Baggage Allowance
All about checked baggage for your trip: baggage allowance, fees that may apply in case you carry extra bag, overweight, or oversize and baggage restrictions during baggage embargo periods.
- The baggage allowance for your trip depends on your date of travel, origin and destination, fare class and PreferMember status.
- The weight and bags allowed are per passenger and are not transferable to other passengers.
- Baggage fees are subject to taxes established by the origin country.
- All baggage exceeding piece limitations, maximum weight or size dimensions will be transported subject to space availability in the aircraft.
- Baggage restrictions may apply depending on the time of year and origin and destination. Make sure to review them here.
- Certain articles require a signed declaration form to be transported. See list here.
- Items brought to the boarding gate in excess of your carry-on policy are subject to being checked and charged as additional baggage, per your ticket’s baggage allowance policy. In the event that the passenger refuses or does not have the ability to pay for the additional bags, Copa Airlines will not be responsible nor deliver bags left behind at gates, which will be turned over to the airport authorities.
- Irregularly shaped and/or sized pieces or packages are not allowed on flights to and from Cuba, Ecuador and El Salvador.
Prepay your checked baggage
The prepaid baggage service is available during Web Check-In for all passengers that have a ticket that will be operated by Copa Airlines, from 24 to 3 hours before the departure of the flight. This service does not apply to oversized or overweight bags, or special items.
