However, it's always best to prepare for the worst case scenario.
1. If you check in curbside with a twenty in your hand, no problem.

2. Heavy stuff in the smaller suitcase, light stuff in the bigger one. Make 'em under 50 lbs. each, and the folks behind you in line won't be waiting while you repack.
