Aerolineas Argentinas lets you check bags of up to 15 kg on domestic flights and 23 kg on international flights, with the number of pieces set by your fare. If your fare has no checked bag, the first piece costs from EUR 25 online on domestic routes. The 55 x 35 x 25 cm carry-on can weigh 8 kg domestically or 10 kg abroad.
Checked bags weigh up to 15 kg each on domestic flights and up to 23 kg on international flights, and your fare decides how many pieces you get. Flights to Mexico allow 25 kg. Infants without a seat get one free piece of up to 10 kg and 115 cm. Business travellers on long-haul routes typically get two bags of up to 32 kg each.

Your fare decides whether a carry-on and a checked bag are included. The official images say the carry-on is free of charge based on the purchased fare, and the fee table lists a carry-on price, so the cheapest Base fare usually covers only the personal item. Plus and Flex fares typically add a carry-on and a checked bag. If your fare leaves bags out, you can add them up to 1 hour before departure.
| FARE | PERSONAL ITEM | CARRY-ON | CHECKED BAG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | Included | Paid extra | Paid extra |
| Plus | Included | Included | Included |
| Flex | Included | Included | Included |
The carry-on limit is 55 x 35 x 25 cm, with a weight cap of 8 kg on domestic flights and 10 kg on international flights. You get one bag, and it is free only when your fare includes it. On fares without it, a domestic carry-on costs EUR 32 online or EUR 46 at the airport, while Europe to Argentina shows no charge.
Every passenger on every flight can bring one personal item of up to 3 kg free of charge. The official drawing gives it 40 x 30 x 15 cm. A backpack, purse, laptop bag or baby bag all count. It has to fit under the seat in front of you.
Each checked bag can measure up to 158 cm in combined length, width and height. The weight limit is 15 kg on domestic flights and 23 kg on international ones, or 25 kg to Mexico. Heavier bags pay excess at the airport, and pieces over 32 kg generally go as cargo.
Buying online or through the contact center is cheaper than paying at the airport. On the Europe site, a first checked bag costs EUR 25 online on domestic routes to central and northern Argentina and EUR 30 to the south. From Europe to Argentina it costs EUR 100 online or EUR 130 at the airport. Purchases close 1 hour before departure, and they are non-refundable.

Excess weight and size are charged at the airport using the airline's Excess Baggage table, which costs more than buying ahead online. A bag over 15 kg domestically or 23 kg internationally pays an overweight charge, and pieces above about 32 kg usually have to travel as cargo. Bags over 158 cm combined also pay excess. Buying an extra piece online is often cheaper than paying overweight.
Sports equipment, musical instruments and audiovisual gear travel in the hold for a fixed fee per segment, outside your normal allowance. On the Europe site it costs EUR 26 online on domestic routes to central and northern Argentina, EUR 45 to the south and EUR 100 to regional or South American cities. Surfboards are accepted up to 300 cm. Hang gliders, kayaks, windsurf gear, vaulting poles and javelins must go through Aerolíneas Cargo. You can buy up to 4 special bags per flight.
A musical instrument up to 80 cm can ride in the cabin instead of your carry-on if it fits the overhead bin.

Small pets usually ride in the cabin in a carrier of about 45 x 35 x 25 cm, with pet and carrier up to roughly 10 kg. A fee applies per segment and varies by route, so you pay it when you add the pet to your booking. Larger animals go in the hold or as cargo.
One online form handles it: the carrier's baggage claims page takes reports for lost, misplaced, damaged or delayed bags. File before you leave the airport if you can, and keep your bag tag stub. For general steps on missing luggage, see our lost-bag guide.
