Guide to Luggage
Checked Luggage:
Bags up to 50 lbs can be checked through with Northwest. Your child would give them the luggage in Louisville and get it back in Manchester. However, there is always the chance of them LOSING the luggage. Also, Northwest now charges $15 each way for this. If your child wants to check luggage, they will need to bring $30 additional to pay to check the luggage.
*Northwest Airlines on checked baggage
Carry-on Luggage:
This is luggage brought on the plane for free. Students can bring 1 carry-on bag (22" x 14" x 9" max) + 1 personal item (purse, small backpack like the ones with strings for straps, small tote bag, no larger than 15"x11"x6"). The carry-on bag goes in the overhead bin, and the personal item goes under the seat in front of you.
*Northwest Airlines on carry-on baggage
Carry-on Toiletries: no larger than 3 oz travel-size containers, all of which must fit in a 1 quart clear plastic bag
*Check out this video at Walgreens.com for help in packing toiletries
Do NOT pack in carry-on (or in your pockets):
Liquids in container larger than 3-oz**
Knives (even a pocket knife)
Prescription medicine without visible prescription label (can pack prescription meds but they MUST be in the labeled bottle); nonprescription medicine (Tylenol, over-the-counter allergy medicine, etc) must also be in a labeled bottle
*TSA Prohibited Items List
**Any lotions, shampoos, etc. in containers larger than 3 oz. WILL be thrown away before clearing security. This also means that you can NOT pack water/soda/juice for your child to drink on the plane, as it has to be thrown away before clearing security. An empty water bottle can be filled at a water fountain once through security, and drinks can also be bought at shops on the other side of the security checkpoint. Snacks, however, are allowed through security.
Examples of Acceptable Carry-on Luggage:
1) Small duffle bag + small tote bag
2) Carry-on suitcase + purse
3) Large backpack + small stringed backpack
NOT Acceptable for Carry-on Luggage:
1) Full-size suitcase
2) Large duffle bag stuffed full
3) 2 large backpacks
