Today, the Minnesota-based airline offers service to more than 50 destinations across the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. Sun Country baggage fees are one of the primary ways this airline can offer such low fares.
Sun Country Airlines charges for almost all luggage (including standard carry-ons), so you shouldn't expect to have any free checked bags or even a standard carry-on included with your fare.

To help you plan your trip better and save you money, we'll explain the policy and how you can waive or appeal your baggage fees with DoNotPay.
What Are Sun Country Airlines Baggage Fees?
are applied for each bag, per person, and are priced each way. The baggage fees also depend on when and how you purchase your baggage. For example, baggage fees are more expensive after you've made your reservation and even more expensive at the airport. Adding a bag option at the ticket counter is the most expensive option compared to adding one when making a reservation or during online check-in.
Here's what you can expect:
| Sun Country Airlines Personal Items | Sun Country's aircraft fleet is not equipped with closets or other areas for stowing items. So items that cannot be stowed in the cabin must be checked or not carried.
All Sun Country flights allow passengers to take one personal item that can fit under a seat for free. This may be a purse, backpack, duffel bag, or another item if it fits under the seat in front of you. You can take a stroller or baby car seat onboard free of charge, but it will be counted as your carry-on luggage. According to Sun Country Airlines policy, this item cannot be larger than 17 x 13 x 9 inches. You can bring your backpack as a personal item as long as it can fit under the seat and complies with the stipulated dimensions. |
| Sun Country Carry-On Luggage Fees | While most airlines offer at least one free standard-sized carry-on luggage, Sun Country Airlines charges for all carry-on baggage. Carry-on items intended for the overhead bin cannot be larger than 24 x 16 x 11 inches (including handles, wheels, or any other protruding items) and no more than 35 pounds. Basically, it must fit inside the sizer box, which is conveniently at the ticket counter or the gate. If it's larger than these measurements, then the check-in agent has the right to check your bag, and you'll pay additional charges of up to $45.
The price to add a standard carry-on bag can vary depending on when you pay for it. For example:

| Sun Country Airlines Checked Baggage Fees | Sun Country Airlines charges for all checked bags. Individual checked bags may not exceed the maximum linear dimensions of 62 inches, including handles and wheels, and the maximum weight for checked bags is 50 pounds. Overweight checked bags are subject to additional charges. Specific fees for checked bags will vary depending on how many bags you need to check and when you choose to pay for them. Keep these costs in mind:
