Luggage and The Bus
Our luggage restrictions match what airlines restrict; if you’re good to bring it on your flight as a carry-on or as a checked bag, then it’s good to be brought with you on your shuttle trip.
If you have additional checked bags or oversized luggage that you’re bringing, please get in contact with our office via email before booking to verify we have space for your belongings.
We currently operate 2 different shuttles for the West Kootenay/Spokane Winter Shuttle; which one we use depends on total capacity for the trip.

Our small shuttle is a 13-passenger shuttle-bus also offering a 1+2 seating arrangement, overhead storage for your personal bag, and rear storage for your suitcases.
