Checked bag fees
| Bag | Fee (each way) |
|---|---|
| 1st checked bag | $45 |
| 2nd checked bag | $55 |
| 3rd and each additional bag | $200 |
Each fee applies to that specific bag number. The $45 rate is for your 1st bag only — it is not the price of every checked bag. Your 2nd bag is $55. Your 3rd bag and every bag after it (4th, 5th, and so on) is $200 each way, so a 4th checked bag costs $200, not $45 or $55.
How the fee is applied
A fee applies only to bags beyond your free allowance, and the fee for each bag is set by its position (1st/2nd/3rd) in the table above — your free bags aren't skipped when counting position. If you're within your free allowance, that bag is $0 (for example, a Meridian Gold member with 2 free bags pays $0 for a 1st bag; a First / Meridian Platinum member with 3 free bags pays $0 through the 3rd bag, and $200 for a 4th bag). Your exact fee for any bag you add is shown at checkout and charged to your payment method.
- Checked-bag fees are per direction, not round trip.
- Pay at check-in online, in the Agentic Airways app, at a kiosk, or at the counter.
- If your free-bag benefit comes from elite status, make sure your Meridian Club number is on the reservation so the waiver is applied automatically.
Who gets free checked bags
Free-bag benefits generally apply per person on the reservation:
- First / Agentic Business: typically 2 free checked bags.
- Meridian Club elite status members: free checked bags by tier — Meridian Silver: 1 free, Meridian Gold: 2 free, Meridian Platinum: 3 free. You always receive the better of your tier allowance and your cabin allowance (for example, First class = 2), and the benefit often extends to one companion traveling on the same reservation.
Meridian Blue members with a Main Cabin fare have no free checked bag; standard checked-bag fees apply. As long as you stay within your free allowance, you pay $0 for those bags — fees only apply to bags beyond your free allowance.
Weight and size limits per bag
- Maximum weight: 50 lbs (23 kg) per bag to avoid an overweight fee.
- Maximum size: 62 linear inches (length + width + height combined) to avoid an oversize fee.
Overweight and oversized fees
These fees are charged in addition to the standard checked-bag fee:
| Condition | Additional fee |
|---|---|
| Overweight: 51–100 lbs | ~$100 per bag |
| Oversized: 63–115 linear inches | ~$150 per bag |
| Both overweight and oversized | Both fees apply |
Bags over 100 lbs or over 115 linear inches are not accepted as checked baggage. If a bag is near a limit, confirm at booking or check-in.
