Board bags

Board-bag logistics

Board-bag allowance, fees, and length limits differ by carrier and by each leg of the routing — including the regional or domestic hop, which is usually the tightest. We confirm the exact policy for your ticketed itinerary before you book and flag any leg that needs a pre-paid oversize reservation.

Transfers & local movement

Private road transfer from the domestic airport, arranged with the property.
