Note: When flying with an airline with a partnership with others, be aware that you could fly on a flight operated by a different carrier. For flights to or from the United States, any baggage allowances established by the carrier who originally issued your ticket for the travel portion will apply for the entire trip. However, if you are traveling to places outside of the United States, then it is best that you contact the airline that will be taking your flight since their allowances are stricter and you might incur additional fees for extra baggage.

Virgin America Checked Baggage Allowance

Virgin America checked baggage varies depending on the fare type. In case you are flying with any of the Economy Classic and Economy Delight fares you can check one bag that weighs as much as 23 kg (50 lbs) and has maximum dimensions of 90 x 75 x 43 cm (35.5 x 29.5 x 16 in).

No free checked baggage is included on an Economy Light fare; however, an online allowance can be purchased for one bag which would cost about $45-$60. Two bags weighing up to 50 lbs are allowed in Premium Economy. The checked allowance for Upper Class is also more with up to two bags that weigh up to 70 lbs.

Additional over-weight or oversized charges occur for overweight and oversized luggage hence should be weighed and measured well before arriving at the air terminal to avoid additional abrupt charges.

Virgin America Sporting Equipment and Musical Instruments

Virgin America accepts sporting equipment as part of the checked baggage allowance under certain conditions. Most sporting items weighing under 23 kg (50 lbs) and that fit within the maximum dimensions of 90 x 75 x 43 cm (35.5 x 29.5 x 16 in) can be checked in free of charge.

Commonly recognized sports equipment are skis, snowboards, golf clubs, bicycles, and surfboards. Sports equipment that exceeds size or weight limits will incur a fee. Passengers should pre-check particular mandates for packing and fees applied for individual sports equipment.

Musical Instruments

Musical instruments, if within the airline carry-on baggage size limits, may be brought onboard as a carry-on. Instruments that cannot fit in an overhead or under the seat should be checked in a hard-sided case for protection while traveling.

The maximum size for carry-on musical instruments is usually around 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 36 x 23 cm) with a weight limit of 10 kg (22 lbs) in Economy or 12 kg (26 lbs) in Upper Class. Passengers can bring bigger onboard instruments on the flight if they pay for an extra seat for their instrument, where the seat must be a window seat and cannot be located in an emergency exit row.

On the other hand, larger instruments like double basses that cannot fit in the cabin should be checked in as luggage allowance or paid extra upon seat class. Stringed instruments are better loosened to avoid breaking down during transit.
