Harbour Air Seaplanes Baggage Allowance

The guaranteed luggage allowance associated with your reservation depends on which goFARE and route you are booking.

Harbour Air is happy to accept many types of luggage including backpacks, duffel bags, carry-on and full size suitcases, plus many more! When you arrive for check-in, please bring all your baggage to the desk to be weighed and tagged. You may check in your bags or keep them with you until boarding the flight.

At the aircraft, all bags including carry-on items will be stowed in the cargo area of the aircraft. For safety purposes, only very small items that will fit in the seat-back pocket may be carried with you into the cabin. Upon arrival at your destination, your bags will be unloaded by crew members and handed to you on the dock at the aircraft.

Please keep in mind, it is important your chosen luggage is able to securely store all items, ensuring all items are in fastened compartments or pockets. Harbour Air has a unique operating environment where luggage is passed from dock, over water, to aircraft. To ensure all your personnel items are safe and secure, Harbour Air recommend verifying your luggage and all contents are well secured before check-in. Harbour Air cannot be held liable for any contents that may fall out of passenger’s luggage.

Harbour Air operate a variety of sizes of aircraft from the smaller DHC-2 Beaver up to the largest aircraft the DHC-6 Twin Otter. The type and size of aircraft will depend on which route you are travelling. Below are the maximum size dimensions for individual pieces of luggage on each aircraft type. Please note, for safety reasons individual bags may not weigh more than 50lbs each.
