How much baggage or luggage is permissible per person on an airline?

"I'm Leavin' on a Jet Plane..."

It depends on which airlines you are flying and whether it is a domestic or an international flight.

I think on a lot of airlines the limit for carry-on baggage is 1 bag and under the plane baggage is 2 bags per person. It all depends on the airline though.
