Passengers Traveling with Excess Baggage

Excess Baggage

Each passenger is allowed 40 lbs of baggage. An excess rate is charged after 40 lbs—the per pound rate varies by destination. If traveling with more than 40 lbs to any village, please note:

  • Regardless of how much baggage you travel with, including the 40 lbs. of allowed baggage, your baggage may not fit in the aircraft the day you fly. Space varies according to number of passengers, body weights; fuel needed, and weather requirements. [Note that allowed baggage that does not make it on a flight has highest priority for the following flights]

  • To ensure your baggage arrives at your scheduled destination in time, consider sending excess up as freight up to one week early.

  • If sending early is not an option, ask about the availability and cost of next flight express.

Note that when checking in with more than 100 lbs of excess, we ask that you check in two hours early.

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT LIMITS

We ask all items are checked in units that weigh less than 50 lbs each. Passengers with items weighing more than 50 lbs may be asked to repackage. Items larger than 28” x 40” may not fit in our aircraft. We recommend all guns be carried in soft cases as they fit more readily into our wing lockers.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Hazardous materials must be checked separate from your luggage. A HAZMAT fee of $15 applies to all outbound materials, and paperwork must accompany all HAZMAT both inbound and outbound. All firearms must be unloaded. If you have a lot of potentially hazardous materials or are unsure if something is legal to transport, we recommend you bring your items in a day or two early to have them reviewed. Hazardous materials include, but are not limited to:

  • Bullets

  • Bear Spray / Pepper Spray

  • Alcohol over 40 proof

  • Aerosol cans ( Bug spray, hair spray, etc)

  • Fuel [May not be legal on aircraft]

  • Anything that once had fuel [May not be legal on aircraft]
