Sun Country baggage fees

On Sun Country, a personal (underseat) item is free on all reservations. Full overhead and checked bags are paid add-ons — both dynamic by flight and when you add them. Standard checked limit: ≤62″ linear (L+W+D) and ≤50 lb. Prices via Explore Bag Prices (per person, per direction, per bag; non-refundable). Timing ladder: online (booking / My Trips / online check-in) < ticket counter < gate. Gate overhead adds +$10 Gate Handling Fee on top of “At airport” bag fees. Do not invent a static nationwide overhead or 1st/2nd checked $ table. Published overweight tiers (+$25–$125) and oversize 63+ ($100) below are the only static fee numbers to lead with besides “check Explore Bag Prices.”

What’s free vs route-dynamic vs published add-ons

Published overweight & oversize fees

(Listed on the official bags page under the heading “Oversize Bags” — weight tiers + linear OS as published.)

Separate dynamic bag prices (overhead / 1st / 2nd checked via Explore Bag Prices) from these published add-ons. Whether OW + OS both apply on the same bag beyond what’s published — confirm stacking language live. Bag fees are non-refundable once purchased.

• Always free: underseat personal item (17 × 13 × 9 in); mobility / medical devices per the official page.
• Base fare (à la carte): overhead + checked are paid; no named “Basic Economy” bag fare on the bags page.
• Optional Bundle Deals: seats + bags + extras — exact SKUs/prices: confirm on live booking.
• Military: 1 overhead + 2 checked (to 100 lb) free; OS waived on first two checked.
• Visa Signature: 50% off first bag when pre-purchased online / Reservations (logged in).
• Seats (Best / Exit Row / Standard) ≠ bag allowance.

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