Allowances for Infants

Adults accompanying infants are entitled to check-in one stroller, bassinet or car seat. If used to board the aircraft these items will be stowed in the aircraft hold.

Excess baggage can be paid for at the airport or prepaid through your booking agent. If prepaid there is no refund offered if the actual baggage lifted weighs less than the weight paid for.

UNACCOMPANIED BAGGAGE

Unaccompanied Baggage is passenger baggage sent separately as personal-effects cargo, and not as baggage accompanied by a passenger.

Passenger baggage is a person’s personal wearing apparel, portable sporting goods and portable musical instruments.

It does NOT include combustion/electric engines, motor parts and tools of trade.

When personal effects are consigned as Unaccompanied Baggage, the passenger must present a copy of their passenger ticket to prove they are genuine passengers.

Please call one of our Cargo Agents listed below to get a quote. Sending your excess baggage as unaccompanied baggage is often cheaper. Yuou will need to have the baggage with the cargo agent a number of days prior to travel – the cargo agent will advise you of the local requirements.
