Curbside Baggage Check

required documentation and photo-identification. Review Baggage Information for Northwest's domestic baggage allowance.

After checking your baggage:

  • If you have a boarding pass from nwa.com check-in or the Self-Service Check-in Kiosk, proceed directly to your gate.
  • If you need a boarding pass, see a Northwest agent.

Curbside baggage check cannot be used for:

  • International itineraries including Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
  • Baggage that exceeds piece allowance, is oversize or overweight.
  • Pets traveling as checked baggage.
