USAirways...

What's up Everyone,

I've used USAirways pretty much my whole life so I'll share what I know about them. As mentioned their limit is 50lbs PER checked bag. HOWEVER, I know in some airports they don't even weigh them! If you're over 50lbs...like I was for my last skiing trip...it's a fine...either $25 or $50 bucks. Insted of me talking...just look! lol

http://www.usairways.com/customers/t...ge%20Allowance

Keep in mind...this is for USAirways ONLY! Hope this helps out!

Nimmuk,

You got bad info my friend, I live in Charlotte, NC and take the direct flight from Charlotte to Grand Cayman, you are allowed 70lbs as it is an international flight. Here is the direct quote from US AIRWAYS website

For travel between the U.S./Canada and Europe, and the U.S./Canada and all locations served by US Airways in the Caribbean, Mexico and Bermuda; except Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the maximum baggage allowance is two checked bags, one carry-on and one personal item.

A fee will be imposed if checked baggage exceeds a maximum of 70 pounds or 62 inches in overall length, width and height per piece or if the total number of pieces (checked and carry-on) exceeds three. A bicycle may be substituted for one checked bag.

traveling

70-75 lbs per bag (2 bags per person) is the usual limit for international travelers. to save costs, put all your books in a carry on because they dont weight them

I dont know if youre being serious or not, but no, of course you cant carry knives and sharp things onto the plane in your carry on.

If you're serious about that question, then youre wasting your time applying to medical school, trying seeing if Antigua has a junior high degree you can go for.
