Luggage weight & size limits in North America
Last Updated: 21st May 2013
More Tour and Travel Advice for the USA and Canada
Contiki Tours in the USA and Canada have a luggage restriction of 1 × 20 kilogram (44lbs) bag and 1 x carry on bag. Any reasonable sized suitcase however is okay. Although your bags won’t be weighed, if your suitcase is too heavy then you will have to load and unload it on and off the bus yourself. (Workplace health and safety for your Driver)
On US tours it’s best to roughly stick to to the 73cm x 50cm x 25cm (29″ × 20″ × 10″) and 20 kilogram (44lb) weight restriction.
If you are returning to Anaheim you will have the option of storing your excess luggage at the Stovalls Inn at Anaheim.
Clients not returning to Anaheim should take note of this as they will not be able to bring excess luggage on the coach.
On tours with included flights as part of the itinerary, you’ll need to make sure your luggage doesn’t exceed the weight restrictions imposed by airlines. Contiki is not responsible for any costs incurred for overweight luggage.
For information regarding airline luggage fees & limits, please visit our comprehensive list linking to airline websites and their specific luggage restrictions.

The flower is recognizable by its five backward projecting spurs of the inner petals. The spurs are full of nectar. A row of inner and outer petals forms the columbine, which grows in a drooping fashion. Thanks a lot. letter trays stackable

I�m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that�s both educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my hunt for something relating to this.

@aimee490 Depending on airline, its 23kg to the USA, and 32kg (or 2pces) to Australia – to encourage us to shop. Contiki’s rules contradict the airline allowance, but what I’m doing is taking a suitcase in my suitcase and shop at the end of my tour.

I agree.. Im kinda worried about doing the contiki after visiting New York if I have to keep the weight down… My tour starts and finishes in different cities so I can’t leave part of my luggage behind either!

I would like to know what the restrictions are for your carry on bag? Must it be a backpack or can it be a small wheelie bag the same size as aircraft carry on restrictions?

Suck it up people. If everybody bought a large bag it wouldn’t all fit under the bus

This may sound a little stupid, but it says were allowed one bag for luggage and a carry on bag. Would a handbag be included as a carry on bag? Or can we have both?!

Make sure you try currywurst in Germany. It's basically a hot dog with tomato sauce (ketchup) and curry powder. Tastes brilliant and only costs 1 or 2 Euro.
A tip for people looking for a decent coffee shop.. if you don't already know about it, you will because most Contiki travellers find out about it - its The Grasshopper. Ask a local and they should be able to tell you where to find it.
MOMA is well worth a visit, and if you're short on cash, has free entry between 4pm-8pm on Friday nights. It does get very crowded though...
