As a general guideline, each seat on a light or midsize jet is intended for one passenger and one piece of luggage, typically weighing 23 kilograms (50 lbs).
Large jets, designed for longer trips and extended stays, often allow for more than one piece of luggage per person.
Here’s an estimate of how much luggage your private jet can hold:
| Jet Size | Number of Passengers | Total Items of Luggage |
|---|---|---|
| Light jet | 6 | 6 |
| Midsize jet | 8 | 8 |
| Large jet | 12 | 20 |
VIP airliners like the Boeing Business Jet and Airbus Corporate Jet feature dedicated cargo compartments beneath the cabin, enabling them to accommodate significantly more luggage. For instance, Insijets previously facilitated a journey for a Saudi princess with the equivalent of two moving trucks’ worth of luggage, all of which fit comfortably in the VIP airliner.
These figures are approximate and can vary depending on the specific aircraft model. This is particularly relevant when transporting irregularly shaped items such as skis, golf clubs, or musical instruments.
Before finalizing your flight arrangements, it’s advisable to verify with your charter broker the aircraft’s baggage capacity to ensure it meets your needs for the trip.
