How much luggage can I take on a private flight?

Private aircraft provides the fastest and most comfortable transportation. Booking a private flight allows you the freedom to take your luggage on-board with you or have the luggage stored in the hold during flight.

The amount of luggage you can take on board depends on several things such as the private aircraft you are flying in, the number of passengers, and the size and type of your luggage. Each aircraft specifies the amount of cubic feet available for luggage.

Personal Items

Dimensions must not exceed 18 x 14 x 8 inches (45 x 35 20 cm) including handles and wheels. Pilots have final say in whether luggage may be flown or not. Examples include: a purse, small backpack, etc.
