Unaccompanied Baggage (UB) – UB ships by plane and is meant to get those critical items that a SM and family will need as soon as the lease as signed. This shipment usually takes 2 weeks, mostly due to customs. No food stuff or liquids can be shipped in UB and there is a smaller weight allowance for it.
Weight allowances are restricted coming to Korea. USA Command sponsored families are authorized 50% of their permanent change of station weight allowance while unaccompanied personnel are authorized only 25% or 2,500 lbs.whichever is greater.
All carry-on luggage must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. In addition to a personal item (overcoat, laptop, purse) passengers are allowed one carry-on bag whose dimensions (length + height + width) does not exceed 115 cm/45 ins and which does not weigh more than 12 kg/25 lbs.
