Prices are in US dollars (USD), per bag, each way.
Cabin baggage
- One carry-on bag, up to 22 x 14 x 9 in, and one personal item.
- Strollers, car seats and infant items travel as part of the cabin allowance.
Checked baggage fees
The fees below apply to travel on Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines flights within North America, booked or ticketed on or after 10 April 2026. They rose by $5 on the first bag and $10 on the second bag.

Before 10 April 2026 Alaska gave $5 off for adding bags online or in the app at least four hours before departure. From 10 April 2026 there is no prepay discount, so the price is the same online and at the airport.
