Surfboards, pets & luggage on charter flights
Charter aircraft are small, so a little planning around luggage, boards and pets goes a long way. The golden rule: tell us what you are bringing when you book, and we assign the right plane. Here is everything you need to know.
Luggage allowances
Each passenger has a standard allowance, and total weight genuinely matters on small aircraft. Pack light and favour soft duffel bags over hard cases — they stow far more easily and let us load more. If your group is travelling heavy, we can plan for a larger aircraft.
Surfboards and sports gear
Boards, golf clubs, dive gear and fishing tackle can all fly, but they must be declared in advance so we plan capacity and, if needed, assign a bigger plane. Heading to Tamarindo, Nosara or Golfito (for Pavones)? Mention your quiver and board lengths when booking — more in surfing Costa Rica.
Travelling with pets
Pets are welcome on most charters with advance notice. Share the species, size and carrier dimensions so we can confirm and prepare the cabin. Many families fly with dogs to the beach this way.
Special cargo
Wedding dresses, instruments, medical equipment, drones and business samples are all manageable — just flag anything bulky, fragile or sensitive ahead of time.
What to tell us when you book
- Total passengers and approximate luggage weight.
- Any oversized items: boards (with lengths), clubs, instruments, cargo.
- Pets — type, size and carrier.
- Anything fragile or temperature-sensitive.
