Valet Service
Pacific Coastal Airlines offers planeside valet service as an option for our customers to stow their carry-on bags. Due to the smaller dimensions of overhead storage and under seat space, passengers may place larger carry-on items on a planeside cart before boarding. These items will be identified and returned to the cart for retrieval at the foot of the aircraft stairs as customers deplane. Look for the Valet sign and find your bags waiting as you deplane. Fragile or high-value items must be carried into the cabin with you, as long as they fit the carry-on dimensions of the aircraft. They should not be left on the planeside cart.
