BEFORE YOU GO
PLANNING YOUR TRIP

LUGGAGE GUIDELINES
Each customer is limited to a total of 45 pounds, and when traveling as a group, no individual bag shall weigh more than 45 pounds. Please keep in mind when packing that no solid fuels, flammable gas or liquids are allowed on the plane.
Please consider the round dimensions of the aircraft when choosing your luggage. Our aircraft can hold all of your luggage, but the shape of the aircraft does not allow for large bags to fit inside. All customers carrying conventional luggage must bring no larger than carry-on size luggage. If it does not fit in an overhead bin of an airline plane, please choose a different type of bag.
Small to medium sized soft sided bags are best. This includes duffel-type bags and backpacks. If you are backpacking, larger backpacks are allowed. We DO NOT accept external metal frame packs.
Large international sized luggage will absolutely not fit inside the plane, regardless of their weight.
