Question: What is the baggage weight limit for international flights?
I’ve heard it changed recently, and I wanted to know if it was 50lbs or 70lbs for international flights, specifically to Europe. This is the checked in baggage, not the carry on.

70 lbs, but do not make it exact, at least 68 lbs to avoid hassle, 2 baggages each person. I just had my international travel last July.
Each airline may have a different weight for international flights. I know of two carriers, one allows 50 pounds, the other allows 75 pounds. You need to check with the carrier(s) you are flying to make sure you don’t get charged.
Another person posted a message last week in this category about being bumped from a United Flight, rebooked on Lufthansa. United allowed 70, Lufthansa only allowed 50, they got surcharged and asked people how to get the money refunded.
