TAGAirlines

Maximum weight: 5 kg

The context in a few words

TAGAirlines mostly operates within Guatemala and its immediate neighbours. It's the typical regional carrier profile: a tight fleet, focused routes, and a baggage policy that mirrors the regional norm.

Numbers to remember: and 5 kg. At this level of rigour, the gap between theory and gate practice gets expensive — a lot of travellers get caught and end up paying for hold luggage.

In concrete terms: a typical "cabin format" suitcase weighs 2–3 kg empty for 55×40×20 cm. Weight is the recurring concern: at 2–3 kg empty, payload melts fast. Frequent travellers tune the bag to exact spec to avoid gate-side reclassification fees.

On the ground, agent discretion is wider than on majors. A bag that's slightly over may pass; a clearly oversized one ends up in the hold, sometimes free of charge, but with extra wait at arrival.

On TAGAirlines, unclear personal-item language calls for caution. A thin laptop sleeve clears in 95% of cases; a backpack sized like a second cabin bag, much less. When in doubt, the safe play is to consolidate everything into the main bag.
