How many pieces of luggage can I bring on airplane and cruise?

Most airlines allow you to check two (2) pieces of luggage with a weight limit of 50 pounds each. If it is over weight, you will have to pay an additional charge. Each passenger may also carry on one personal item (briefcase, pocketbook, or purse) and one piece of carry-on baggage per person. Passengers should be prepared for possible additional screening of laptops, cellular phones, and other electronic devices. Examine everything that you normally pack in your suitcase and evaluate whether an object could be scrutinized by airport security. (This includes items found in manicure kits, etc.) Consider removing anything that could be perceived as threatening, or may raise suspicion at a security checkpoint. No knives of any size will be accepted.

Anticipate the possibility that your bag will be opened for a security inspection. Pack efficiently, placing smaller items together in a pouch or bag. Avoid over-packing so that carry-on luggage and checked suitcases can be opened and closed with ease. Make sure that each suitcase has a luggage tag securely affixed to it.
