BlogPrivate Jet, Luggage
As we enter the summer holiday season you may wonder if all the luggage you wish to carry on your vacation will fit on your private jet flight, and what kind of equipment are you allowed to bring?
The exact amount of luggage you can take depends on different factors such as the type of aircraft you are flying on, number of passengers onboard, length of runway, and what type and size of luggage you have.
As a general rule, there will fit at least one suitcase and a small carry-on bag per passenger – based on the maximum number of passengers the aircraft can carry.
Large jets, such as the Global 6000 have big baggage holds to handle sufficient amounts of luggage and are a good choice if you are looking to take the whole family on vacation and plan to bring recreational items onboard such as golf clubs or other sports equipment.
Entry Level Jets: Holds approximately 4 to 5 pieces of luggage
Light Jet: Holds approximately 6 to 7 pieces of luggage
Mid Size Jet: Holds approximately 7 to 9 pieces of luggage
Super-Mid Size Jet: Holds approximately 9 to 11 pieces of luggage
Heavy Jets: Holds approximately 10 to 14 pieces of luggage
Ultra Long Range Jets: Holds approximately 12 to 15 pieces of luggage
