Note: Check the weight of your luggage as there are weight limits on flights, especially if your trip includes small aircraft. In this case, the weight limit is normally 40 pounds per person divided as follows: one 10 lb. carry-on piece of luggage and one 30 lb. checked bag - a soft duffle bag with no rigid bottom (except for rod cases). (If you have only one soft duffle bag it must be no bigger than length: 30in; Width: 22in; Height: 11in).
