What does baggage allowance refer to?

The policy detailing which items are allowed in carry-on bags.

The total fees collected for all checked baggage on a flight.

The number, size, and weight limits of baggage a passenger may bring without extra charges.

Baggage allowance is the set of limits on how many bags you can bring and how large and heavy they can be without paying extra. It specifies the free limits for both carry-on and checked luggage, though the exact numbers can vary by airline and fare. When your bags stay within these size and weight limits, you won’t incur additional charges; if you exceed them, you’ll face extra baggage fees or be required to repack or check items differently. This concept is separate from what items are prohibited or restricted, from the total money collected in baggage fees, and from check-in timing for baggage.

The time window for checking in baggage at the counter.
