I have never had a problem with Tropic taking my overweight luggage..and I have been known to bring in 500lbs plus...art supplies..matts etc. my bags have never been oversized just over weight. Although I always say its fine if they go standby, they have always put them on the plane at no charge..which is good because the major airlines charge enough. I have flown tropic about 10 times with very overweight luggage. I did have a problem on Maya and the bag was not even overweight we were just going to Placencia from Caye Caulker and they did not have room.
