Baggage


Connecting Passengers

If you are connecting to or from one of our flights, take advantage of technology by printing your connecting boarding cards either at home before your departure or at one of our check-in locations.   We will do our best to provide priority boarding and re-entry through security for those passengers having to exit the gate area to claim checked luggage and re-check-in.   Please allow a minimum of 2 hours between flights if you are checking bags,  to ensure you make your connecting flights.

When you check-in with Public Charters, Inc.; we will identify checked and connecting baggage so that our staff can help expedite the delivery of checked baggage for added convenience.  Communication and information is the key…We cannot help you if you do not let us know your travel plans.  Please advise your travel planner or add your connecting flight information through your Public Charters online account.  Just log in, click on your flight, then click on “Click [HERE} to provide your connecting flight details”.  For more information, please contact our call center at 877-359-7595.

Make Your Trip Better Using 3-1-1

TSA and their security partners conducted extensive explosives testing since August 10, 2006 and determined that liquids, aerosols and gels, in limited quantities, are safe to bring aboard an aircraft. The one bag limit per traveler limits the total amount each traveler can bring.  Consolidating the bottles into one bag and X-raying them separately from the carry-on bag enables security officers to quickly clear the items.

3-1-1 for Carry On items= 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.

Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.

3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.

Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula and food, and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint. Officers may need to open these items to conduct additional screening.

Baggage Allowances & Additional Fees
The number of checked and carry-on bags can vary depending on the Air Carrier and type of Aircraft that is being used. A general rule of thumb is that we allow one-30 lb checked bag and one-14 lb carry-on (combined total of 44 lbs).

Passengers checking in luggage must be at check-in counter no later than one hour before flight departure.

Additional checked bags, overweight bags and specialty items, if accepted are charged additional fees. These fees are charged and collected at Check-In time for your flight and cannot be pre-paid.

Please refer to our Operator Participant Agreement to view more information on our baggage policies.
