Our clients often ask before a private flight how much luggage will fit in the hold. Today we want to explore this topic and explain the differences depending on the size of the aircraft being rented.

How much luggage can I bring?

The smallest light jets, such as the Citation Mustang and Citation CJ2, typically accommodate several medium-sized checked suitcases, as well as suitcases and carry-on luggage. Some can also accommodate a stroller, medium-length skis, and garment bags. It's generally accepted that passengers can bring one piece of luggage per person.

Mid-sized jets, such as the Citation XLS+, offer significantly more luggage space. They can easily accommodate large checked suitcases, a stroller with a bassinet, and golf bags. Here, clients can take either a large suitcase per person, several smaller ones, or additionally backpacks and sports equipment.

Large aircrafts, such as super midsize jets and heavy jets, already have very spacious baggage compartments. They can accommodate suitcases, musical instruments, surfboards, and bicycles in carry-on bags. It's rare for customers to exceed the baggage allowances on the largest jets, unless they have very unusual dimensions to transport.

What’s interesting, the Pilatus PC-12 turboprop or Pilatus PC-24 jet, although small, are equipped with special cargo doors that allow for the loading of exceptionally wide and unusually sized items. These aircraft command attractive charter prices, which is why they're often used for special missions such as transporting animals, pallets, and specialized medical equipment.
