This page goes deeper on one part of the policy. The full record is at Sun Country Airlines Baggage Rules.
Sun Country Airlines’ own site blocks automated checks. So this page prints no checked baggage table, and that is a deliberate choice, not an oversight.
Anyone searching for Sun Country check-in baggage rules deserves numbers pulled from the source. Not a guess dressed up as a fact. Sun Country runs a bot protection screen in front of suncountry.com.
It returns a security challenge to automated requests instead of the page content. The specific pounds, kilograms, inches and fees for checked bags live only on suncountry.com. Rather than borrow a figure from a blog or a forum, this page tells you where to look.
What to check on suncountry.com yourself
Open the baggage information page on suncountry.com in your own browser. Do this directly, not through a search result or a link from another site.
Look for the number of checked bags included with your fare. Sun Country prices its fares unbundled, so the free allowance can differ by fare type.
Note the weight limit per bag in pounds and the linear size limit in inches. Also note the fees for a first, second and third checked bag, since these can change with route and how far in advance you pay.
Write down the overweight and oversize thresholds and their fees before you pack. A bag that clears the weight limit at home can still weigh more than you think at the counter.
What is not on this page
This page will not state a checked bag weight cap for Sun Country check-in baggage. It will not state a linear size limit, a specific dollar fee, or a fare based allowance either.
None of those figures could be confirmed from suncountry.com on the date this page was written. That is stated here plainly rather than filled in with a number from memory.
Sun Country’s carry-on size limits and standard bag fees are covered on this site’s dedicated pages. Those pages link out to the parts of suncountry.com that were reachable. See the Sun Country carry-on size guide and the Sun Country baggage fees page for what could be verified there.
The connecting ticket rule
On an itinerary that combines Sun Country with another airline on one ticket, one carrier’s rules govern the checked bag allowance. The US Department of Transportation calls this the most significant carrier.
It is not automatically the first flight or the last one. The Department of Transportation’s air consumer site explains the rule.
See the Department of Transportation air consumer page for that guidance. It also covers baggage liability rules that apply no matter which airline you check in with.
Weigh your own bag before the counter does
Whatever weight cap Sun Country prints on its own site, a bag that runs even a pound or two over gets an overweight charge at check-in. Airline scales are not up for debate.
A baggage cost calculator can help you compare prepaying online against paying at the airport once you have Sun Country’s own numbers in hand. A handheld luggage scale like the Etekcity digital luggage scale lets you hook a bag and read the weight at home.
That is the only way to know you are under a limit before you drive to the airport. Repeated complaints on airline review sites, across many carriers, describe the same pattern. A bag that felt fine at home turns out to be a few pounds over at the counter, and the fee gets charged on the spot.
How to measure and weigh before you go
Use the site’s own guide to measuring luggage for the correct way to measure length, width and depth. Include wheels and handles, since that is how airlines measure at the counter.
For checked bags, the number that matters is the linear total. Length plus width plus depth added together, not any single dimension.
Sun Country’s own baggage page will state its linear limit once it can be verified. This page will be updated at that point with real Sun Country check-in baggage figures.
If you plan to check more than one bag, or a bag near the weight limit, review two more guides while you wait. The overweight and oversize baggage fees guide and the checked baggage weight limit explainer cover how these charges typically work across US airlines.
The bottom line
The honest answer on Sun Country check-in baggage right now is simple. The specific weight, size and fee numbers need to come from suncountry.com directly.
Check the baggage information page on suncountry.com before you pack. Weigh your bag at home with a scale like the Etekcity digital luggage scale.
Use the Department of Transportation’s air consumer site if a connecting itinerary or a liability question comes up. This page will be updated with a full checked baggage table the next time Sun Country’s own site can be read directly.
Common questions
Does Sun Country weigh checked bags at check-in?
Yes, checked bags are weighed at the counter or kiosk, and a bag over the fare’s weight limit is charged an overweight fee on the spot.
How many bags can I check for free on Sun Country?
Sun Country prices fares unbundled, so free checked bags are not standard, and the exact allowance by fare should be confirmed on suncountry.com before you book.
What happens if my Sun Country connecting flight is on another airline?
The Department of Transportation’s most significant carrier rule decides whose baggage policy applies on a mixed ticket, not simply the first or last flight.
Can I check a bag that is a pound over the limit?
Airline counter scales are exact, so a bag even slightly over the stated weight limit is typically charged the overweight fee rather than waved through.
Where can I find Sun Country's exact checked baggage fees?
The baggage information page on suncountry.com lists current fees by bag and route, and should be checked directly before travel.
How do I avoid an oversize baggage fee on Sun Country?
Measure length, width and depth together for the linear total before packing, since that combined number, not any single side, usually triggers the oversize fee.
