Which statement is true about baggage allowances?

• A. Baggage Over 120 Lbs Is Allowed If Within Maximum Ramp/Takeoff Weight
• B. Baggage Over 120 Lbs Is Not Allowed
• C. Baggage Has No Weight Limit
• D. Baggage Must Be Placed In A Specific Compartment

Answer: (B)

Per-item weight limits are set to keep handling safe and the loading system within its design limits. A baggage item that weighs more than 120 pounds is too heavy for standard ground crews and equipment to lift and secure reliably, and it can exceed the restraints and clearance of doors and cargo compartments. So, regardless of the aircraft’s overall ramp/takeoff weight, such a heavy bag isn’t permitted. This isn’t about having no weight limit, nor about forcing all baggage into a specific compartment. It’s about a per-item limit that protects people and equipment and keeps loading operations practical and safe.
