I was concerned about luggage when we went to Utila last May, as on paper they officially had your typical small plane restrictions of 1 50# checked and one modest carryon, or something like that. Turned out to be no issue, in practice they seemed content to stuff whatever on the plane and I'm not sure they weighed anything (don't even think they had a way to weigh anything in Utila.) I imagine they'd notice something that was starting to look too much like cargo, but didn't seem interested in giving grief to divers and their typical luggage. YMMV.
And our connections went very smoothly. Our flight from San Pedro to Utila was scheduled to stop in La Ceiba, but I guess there was no one to stop off of pickup so they didn't. No surprise there, but I suspect if the flight wasn't scheduled to stop and they had a reason to stop someplace they would have. And there were way too many people for one of our flights so another flight materialized. Seemed like a pretty mellow bunch, making it up as they went along. I did get the sense if they did have to delay some excess luggage to a later flight they would do a good job of handling it. (Some local island airlines give you the feeling they're actually on top of things, and some not so much.)
