Checked baggage

Checked baggage is also known as hold or cargo luggage. It refers to anything that a passenger wants to transport in the cargo hold of the aircraft. Most people transport larger items as checked baggage, like suitcases, sports equipment, and musical instruments.

As the name suggests, you have to check this type of baggage in and you will not have access to it during the flight.
