Sun Country Baggage Fees (2026)

On Sun Country, a personal (underseat) item is free on all reservations. Full overhead and checked bags are paid add-ons, and both prices vary by flight and by when you add them. Standard checked limit: up to 62 linear in (length plus width plus depth) and 50 lb. Prices via Explore Bag Prices (per person, per direction, per bag; non-refundable). Price order: online (at booking, in My Trips or at online check-in) is cheapest, then the ticket counter, then the gate. Gate overhead adds +$10 Gate Handling Fee on top of “At airport” bag fees. The overweight tiers ($25 to $125 extra) and the oversize fee for 63 linear inches or more ($100) below are the only fixed fees Sun Country publishes; for everything else, check Explore Bag Prices.

Based on Sun Country’s bags and optional services page (main source) and its help center page on bags and seats. Sun Country’s bags page lists both overweight tiers and the oversize fee under the heading “Oversize Bags”; we show them as published. Overhead and 1st checked bag prices for a specific city pair need a live flight search in Explore Bag Prices; check them before you travel.

What’s free, what varies by route, and published add-ons

Published overweight and oversize fees

(Listed on the official bags page under the heading “Oversize Bags”: overweight tiers and the oversize fee, as published.)

Keep the variable bag prices (overhead, 1st and 2nd checked bags in Explore Bag Prices) separate from these published add-ons. Whether overweight and oversize fees both apply to the same bag beyond what’s published: check the stacking wording on Sun Country’s site. Bag fees are non-refundable once purchased.

• Always free: underseat personal item (17 × 13 × 9 in); mobility and medical devices per the official page.
• Base fare (à la carte): overhead and checked bags are paid; no named “Basic Economy” bag fare on the bags page.
• Optional Bundle Deals: seats, bags and extras; check exact contents and prices when you book.
• Military: 1 overhead bag and 2 checked bags (up to 100 lb) free; oversize fees waived on the first two checked bags.
• Visa Signature: 50% off the first bag when bought in advance online or through Reservations (logged in).
• Seat types (Best, Exit Row, Standard) do not change your bag allowance.

For size detail on the free under-seat bag and the paid overhead bag, use personal item and carry-on size.

1. Gate bag fees are often much higher than at booking, so buy early; an overhead bag bought at the gate adds a $10 Gate Handling Fee.
2. Sun Country lists overweight tiers under the heading “Oversize Bags”; don’t assume both overweight and oversize fees apply to one bag unless the official page says so.
3. Bags over 80 linear in or over 100 lb are not accepted.
4. Embargo: checked bags of 70 lb or more are not accepted on flights to and from Canada, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.
5. A pre-purchased overhead bag that doesn’t fit the sizer is checked, and additional charges can apply.
6. Fees are non-refundable once purchased.
7. Standard overhead and 1st and 2nd checked bags have no fixed nationwide price; check Explore Bag Prices.

• Add bags online at booking, in My Trips or at online check-in (the lowest price level).
• Stay within 50 lb and 62 linear inches to avoid published overweight and oversize add-ons.
• The cheapest option is packing only the free underseat item (17 × 13 × 9).
• Military or Visa Signature benefits can lower the cost when you are eligible.
• Buying at the gate costs the most (the highest price tier, plus a $10 handling charge for an overhead bag).

For dimensions and fit guidance, see:

• Sun Country carry-on size: 24 × 16 × 11 in, 35 lb (paid overhead)
• Sun Country personal item: 17 × 13 × 9 in, free under the seat
