There is no limit, but you have to pay for every checked bag Domestically (within the US)... 25.00 for the first bag, 35.00 for the second bag, and 150.00 for each bag after that (assuming that none of them are oversized, or overweight, in which case more fees apply). Keep in mind that this is as of today, but these policies change over time. Check with the airline directly for the most current policies.

It depends on if you're flying domestic or international, where you're going, and is subject to change etc. It is best to check with the airline directly.
