Aircraft Weight Policy
For safety and to comply with aircraft weight limits, we carefully plan the total weight of all passengers and gear on our trips. Each passenger’s weight (including clothing, footwear, and gear) contributes to the overall group weight, which must stay within the aircraft’s capacity.
While there is a guideline of 200 pounds per person, this is flexible when considering the total group weight. Lighter passengers or smaller gear loads may help offset additional weight, and we will always strive to accommodate everyone in a fair and reasonable way.
Planning for Weight
To ensure accurate calculations:
- Please weigh yourself in the clothing and footwear you’ll wear on the trip.
- Weigh your fully packed gear separately.
If your total weight (including gear) is over 200 pounds, just let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Additional Considerations
In rare cases, weight overages may require adjustments:
- Packing lighter or leaving non-essential items behind.
- A small surcharge if the aircraft capacity requires it (this applies only when absolutely necessary and ranges from $250 per person based on the specific aircraft).
Our goal is always to minimize these situations and ensure your trip is seamless. We’ll work closely with you to make sure the group’s combined weight stays within limits, while still allowing you to enjoy your adventure fully.
