BUZZ Air is not authorized to carry HAZMAT or Dangerous Goods (DG) on any flight. If you’re uncertain, check the chart available on the FAA Website.

You are asked to pack in a duffel (soft sided) style bag. We encourage no more than two-small bags per passenger, instead of one large bag and would suggest limiting yourself to a no more than 30 pounds of baggage per passenger. This is due to the limited cargo compartment and weight distribution limitations on our aircraft. Your charter account executive will brief you further.

Also, consider that there may be weight limitations for your specific trip to your destination. Please contact a charter representative for more information.

INTO THE BAHAMAS:

To bring a dog, or any other type of pet, into the Bahamas you must first obtain an import permit from the Bahamian Department of Agriculture, at phone 242-325-7502. A permit fee will apply and require this to be completed in advance prior to departure. Be advised, this can take up to two-months to process the permit.

If you are coming from the USA or Canada, you will also require a veterinary health certificate issued 48 hours prior to departing the US along with a valid certificate of rabies vaccination.

INTO THE UNITED STATES:

Before bringing pets to the United States from abroad, please check with the current requirements on the United States Customs and Border Protection website.

If a pilot or crewmember is required to wait at your destination for a same-day return flight, and that waiting time exceeds one-hour, the following fees are billed to the customer:

Up One Hour Wait: No charge

Beyond One Hour Wait: $95/hour, up to five-hours. Beyond five-hours, an overnight is required and will incur an additional charge of $550/night (Domestic) or $750 (International).
