Look at you enjoying the great outdoors. When traveling with bicycles, skis, and snowboards, please note our special policy on accommodating your fun luggage.

• Skis and Snowboards may exceed 45 inches in length when securely wrapped in suitable material – for example: canvas, nylon or leather.
• Bicycles may not exceed 8 x 32 x 60 inches, and must be securely fastened and wrapped in a box, canvas, or other protective casing to prevent damage should items shift in the baggage compartment. For travelers with connecting schedules, keep in mind that we cannot guarantee your bicycle will be accepted by connecting bus carriers.

Please remember to take your prescription medication with you on board the bus in a carry-on bag. It's a best practice that you should avoid packing prescription medication in luggage that you'll have to stow in the luggage bay as that area of the bus is inaccessible while en route or in the event of an emergency.
