This is a great resource. One addition that would make it one step better is to include which credit card gives free bags for each & how many bags per cardholder.
do continental card holders get 2nd free bag to israel ?
and what about au’s ?
What about El Al?
@C&C:
It’s in the exempt section.
@eli:
Only the Presidential Plus card gives 2 free bags.
@eli:
It’s a bit of YMMV, but with Continental/United I know AU’s should get free bags by showing their card to a checkin agent.
@Yehuda:
This chart is for US/Canadian carriers, but El Al also gives 1 free 50 pound bag between the US and Israel.
what does
AU’s mean?

@lora:
Additional user or Authorized user, i.e. a free secondary cardholder.
is CO changing silver elites to 1 free bag?
@YudiG:
Yes, in 2012.
Thanks for the very hard work!
thanks dan. can u plz make a chart for N. America to Israel?
“united/continental gives 1 bag free to other locations” and “Continental or United Chase cardholders get 1 free 50 lb. bag”
do cardholders get 1 more than the regular allowance and would get 2 bags on other locations (israel) or when flying to other locations the chase card doesnt add anything more than the 1 free that everyone gets?
Well, looks like US finally jumped on the bandwagon. from their website:
