Key policies
Baggage allowance
As a regional operator, Colgan Air's baggage allowances adhered strictly to its mainline partner policies (such as United Airlines or US Airways). Typically, passengers were allowed one personal item and one carry-on, with standard checked bag fees applied based on the mainline carrier's rules.
Change policy
Ticket modifications and cancellations were governed by the mainline ticketing partner. Standard non-refundable tickets generally incurred change fees, while fully flexible fares allowed modifications without penalty.
Check-in
Passengers checked in directly through the respective mainline partner's website, mobile app, or airport kiosks. Check-in typically opened 24 hours prior to scheduled departure.
