1. Weight, Size and Quantity Restrictions
   The weight and dimensions restrictions for luggage apply to musical instruments. Please see Maximum Luggage Dimensions on Seair Seaplanes luggage page for more info (hyperlink https://staging.seairseaplanes.com/schedules-fares/cargo-pets/) for more detailed information on baggage and luggage allowances specific to aircraft type.
2. Cabin Storage Options
   At the aircraft, all bags including musical instruments, will be stowed in the cargo area, at the rear of the aircraft. For safety purposes, only very small items that will fit in the seat-back pocket may be carried with passengers into the cabin.
3. Options in the Event of Aircraft Downgrading
   In the event passenger’s aircraft is downgraded to a smaller aircraft, Seair Seaplanes will take all reasonable efforts to accommodate instruments, however, there may be restrictions due to the size of aircraft. If the instrument does not travel with the traveller, it will be placed on the next available flight that can accommodate its size.
4. Fees for Transporting Musical Instruments
   Passenger’s musical instrument will count towards their luggage weight allowance (based on purchased fare). If total luggage weight is in excess of the guaranteed allowance, all additional luggage (including musical instrument) weight will incur additional baggage weight fees as per the specific fare terms and conditions. Anything above the guaranteed luggage allowance travels on a space available, standby basis.
