Thank you for your question.

On average most airlines allow 20kg per suitcase. All flights to long haul destinations, including Canada and Alaska, allow 2 pieces of luggage per person each weighing 20kg - so that's 40kg in total.

I hope this has cleared it up for you, enjoy your holiday!

Take care

I'm also going to Canada and Alaska but not until September. I would really love to hear how you get on and what you think about it.

Have a great trip!
