Usually luggage for traveling, or possessions. Also intangibles attached to a person that get in the way, e.g. reputation.
But also a meaning marked by Merriam-Webster as "dated", namely "a young woman", so memorably noted by Flanders & Swann in a remark about too much excess baggage, "I finally had to leave her behind."
