Pineapple Air
The context in a few words
Pineapple Air mostly operates within Bahamas and its immediate neighbours. It's the typical regional carrier profile: a tight fleet, focused routes, and a baggage policy that mirrors the regional norm.
For this carrier, the official numbers aren't surfaced clearly. Worth confirming before finalizing your bag — the cost of error at the counter can be steep.
In concrete terms: a typical "cabin format" suitcase weighs 2–3 kg empty for 55×40×20 cm. Weight is the recurring concern: at 2–3 kg empty, payload melts fast. Frequent travellers tune the bag to exact spec to avoid gate-side reclassification fees.
On the ground, agent discretion is wider than on majors. A bag that's slightly over may pass; a clearly oversized one ends up in the hold, sometimes free of charge, but with extra wait at arrival.
Don't overlook the allowed personal item — it's often the trick that saves a light trip. Handbag, laptop sleeve or small backpack, as long as it slides under the seat in front. On Pineapple Air, that's where books, headphones, water and flight essentials live without eating into the main carry-on.
