Pool baggage allowance
Explanation:
Don't forget, a group of people travelling together can 'pool' their baggage to take advantage of any free checked in baggage allowances. If you do this, you will all need to be at the airport at the same time with your baggage.

Combine can work too, but I like pool.

  -> Thank you Sergei

agree  Kevin Kelly: All the airlines care about is the average baggage weight per passenger, and pooling can allow some passengers to travel with more than would normally be allowed.

Pooled baggage allowance


Explanation:
"pooled" is far clearer than "pool" because the latter appears to refer to a swimming pool; "pooled" specifically means "brought together"
