Air Force logistics officials said Airmen need to be aware of the rules concerning excess baggage while deploying or on official travel since many civilian airlines charge fees for baggage.
"While airlines charge for a passenger's baggage and any additional baggage, Airmen are not subject to any out-of-pocket expense," said Master Sgt. Robin D. Johnson, superintendent of Air Force Passenger Policy, Headquarters Air Force Logistics (A-4).
It's important Airmen hand carry their military identification or common access card; contingency, exercise, deployment orders; permanent change of station orders or temporary duty orders, in the event airline officials request them to verify they are on official travel, Sergeant Johnson said.
