The > estimate for checked luggage is 25 pounds for each bag. Ours are not even that high. We use 170/175 and 24 for a checked bag that weighs up to 49 lbs. If it weighs 50 lbs., we count it as a heavy 60 lb. bag. I was also told that Corporate Airlines here in STL went to an average passenger weight of 203 as of May 1st., making the JS32 a fifteen pax/fifteen bag bird, just a little lost revenue there.
