Ex. Item weights 2 lbs. Max. Insurance purchased would be for $600.00 value.
Carry-On Baggage
- FAA regulations require that all Carry-On Baggage be stowed during take off and landings. This limits the size of bags that are allowed as “Carry-On”. Please keep this in mind when checking in.
- Some of the bags not allowed as “Carry-On” are backpacks, laptops, or large bags.
- We will be happy to mark these items “fragile” before we put them through the bag well. You are welcome to keep the items with you until you board the plane and the pilot will stow it for you. We are sorry for the inconvenience but we only have your safety in mind.
