Most of our safaris in Africa, Australia or Argentina involve transfers in small aircraft with limited baggage space - both in SIZE and Weight. Because laundry services are available pretty much on a daily basis, it is easy to pack light. However, if you don't feel you can pack lightly, it is possible to charter a larger plane to take your baggage!

You cannot pack objects which are valuable or dangerous (such as jewellery, flammable liquids) or perishable (food or medicines). For more information, see on the website the baggage regulations.

The maximum garbage can size limit is 77 litres. The maximum weight of garbage can/bag is 45 lbs. We ask that you try to limit your household to three bags/cans or less per week (although there is no maximum number of bags at this time). Do not overload bags. If you are on Burnaby curbside garbage collection you may put one bulky item per week (depending on what it is) with your regular garbage for collection. Call Sanitation at 604.294.

Airlines allow each traveler to bring up to 2 pieces of baggage for check in, each measuring no more than 62 inches for a maximum of 44 lbs. per piece of luggage, plus one carry on bag that can fit in the overhead bin. If you go over your weight allowed, you will pay per bag due to recent changes in DOT regulations.

Unfortunately, there is no longer a standard answer to this question. Each airline has their own restrictions, with more and more airlines charging extra for excess baggage. Your Way Travel will answer these questions for you after we know the flights you have chosen.

There are new federal guidelines that all airlines have adopted since 9/11 that requires them to charge an additional fee for all baggage or containers over 50 pounds.
