Understanding International Checked Baggage
Items carried when flying are generally divided into two types: carry-on baggage (taken directly onto the plane) and checked baggage (stored in the cargo hold). Checked baggage for international flights consists of larger, carefully packed items placed in a separate compartment. It follows the same principles as checked baggage but is specific to flights outside the country.
