AirTran Airways Baggage Fees 2022
Carry On Size & Weight - Checked Bag Fee

Per TSA regulations, all customers traveling on AirTran Airways will be restricted to one bag plus one small, personal item. The carry-on bag must be stowed under the seat in front of the passenger or in an approved overhead bin. Garment bags and small musical instruments are considered one of the allotted carry-on pieces.

Personal-type items include purses, briefcases, cameras, food containers, or laptops (case included). Pet carriers are considered either a personal item or a carry-on item.

The following items are not considered carry-on bags or personal-type items and are not counted against the "one-bag plus one personal-type item" limit:

- A child restraint device for a ticketed child with a reserved seat or when complimentary, available space exists.

- Assistive/mobility devices for individuals with a disability. There is no limit to the number of assistive/mobility devices a customer can bring onboard the aircraft.

- Outer garments or other wearable articles of clothing.

- Food for consumption during flight contained in disposable packaging.

- Walking canes or umbrellas.

The suitability of carry-on baggage will be determined by AirTran Airways.

Dimensions

AirTran Airways limits carry-on bag dimensions to 24” long x 16” wide x 10” tall. If the bag exceeds these dimensions, it is considered too large to be a carry-on item and must be checked. All carry-on items must fit under the seat or in the overhead bin. Any heavy item must be placed underneath the customer’s seat. Any item with inflexible surfaces must be placed underneath the customer’s seat or flat on the floor of an overhead bin.

AirTran Airways currently prohibits self-defense sprays on any flight regardless if it is checked or carried on. Please see the TSA’s web site for a list of other prohibited carry-on items

First Checked Bag

For all coach class reservations, the charge for a first checked bag is USD 25 with size and weight limitations.

We make an exception to our checked baggage allowance policy for members of the military who are traveling on active duty orders. As long as each piece of baggage does not exceed 100 pounds in weight and 80 inches in size (length + width + height), baggage will be exempt from AirTran’s baggage limit, and will NOT be subject to excess, oversized, or overweight baggage charges.

Any customer who requires use of a wheelchair may have it checked as baggage at no charge, and it will not be considered part of the passenger’s baggage count when assessing other baggage fees.

Second Checked Bag

For all coach class reservations, the charge for a second checked bag is USD 35.
