'''Checked baggage''' is [[luggage]] delivered to an [[airline]] or [[train]] for transportation in the [[Airliner#Baggage_hold|hold]] of an [[aircraft]], storage on a [[coach bus]] or baggage car of a [[passenger train]]. Checked baggage is inaccessible to the passenger during the flight or ride, as opposed to [[carry-on baggage]].

This baggage is limited by airlines with regard to size, weight, and number, usually dependent upon the fare paid, or class of ticket. Baggage exceeding the limits is regarded as ''excess baggage''.
