Sun Country Checked Baggage Fee and Policy Guide
Here’s a simple breakdown of Sun Country Airlines’ checked baggage fees and the full 2025 baggage policy. Find weight limits and all exceptions, like
military waivers and Sun Country Visa Signature® card benefits.
.
First Checked Bag
You must pay Sun Country the first bag price if you have a basic ticket. The lowest Sun Country Airlines baggage fee is found when you purchase your bag right when you book your ticket online.
This first bag will typically cost you around $30–$34. Remember, it must be under 50 pounds and 62 linear inches.
Second Checked Bag
Need to bring a little more gear? The fee for your second checked bag is usually just slightly higher than the first. When purchased online during booking, expect to pay around $40.
This bag still needs to meet the standard baggage policy limits. It must weigh a maximum of 50 pounds and be no larger than 62 linear inches.
Third Checked Bag
This bag also usually costs around $40, similar to the second bag fee, but prices can vary by destination. Sun Country’s baggage policy allows up to four bags total per passenger on most flights.

Tips to Reduce Sun Country Airlines Baggage Fees
- Purchase Bags Online. Buying your bags online during the initial booking is always the cheapest way to pay the Sun Country Airlines checked bag price. If you wait, you will have to pay a bigger amount at the counter.
- Don’t Forget the 50-Pound Limit. The standard limit is very strict. A bag that is 51 pounds costs way more! Use a luggage scale at home to prevent overweight bag charges, which start around +$20 and go up sharply.
- Maximize the Free Item. Everyone gets one free personal item. This small bag (like a backpack or purse) must fit under the seat in front of you. Use this free space as much as possible! If you only bring a personal item, you save 100% of the baggage fees.
- Measure Carefully. Check your bag’s dimensions. If your bag is over 62 linear inches, you face a steep $100+ oversized bag fee. This fee is charged on top of the standard baggage fee.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does Sun Country allow a free carry-on bag?
A: No. Sun Country charges carry-on fees and only lets one free personal item. This must fit under your seat (17 x 13 x 9 inches). Note that an overhead bag must be purchased separately.
Can I check my sporting equipment instead of a regular bag?
A: Yes, you can check one piece of sports equipment—like skis, a snowboard, or a golf bag—as your regular checked luggage. It follows the same Sun Country baggage rules and is charged at the standard fee. Oversized or specialty items (such as bicycles or surfboards), however, usually come with an additional sports equipment fee on top of your normal allowance.
Q: How much does an overweight bag cost on Sun Country?
A: If your checked bag is over 50 pounds, you pay the standard Sun Country Airlines baggage fee and an extra charge as well. For bags from 51 to 60 pounds, the extra fee is generally +$20 to +$25. Bags 61-99 pounds face much higher fees, often +$60 or more.
Does the Sun Country baggage policy have a weight limit for international flights?
A: Yes. On flights to and from certain destinations, like Jamaica and Puerto Rico, the maximum weight limit for a checked bag on Sun Country carriers is stricter. Bags weighing 70 pounds or more are not permitted on those specific routes.
