In 2019, the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) amended some rules when it comes to the baggage limit per passenger in air transport. That way, many people were taken by surprise at the time of boarding!
To prevent this type of situation from happening to you, we have put together the new rules adopted by airlines from all over Brazil! So, when it's time to pack your bags and set off on your dream trip, you won't have any unpleasant surprises. Check it out!
What changes with checked baggage?
In addition to modifying the price of luggage, the Agency also defined changes to the checked bag allowance. In other words, it is now necessary to pay attention to the weight and number of packages that you can take on board.
The new ANAC rules give full autonomy so that airlines can define these limits. Previously, it was established that passengers could carry 23 kg of luggage for domestic flights and two packages of up to 32 kg on international trips.
With the changes determined in 2019, airlines are completely free to charge extra fees on their plane trip. So don't be surprised if an extra payment is required to check your suitcase.
However, companies can also choose not to charge. In fact, to gain the trust of travelers, they have created promotions and tables to check your suitcase without breaking the bank. Be aware: the prices vary according to the rules of each company.

Therefore, when packing your hand bag, make sure that you place only items that are extremely necessary to be with you there on the plane. Opt for documents, non-transferable personal items, and other permitted accessories.
It is worth remembering that, again, it is up to each airline to encourage the dimensions and limits of hand luggage. Length, height and width measurements vary according to each company, so be aware of the company's requirements when boarding.
