Local flights allow 25 lb (about 11 kg) of luggage, and each extra pound costs $1. This is the airline’s rule, so please check it when you book your flight. The last stretch is on foot, so a backpack is easier than a suitcase, but our porters are there to help, and a suitcase is fine if that’s what you have.
