Checked Baggage Fee's

[DARUMA07 25]

My wife Ruchie is flying home to the Philippines tomorrow morning because her Mother is very sick with Pancreatic Cancer. I do know that there there are no Baggage Fees for the first 2 pieces of luggage on the International flight. My question is; On the domestic leg of her flight, will she be charged any Baggage fees here in the US? The same question for her return flight..... She will be flying Northwest Airlines to and from and flying from Kansas City to Detroit and then on to Nagoya, Japan and then Manila. I would appreciate any advice given...

I have checked that out and it doesn't make it clear to me about the domestic portion of her International flight... Thanks for the link..

There is no "domestic portion of an international flight".

A flight is either domestic or it is international.

He was probably thinking a local part of the itinerary. Took me a while to find my boss as he was flying in from Sao Paulo, but he told me he was coming from Chicago. It was actually Sao Paulo => Chicago => SFO. Found him in the international flights area. Confusing as hell.

Hi, i travel to Phil.by NWA,and there are a 2 check in baggages that she can bring aside from her hand carry,per luggage,it should weigh not more than 23kg each.

aside from that,the 2 luggages will be picked up to the final destination(Philippines ) not in Japan because it's just her connecting flight going to the Phil.

Hi Danny . I just recently flew NWA last Oct. 11 in going here in the Philippines for the same reason like Ruchie(my mother is also ill). My route was Wichita-Minneapolis-Narita-Manila.I had a purse and small bag for carry on.I checked in 2 luggages though each weighed only about 20lbs.I wasn't charged on any baggage fees on my domestic route from Wichita to Minneapolis.In fact, it was a check through luggages so I only worried about picking up my checked in luggages when I arrived in Manila.A safe trip to Ruchie and a speedy recovery for her mother.

Generally, if you check your bags all the way through your final destination, you gain access to the international baggage rules. This can allow you to avoid extra bag fees as well as weight limitations (75 lbs for international vs 50 for domestic, much of the time). However, if you have a stop over and take your bags at some point (i.e. you don't check all the way through), then you're screwed.
