Baggage
For the safety and comfort of our passengers, we strictly enforce the baggage limits stated in the guidelines below. We encourage all passengers to read these guidelines when making travel plans.

Baggage Allowance
Each passenger is allowed the following baggage:
• One Standard/Average size checked bag
• One carry-on bag/item such as a laptop or regular sized briefcase

Carry-On Baggage
Passengers are allowed one (1) carry-on item onboard the helicopter.
The classification of carry-on item is exclusive of the following personal items, which may be carried on the passenger during the flight within reason:

• A handbag (Pocketbook or Purse)
• Briefcase(small)
• Laptop computer
• An Umbrella
• A Camera

US Helicopter limits carry-on bag dimensions to 17” x 10” x 18” due to limited storage volume. Any carry-on type baggage with a volume larger than this will have to be checked during the helicopter flight. Storage of carry-on baggage onboard the helicopter is limited to under the seat in front of the passenger or the in-cabin baggage cabinet.

Carry-on type baggage that cannot fit in the cabin of the helicopter will be taken as checked baggage on US Helicopter’s flight and tagged with a special high visibility tag.

The specially tagged carry-on type bag will be handed back to the passenger upon arrival at the destination.

If the passenger’s destination is one of the heliports, then the specially tagged carry-on type bag will be brought to the baggage claim area for passenger retrieval.

Checked Baggage
Helicopters have limited storage capacity in the baggage compartment. The baggage compartment is separate and not accessible from the passenger cabin.

Weight and Size Allowance
Maximum weight limitation of 50 lbs total per passenger. Maximum size and volume limitations of 62in. The size limitation of your luggage is calculated by adding the total outside dimensions of each bag, that is, length + width + height.

Excess Baggage and Oversize Baggage
If a passenger wishes to carry more than the baggage allowance, US Helicopter has the right to refuse the excess & oversized baggage due to the size/volume limitations of the aircraft baggage compartment. Please make other travel arrangements for any excess baggage or oversized baggage.

Additional bags may be taken – depending on available space. An excess bag charge of $80 may apply. The additional bag cannot weigh in excess of 60 lbs.

US Helicopter has the right to refuse baggage that falls into the oversize classification due to the size/volume limitations of the aircraft baggage compartment. Please make other travel arrangements for oversize baggage.

Golf clubs are considered oversize baggage and are thus restricted as noted above, however if you wish to travel with your golf clubs, a second seat must be purchased to assure space availability. This policy can be applied to other excess/oversize baggage within reason.
