Cape Air based in Barnstable, Massachusetts, flies to over 43 locations in the Northeastern United States, the Midwest, Eastern Montana, and the Caribbean. Cape Air is indeed the leading independent airline based in the United States, with a fleet of 89 aircraft as well as up to 550 regular trips.

Cape Air baggage policy

Travelers on Cape Air are allowed to carry one item of cabin baggage and one personal item, including a briefcase, small backpack, or camera bag, onboard. Your carry-on luggage needs to fit into the overhead bins or beneath the seat in front of you on a Cape Air flight.

Excluding some musical instruments which fit in the Cape Air upper storage or under-seat capacity currently available, carry-on luggage should not exceed 114 cm in overall width, length, and height, including any wheels and handles. Due to the restricted overhead capacity aboard Cape Air aircraft, travelers on flights with 50 seating or less are only allowed to bring one personal item onboard.

Carry-on luggage has no max weight limit. This, however, varies by airport. When flying with Cape Air, the most typical fees for travelers flying domestically are the following: Cape Air may charge some additional fees for excess baggage. This could cause confusion while switching routes.

Most places permit dogs, cats, and house birds (birds are only admitted on domestic flights) to be transported onboard for a cost. The dogs must be able to fit into a carrier box which slips under the front seat. Cape Air considers the carrier to be a single piece of carry-on luggage.

Any luggage weighing over 50 pounds qualifies as overweight or oversized. In addition to any normal, extra, or oversized baggage costs, Cape Air charges surcharges for overweight baggage. On Cape Air, checked luggage exceeding 99 pounds is not permitted.
