Sun Country checked luggage???

[CandyM]

Hi.. Does anyone know if it is 2 checked luggage, for Sun Country, and also what is the weight limit on them??
Another dumb question... How do you gage how much you have in your suitcase before you leave for the airport?? Do you fill the suitcase then put it on your home scale to get an estimate?? Sounds dumb I know, but would hate to have to much and get socked!
Thanks..

Hi Candy,

Not dumb questions. Check the Sun Country website for the amount and weight of baggage you can have.

Yes, we usually put the baggage on the bath scale to get a ballpark weight figure.

You have to have some heavy stuff in your bags to make them too heavy.

Here is a link to the baggage info for Sun Country. Two bags, each 50lbs or less. http://www.suncountry.com/suncountry/baggage.jsp

Here is what is says at suncountry.com
Check-In Baggage

Bags weighing more than 100lbs. and items longer than 5 feet will not be accepted as checked baggage. Only skis and fishing rods can be up to 6 feet in length.

Also, if you can't get your bag to balance on your home scale, stand on the scale holding each packed suitcase, one at a time, and note the total weight. Then weigh just yourself, subtract that number from each of the original numbers and that's how much each bag weighs. Or have someone who doesn't mind knowing their own weight do it
