BAGGAGE ALLOWANCES
Posted 1/18/2007
Printable Fact Sheet
C-21 and C-12 (most common aircraft out of Peterson AFB):
Baggage will be limited to 30 pounds total weight.
C9:
Limited to two pieces at 55 pounds combined weight.
C-5, C-17, C-130 and most other aircraft:
Passengers are authorized to check two pieces of baggage not to exceed 70 pounds each (140 pounds total) and 62 linear inches (the sum of the length plus the width plus the height). Single items exceeding 70 pounds and/or 62 linear inches will be counted as two pieces and, therefore, fulfill the allowance for a passenger. A3, B-4, duffle, and sea bags will be allowed as one piece up to 80 linear inches as long as they do not exceed 100 pounds. The same applies to large garment bags, golf clubs, surfboards, snow skis, bicycles, fishing equipment, rucksacks, wheel chairs, and/or musical instruments. Snow skis, bicycles, and fishing equipment should be properly packed to avoid injury to baggage handlers or damage to other baggage. Only one of these bags per person will be the allowed exception. The second bag must still comply with size restrictions and is limited to 70 pounds. Family members may pool their baggage allowances.
Hand-Carried Baggage:
Each passenger is permitted to hand carry one article (small luggage, garment bags, backpack, etc.) and one personal item (cosmetic case, purse, briefcase, small boxes, packages, etc.) for storage in the passenger cabin area. The weight of these items will not be considered as part of the passenger's baggage authorization.
- Hand-carried baggage must fit under the seat or in the overhead compartment, if available.
- Hand carried items will be no larger than 45 linear inches and must fit under the passenger's seat or in the overhead compartment. Items that are too large will not be accepted for passenger cabin storage and must be checked-in.
- Hand-carried baggage on C-9 aircraft is limited to 5 x 17 x 12 inches (34 linear
inches).
- Passengers processing for travel on C-5 aircraft should be advised of the difficulty in climbing the deck access ladder with bulky hand-carried items.
Child Seats:
Passengers may also hand carry Federal Aviation Administration-approved infant car seats intended for use in flight. It is no longer mandatory to have a car seat on AMC owned or controlled aircraft, however, it is encouraged that children be restrained in car seats, which are appropriate to their size and weight. All passengers, regardless of age, must be assigned their own seat. Infant car seats and fold up type strollers will not count against the passenger's normal baggage
allowance.
Pet Shipments:
- No "Pet Shipments" go out of Peterson AFB. (Due to lack of aircraft and PCS moves)
Below is some information on "Pet Shipments". For more information contact your local travel office.
- Household pets (dogs and cats) may be shipped as excess baggage to certain locations.
- Pet shipments will be in conjunction with PCS moves only (IAW DOD 4515.13-R, Air Transportation Eligibility and DTR Part I). Sponsors will accompany the pet to the final destination. Pets will not remain behind unaccompanied. Pets will normally travel in the aircraft cargo hold area but may be accepted for shipment in the cabin area if they meet the requirements. No more than three pets can be
shipped in the cabin area.
Disclaimer:
- Baggage weight may be limited due to type of aircraft or other restrictions. Check with your Passenger Service Center for more information.
- There are no baggage lockers or storage facilities at the Peterson AFB Passenger Terminal.
- Disposition of unauthorized weight or oversized baggage is the responsibility of the owner. Shipments may be made at personal expense through postal facilities or, if otherwise eligible, may be shipped at government expense. Personal arrangements may be made with the traffic management office for forwarding according to existing directives.
