Hi "E",
It seems to me that the inter island weight is 20 or 25 kilograms. Several
times we've been over limit trying to take cast iron frying pans, etc. to
Pico...(one year I made pottery plates!). They sometimes charge for the extra
weight and sometimes not....like last year....she told us they "were'nt that
much over" and let us go without paying extra. When we took our bikes over 3
years ago the charge to get them from Arkansas to Providence was $80.00
each....SATA didn't charge us anything extra....just took them as checked
baggage although they would have made us pay a tax on them except we showed
them they were not new so they let them in with no tax. I like flying SATA very
much ....especially out of Providence....the inter island flights are
iffy....one year they had so much cargo on the plane from Sao Miguel to Pico
that they didn't put all of the passenger luggage on the plane! It was
delivered to the adega the next day....(that was the time that at the last
minute they told me my carry on was too big so I quickly checked it without
thinking about the fact that I had about 1200.00 euros cash in it! Every penny
was there when it came the next day along with all my jewelry and other stuff
that I carry on in US flights! One interesting thing about the inter island
flights is the no reserved seating.....people practically rush the gate to get
the seats they want although they do allow children and elderly priority.
Best regards,
