ExpressJet Baggage Allowance
ExpressJet Airlines began its first commercial flying mission on Sept. 30, 2021 – exactly one year to the day since its last flight as a United Express carrier for United Airlines.
Some important baggage check-in information is summarized below:
Personal items
Guests may bring one personal item onboard the aircraft for no additional
charge. These include a purse, briefcase, small backpack, camera case, or laptop
bag and must be able to fit under the seat in front you. The maximum dimensions
of a personal item are 14” L x 9” W x 9.5” H (35 cm x 22 cm x 24cm)
In addition to a personal item, guests may carry onboard for no additional
charge a coast, jacket, and/or umbrella, as well as food or drink for
consumption during the flight. Special items such as strollers, wheelchairs,
child safety seats, or assistive devices may be carried onboard and are not
counted toward the personal item limit.
Gate-Check Bags
Because of limited overhead storage space, larger items that might typically be
considered “carry-on” will be gate checked. These items will be specially tagged
and collected planeside as you board. On arrival, they be returned within 5
minutes of deplaning either on the ramp or in jet bridge.
The Gate-Check Bag must be smaller than 22” L x 14"W x 9”H (56 cm x 35 cm x 22
cm) and weigh not more than 30 pounds (15 kilograms). Examples of a Gate-Check
Bag include a roller bag, garment bag, large backpack, tote bag. A maximum of
one Gate-Check Bag per customer is permitted.
Checked Baggage
Guest may only check baggage for flights on which they are traveling and after
payment of applicable charges.
Each checked bag must have a current identification tag or label with the
guest’s name, address and telephone number. This will help to expedite the
return of misplaced bags.
Each checked Bag can weigh up to 50 pounds (22 kilograms) and measure up to 62
inches (157 cm) in Maximum Outside Linear Dimensions. Baggage that exceeds these
limits will be subject to additional charges outlined below.
Sporting Equipment
Golf bags and ski equipment will be accepted as checked baggage without
imposition of oversize and overweight baggage fees. For more information on
acceptance of sporting equipment, please check with Call Center directly.
Oversize and Overweight Baggage
Baggage weighing more than 50 pounds, but less than 71 pounds will be accepted
upon payment of the applicable charge. Baggage weighing more than 70 pounds will
not be accepted, except for wheelchairs and other mobility/assistive devices.
Baggage with outside linear dimensions exceeding 62 inches (157 cm) will be
accepted upon payment of the applicable charge. If the bag is really big, give
us a call to see if it will be able to fit through the baggage hold door.
In all cases, oversize and overweight baggage travel on a space-available basis
even when charges have been paid. As the flights are generally “less than
daily”, ExpressJet recommend that guests ground ship such items ahead of
time whenever possible.
