Customers can take on board one small piece of hand luggage that will fit in the overhead storage compartment or under the seat. Please keep in mind that the overhead storage compartments on buses are usually smaller than those found on airplanes.
Maximum bag sizes that are commonly used for airline carry-on, such as wheeled rectangular bags are typically too large to be taken onboard the bus and will not be permitted in the passenger area.
We suggest a bag with dimensions no larger than a briefcase as being about the correct size for carriage onto the bus.
