Each ticketed guest will have the following baggage allowance, with a combined Maximum Baggage Weight of no more than 35 pounds (lbs):

• 1 Gate-Checked bag sufficiently small and lightweight not to exceed 22 x 14 x 9 inches (length x width x height).
• 1 Personal Item (e.g. small purse, briefcase, electronic device) not to exceed 36 linear inches (length + width + height = 36”).

The aircraft does not contain storage space under the seat or overhead in which to safely stow in-cabin items. Accordingly, most Personal Items must be carried to the aircraft by the Guest and stowed by a Backcountry agent into the designated baggage compartments prior to boarding. For additional baggage related details including liability limits, prohibited items, and accessibility requirements please refer to the Backcountry contract of carriage.

Since Backcountry does not have agreements with other airlines, luggage cannot be transferred to other airlines.

Due to limited baggage capacity, we strongly encourage passengers to limit themselves to the baggage allowances specified above.
