What is the maximum weight for my carry-on? expand_more

The maximum weight for your personal item in the cabin is 10 lb. It must fit easily under the seat in front of you so it does not block exits or emergency aisles.

There is a variable fee based on the extra weight or volume at the ticket office. Acceptance depends strictly on available space and the bus’s legal weight limits on that departure. We recommend checking in advance at your departure terminal.

Pets

Can I travel with pets? expand_more

Pets are accepted only in the luggage hold (never in the passenger cabin), in a suitable rigid carrier that is well ventilated and clean.

Officially accredited service or support animals must be reported at the ticket office before the trip.
