Getting ready for your next trip? ✈️ Whether you're heading to the airport for a weekend getaway, a family vacation, or a business trip, knowing what you can bring aboard Michigan Flyer can make packing a little easier.
We want every passenger to have a comfortable ride, and that starts with knowing what to expect when it comes to luggage. Here's a quick breakdown of what you can bring along.
🧳 What Can I Bring on Board?
Each ticketed passenger can bring the following at no additional charge:
- One checked bag: Stored underneath the coach.
- One onboard item: Such as a small suitcase or backpack that fits in the overhead compartment or underneath your seat. Maximum dimensions are 22” x 14” x 9” and maximum weight is 25 pounds.
- One personal item: Such as a purse or laptop bag.
Traveling with little ones? We're happy to accommodate a few extra essentials. Diaper bags (one per child) and child safety seats (with the purchase of a child fare ticket) are also permitted on board at no additional charge.
*Medical or mobility devices are permitted at no charge.
🛄 A Few Things to Know About Checked Luggage
Before zipping up your suitcase, keep these checked-bag guidelines in mind:
- Maximum weight: 50 pounds per bag
- Maximum dimensions: 62 inches total (length + width + height)
- Additional checked bags: $15 per bag
- Maximum checked bags: Three per person
Extra or oversized luggage is accepted on a standby basis, depending on available space. Bags that exceed the standard size restrictions may also require special handling and an additional $15 fee.
Have something a little out of the ordinary, like golf clubs, skis, hockey equipment, or a musical instrument? Some items are exceptions to the standard size restrictions. Give our office a call before your trip if you have questions about bringing specialty equipment.
🚲 Traveling with a Stroller or Bicycle?
- Strollers and child safety seats: Can be stowed underneath the coach at no additional charge.
- Bicycles: Count as one checked bag. Only one bicycle per person is permitted, subject to availability. Bikes must be broken down and secured in an appropriate carrying case or box.
- E-bikes and e-scooters: Unfortunately, these cannot be transported on our motor coaches.
If you're planning to travel with a bicycle or specialty equipment, we recommend contacting our office ahead of time to confirm availability and requirements.
✈️ Don't Forget to Check Your Airline's Rules, Too!
One last packing tip: Michigan Flyer's baggage allowance and your airline's baggage requirements are two separate things.
If you're connecting to a flight at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW), be sure to check your airline's carry-on and checked luggage restrictions before heading out. TSA screening requirements may also vary depending on the airport and checkpoint.
A little planning ahead can help prevent unexpected surprises when you reach the airport.
