date as possible. With on-going airline changes you don't want to be kept off guard for an unexpected costly expense.
