I actually flew with Cape Air last summer when visiting Martha’s Vineyard, and I learned a lot about their baggage policies the hard way. Initially, I assumed the baggage rules were like big airlines — but since Cape Air operates smaller planes, the limits are tighter. You get one small carry-on (under 20 lbs) and one personal item for free, but checked bags usually cost around $30–$40 depending on the route. I added mine later because I forgot during booking — and honestly, the easiest way was just calling their support at 877-764-3622.
The rep was super friendly and walked me through how to pay for my checked bag, plus confirmed the weight limits. It literally took five minutes. They even adjusted my flight details when I had to shift my departure time due to weather delays. So if you’re flying Cape Air, I’d definitely recommend calling 877-764-3622 before your trip. You can add baggage, double-check fees, or even cancel and rebook right there. It saves a ton of time compared to guessing online. Overall, it’s a smooth process once you know the limits — just plan light and call ahead!
