Luggage you can bring: 1 free large suitcase (up to 50 pounds) and 1 free handbag is allowed.

Want to bring more? Buy an additional ticket for an extra suitcase and handbag. Due to restricted overhead space, any carry-on luggage will be deducted from your allowed number of suitcases.

Special Items: You can carry items like surfboard, golf clubs, or musical instruments with you. If it fits within our cargo hold dimensions, no worries! If it’s your only item, it’ll be stored under the bus. If not, it will be considered an extra piece of luggage and must be stored after the bags of every other traveler.
