Civair baggage allowance
South AfricaCivair does not publish detailed baggage allowances online. As a charter operator, baggage limits are determined on a per-flight basis depending on aircraft type, total passenger weight, fuel requirements, and cargo. Heavier baggage or additional cargo may increase charter costs due to weight-and-balance and fuel consumption impacts.
Baggage information:
| Item | Allowance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Checked baggage | Negotiable per flight | Weight and items count toward total aircraft payload |
| Carry-on baggage | Negotiable per flight | Must fit safely in cabin and not obstruct exits |
| Sporting equipment | Case-by-case | Firearms, hazardous materials, and oversized items require prior approval |
Important: Confirm all baggage details and weight limits with Civair when booking. Excess baggage may not be accommodated or may require payment of additional charter fees. Prohibited items include hazardous materials, weapons (unless properly licensed and declared), and explosives.
What happens if my baggage exceeds the weight limit?
Charter aircraft have strict weight-and-balance requirements for safety. If baggage exceeds the agreed limit, you may need to reduce weight, pay additional charter fees, or arrange separate cargo transport. Discuss excess baggage before your flight.
Are there size restrictions for baggage?
While specific dimensions are not published, baggage must fit within the aircraft cabin or cargo hold without blocking emergency exits or safety equipment. Oversized items should be discussed with Civair during booking.
Can I bring hazardous materials?
Most hazardous materials are prohibited on charter flights. This includes flammable liquids, compressed gases, and certain medications. Contact Civair in advance if you need to transport special items; some may require specific packaging and documentation.
