We have been traveling for many years until Covid, using the same luggage. We now find that even though we easily meet the weight restrictions for checked baggage, and we are splurging on First Class for the first time, one of our normally to be checked bags, and both of our carry on bags are each ONE INCH too many linear inches as per the requirement of now counting each bag’s wheels, on American, Delta and Alaska airlines, the three US carriers we will be flying to Santiago, Chile and back from Buenos Aires in early 2023 for a lengthy cruise. For those of you who have already resumed post Covid travel, do we really need to buy new luggage because of 3 extra inches?

If one tests positive and cannot get on a plane back to the USA that person will need to go into quarantine in a hotel. I assume that one’s travel insurance will cover the hotel, meals and medical costs, but what responsibility does the cruise line have? Will they assist with rescheduling flights? Airport transfers? Finding a hotel? Does the travel insurance have a cap on the price of a hotel room?
