Can I bring luggage on a helicopter flight?
Wondering if you can bring luggage on a helicopter flight? If you’re planning a helicopter flight with Helifly, it’s a common question. In this article, we explain all you need to know about luggage on a helicopter flight to ensure you travel comfortably and safely. Learn about weight restrictions, dimensions, and specific airline policies.
Luggage Restrictions and Limitations
Helicopters have significantly less storage space compared to airplanes, which means there are stricter limitations on the type and amount of luggage you can bring. It is essential to plan ahead and consider both the size and weight of your bags to ensure a smooth boarding process. Generally, we recommend traveling with light, compact, and easily manageable luggage to avoid any inconvenience during your helicopter flight.
Allowed Size and Weight
The specific luggage restrictions vary depending on the helicopter model and the total number of passengers onboard. Typically, each passenger is allowed to carry luggage weighing between 15 and 20 kg (33 to 44 lbs). Additionally, the luggage must fit within designated storage compartments or under the seats to maintain safety and comfort during the flight. Oversized or excessively heavy bags are usually not permitted.
Recommended Types of Luggage
- Small soft or hard-shell suitcases that are easy to handle and store
- Medium-sized backpacks or travel bags with flexible shapes
- Handbags, totes, or small carry-ons that fit comfortably in compact spaces
Items Not Permitted
Large, bulky luggage or items that cannot be securely stored inside the helicopter cabin are strictly prohibited. This includes oversized equipment or objects that could interfere with safety procedures or passenger comfort. Always avoid bringing items that may shift during flight or block emergency exits.
Practical Tips
- Contact the Helifly team in advance to confirm specific baggage policies related to your helicopter model and flight route.
- Avoid packing heavy, rigid, or awkwardly shaped items that are difficult to stow safely.
