How Much Luggage Can I Take On A Private Jet?
What can come onboard?
Chartering a private jet means you are not limited to typical commercial luggage allowances; instead, pets are welcomed (usually at no extra cost), and full-size liquids are allowed too. Depending on the aircraft type, the larger jets in particular grant more space, which also allows room for items such as large sporting equipment like skis, snowboards, and golf clubs.
Turboprop Luggage Allowance
One of the most advanced, lavish and adaptable turboprop jet known as Pilatus PC-12 NGX offers generous cabin space. Accommodating 6 passengers with increased baggage capacity; this private aircraft ensures sufficient leg and headroom in cabin, for the most comfortable inflight experience. As well as offering 9,34 m³ cabin volume and 1,13 m³ luggage compartment volume, which can be accessed during the flight due to being situated by the rear of the aircraft. Although the available space is dependent on the selected seating configuration, a typical 8 seat arrangement will grant enough room for 8 suitcases and 5 carry-on bags.
Very Light and Light Jet Luggage Allowance

At full capacity in the cabin, the club arrangement and folding side tables allows each passenger enough space for a wheeled bag/suitcase and one personal carry-on, making it a practical allowance for short business trips or weekends away.

Do you have to ‘check in’ luggage when flying on a private jet?
Much like flying commercially, your luggage and personal items may be scanned prior to boarding. However, there are commonly no queues, so ‘checking in’ is effortless and time-efficient compared to the standard process before a commercial flight. Less time is spent in tedious baggage halls, waiting for luggage amongst others, instead more time can be spent enjoying some of the worlds finest private jet terminals, or reducing travel time between your two desired locations.
Can you access your luggage from the cabin?
As a result of passengers and luggage being located on the same level, this means that you are allowed access to your belongings during the flight. This is most commonly found on larger private jets as there is greater storage for luggage.
