Carry-on22x14x9 in56x36x23 cmNo stated limitAlaska and Hawaiian now publish one joint baggage policy following their merger, and this size is the figure given on that shared page. Alaska blocks automated reading of its site, so the checked allowance and fees on this record are not yet confirmed against the carrier.

What the bags cost

We have not verified this airline's baggage fees against the carrier yet. Rather than guess, we have left it blank — check the airline before you fly.

Alaska and Hawaiian now publish one shared baggage policy. Since the merger, both airlines’ rules live on alaskaair.com, which is where Alaska Airlines baggage rules for either carrier now come from.

The carry-on on that shared page is 22 by 14 by 9 inches, or 56 by 36 by 23 centimeters. That is the standard US frame.

What the shared page confirms

The 22 by 14 by 9 carry-on applies across the combined network. It is the same figure used by American, Delta and United.

A bag built to that spec fits Alaska and fits everywhere else in the US market. There is no need for a carrier specific purchase.

Hawaiian’s own baggage pages now redirect or return errors. The shared page is the live source.

Why the checked allowance is blank here

Alaska blocks automated reading of most of its site. We reached the carry-on page and could not reach the checked baggage pages.

Rather than fill the gap with figures from an aggregator, this page leaves the checked allowance and fees empty. Our verification policy explains why.

A gap we tell you about is more useful than a number we cannot stand behind.

Where to get the checked figures

Your booking confirmation states the checked allowance for your specific fare and route. That is the authoritative place.

The alaskaair.com baggage section carries the fee schedule in a normal browser. It loads fine for a person, just not for an automated request.

Alaska Airlines baggage rules also vary by credit card and elite status, which a general table would not capture anyway.

What the merger changes in practice

If you booked on Hawaiian, check alaskaair.com rather than the old Hawaiian pages. The rules you are subject to are published there now.

Interisland Hawaii flights and North America flights may still carry different allowances. We could not read those separately, so we do not state them.

See our Hawaiian Airlines page for the same position from the other side of the merger.

How Alaska Airlines baggage rules compare

At 22 by 14 by 9, Alaska matches Delta, American and United exactly. Nothing unusual to plan around.

It is smaller than Frontier, which allows 24 by 16 by 10. Frontier is the outlier, not Alaska.

A standard US carry-on is the right purchase for this network.

The bottom line

Alaska Airlines baggage rules are conventional on the cabin side and, for now, unreadable on the checked side. We publish the first and decline to guess at the second.

Confirm the carry-on in the size checker, and read your checked allowance in your own booking.

Common questions

What is the Alaska Airlines carry-on size?

22 by 14 by 9 inches, or 56 by 36 by 23 centimeters, on the joint Alaska and Hawaiian baggage page.

Are Alaska and Hawaiian baggage rules the same now?

They are published together on alaskaair.com following the merger. Hawaiian's own baggage pages redirect or return errors.

Why is there no checked allowance on this page?

Alaska blocks automated reading of most of its site. We reached the carry-on page but not the checked baggage pages, so we left them blank.

Where can I find Alaska checked bag fees?

In your booking confirmation, or in the alaskaair.com baggage section, which loads normally in a browser.

Does a standard US carry-on fit Alaska?

Yes. The 22 by 14 by 9 figure matches Delta, American and United exactly.

Do status or credit cards change the allowance?

Alaska allowances vary by elite status and by credit card, which is another reason a single general table would mislead.
