REMARKS/SUGGESTIONS

Luggage rules: Luggage rules and limits are set by governmental and airline policy. Enforcement of the
rules may include spot checks or may be inconsistent. However one thing is the same across the board:
If you are found to have oversized or overweight luggage, you will be subject to additional fees, to be
assessed by—and paid to—the airline in question.

Luggage weight for Bhutan pre-trip extension: Although your flights to/from Bhutan allow for 44 lbs
of checked luggage, your flights within India only allow for 33 lbs. If you bring 44 lbs you’ll face luggage
fees in India, which could range from $75-$90 per person on the main trip alone (more if you are taking
a post-trip extension). These fees—which are subject to change—would be paid by you to the airline in
question at their discretion.
Carry-on size for Bhutan: We recommend that you keep your carry-on within the size limits outlined
above for this extension. Depending on which plane is being used the day you fly to Bhutan, there may
or may not be room in the overhead compartments for American-sized carry-ons. You are allowed to
bring a personal item, such as a lady’s purse, an overcoat, an umbrella, or a walking stick in addition to
your carry-on.

TIP: Our regional staff suggests bringing your coat or jacket on the plane for the flight to Bhutan and
wearing your sturdiest shoes. That way you have these items even if your checked luggage is lost or
delayed, but they don’t take up room in your small carry-on.

Don’t Forget:

• These luggage limits may change. If the airline(s) notify us of any changes, we will
include an update in your Final Documents booklet.

week or so prior to departure. For your convenience, we maintain a list of the toll-free
