Changes to Guaranteed Baggage Space Product Offering
May 11th, 2021
Pacific Coastal Airlines will be discontinuing sales of our “Guaranteed Baggage Space” product as of Wednesday, May 12. This product offered the ability for customers to confirm up to 200 lbs of baggage with no restriction on the number of pieces (with no single piece exceeding 70 lbs) and have the items accepted and processed at our airport check-in counters.
The reason why we are discontinuing this product is due to new expectations of transporting customers checked baggage as defined in the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) and logistical issues since we adapted “piece concept” for processing passengers checked baggage on average weights.
We continue to offer our Guaranteed Cargo product for customers to still have the ability to transport high priority goods on a specific flight. Our Guaranteed Cargo product offers confirmed space on an available flight for up to 200 pounds of dimensional cargo. Transporting Guaranteed Cargo with Pacific Coastal Airlines is accepted through our cargo facilities and must be dropped off for processing 90 minutes prior to a flights scheduled departure time. To learn more about our Guaranteed Cargo product please visit our cargo website or contact our cargo department at 1-855-615-1381 or cargoops@pacificcoastal.com to learn more.
