Frequently Asked Questions: US Summer Vacation & Great Migration (June – August) Travel
Can a family of 4 pool their 33 lb (15kg) bush plane luggage allowances into two 66 lb bags?
No. Aviation safety regulations require each individual bag to weigh under 33 lbs (15kg) and be 100% soft-sided so ground handlers can pack them into the narrow curved fuselage compartments of Cessna Grand Caravans.
Can we pay excess baggage fees on bush planes during the July–August migration?
No. Flights during July and August are booked to 100% passenger and cargo capacity. Domestic airlines (Safarilink, AirKenya, Governors) will offload excess bags onto the tarmac. Mustuds Nairobi luggage custody guarantees your extra bags remain secure.
