If you have to leave clothes/other items because your luggage is overweight what happens to these things? Are they thrown away or maybe auctioned off to staff?

I will be riding the United Airlines from the BWI to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but I will be making a stop in Chicago. I was just wondering if my luggage from the BWI will go directly to Cedar Rapids, Iowa or if I have to find it in Chicago.
I’m going tomorrow, so I would really appreciate an answer A.S.A.P. Thanks.

Im not planning on smuggling drugs, just curious.

Cause I know they probably have sniffer dogs behind the scenes to sniff your checked in bag. But how would they know if a pot of medication in your hand luggage arent illegal drugs?
Rodger - there are more drugs in the world than weed. Im talking about pills of E or something..

Im on vacation in Cabo and i have found some interesting pipes in many of the vendors stores. I want to take a few back to the US to give to friends and such. Is there anything i need to know about taking pipes across the border on a plane? None of them are used. Im 17, so would there be any problems with a minor having pipes in his luggage? Thanks for the help, and please no preaching to me about tobacco and its effects.

I’m from Canada, and am planning a trip to Singapore; but the best travel itinerary I can find takes me from Canada to China on Air Canada, and then from China to Singapore on Singapore Airlines. My concern is the hassle of having to get my checked luggage when I arrive in China, and then re-checking in on Singapore Airlines, and re-checking my luggage.
So 1) Will I be able to check in on both airlines (and get my boarding passes) when leaving Canada? 2) Will my baggage travel with me all the way to Singapore?

Thanks in advance.

I wanted to ask this question because of the reasons being that they are stricter with the security measures and I’m not sure of what and what not to bring. Can anyone help me out?

My backpack from school just broke so I went out and bought a messenger bag. I am traveling next month and I figured the messenger bag was on sale so I’d get it. It’s tan, no brand names/designs on the front. Medium size. When I travel with this, will I get laughed at? Should I return it?

Raymondo asked:


I’m currently in an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia right now. I will be returning to the U.S. very soon and would like to know a couple things before i proceed any further. I have 3 hookahs that I would like to bring back with me instead of sending home. Only one of them have ever been used. Am I allowed to bring all 3 with me on my checked luggage? Or will customs confiscate them all?
Should I send the used items home and take the rest with me?
