Carry-on
We allow one small carry on per passenger. Examples of allowable carry-ons are personal bags such as a purse or a small backpack. Maximum weight of these items cannot exceed 15lbs (6.8kgs), and due to limited cabin space, all carry-ons must fit in your lap.
If your carry-on is larger than the above requirements, your carry-on must be checked-in.
Checked Baggage
Checked bags shall be limited in height to 30 inches (76cm), limited in width to 18 inches (46cm), and limited in depth to 13.5 inches (34cm).
To measure your bag, place it upright with the wheels (if it has them) on the bottom and the extension handle on top, but don’t extend it. Measure from the bottom of the wheels up to the tallest part, which is likely to be the handle. This is the bag’s height.
Second, measure the width from side to side at the widest point, which is probably the back of the suitcase, if it is soft sided. Hard shell bags are generally more symmetrical and the width doesn’t vary from bottom to top.
Last, check your bag’s depth. The depth of your suitcase, like its height, is especially important due to the limited size of the cargo hold of the aircraft you will be flying. To get the accurate depth of your suitcase, lay it flat on its back and measure from the back to the front with the bag packed.
Excess Baggage
Excess bags may be placed on a space available status or transported separately as cargo and may be subject to additional fees.
Oversized Baggage
Due to cargo hold limitations, most bags that exceed 62 linear inches (157cm) in total dimensions may not be able to be transported at all. Tropic Air will not be responsible for these bags getting to your final destination.
Oversized bags may be also be placed on a space available status or transported separately as cargo and may be subject to additional fees.

BAGGAGE LIABILITY
Tropic Air assumes no liability for fragile or perishable articles or items intended for resale. Do not pack valuables or irreplaceable articles such as cash, camera equipment, jewellery, medicine, eyeglasses, securities, legal documents, antiques, computer and electronic items in any checked bag as Tropic Air will not be liable for damage to or loss of these items.
We do not accept liability for cuts, dents, nicks, or scrapes incurred commonly in the handling of baggage or for the failure or loss of wheels, handles, straps and other appurtenances. We also do not accept liability for the failure of a bag to contain its contents as evidenced by splitting of seams, zippers or other closures. Maximum liability for the loss or damage to a bag and its contents will be limited to applicable government or IATA rules.
Wheelchairs & Strollers
Wheelchairs
Customers with disabilities are not required to provide us with any advance notice of the need for assistance; however, doing so helps us better prepare for the number of customers who will need our help. There is no charge for mobility devices to be carried as checked baggage.
We recommend that customers with disabilities arrive at the airport earlier than the recommended check-in time so that they can be assisted though security screening etc by our staff. Passengers travelling for medical reasons may also need extra time for their medical travel documents to be examined and clearance to travel given.
Unfortunately, due to the size of the baggage hold of our aircraft, we may be unable to carry some powered wheelchairs, and we ask that this be planned for accordingly.
We give passengers the opportunity to proactively notify us of any specific disability-related needs by emailing us at reservations@tropicair.com
Customers may also advise us of any disability-related travel needs at the time of booking by telephone or, if a reservation has already been made, by calling (+501) 226-2626 prior to travel.
Strollers / Car Seats
Tropic Air permits car seats and strollers for infants and children to be carried for FREE.
