For the final journey in the private plane, the luggage weight limit is 25lbs per person (including carry-ons, cameras, etc). It is very important that you use a suitcase which is not hard-sided, as it will have to fit into the pod under the plane: a soft duffel bag is ideal. If possible bring your luggage as a carry on as this saves time and avoids the risk of lost luggage.
