Baggage

Cabin Baggage

Passenger Cabin Baggage Allowance

Restriction on Cabin Baggage

Some items cannot be carried in the cabin of the aircraft and are therefore classified as Prohibited Items under this Conditions of Carriage (Prohibited Items).  Prohibited Items include but are not limited to weapons, restraining devices, knives and sharp tools or cutting implements such as scissors and screwdrivers, and some sporting goods such as bats and clubs.  We have the right to amend the list of Prohibited Items from time to time.   

Passengers carrying hypodermic needles will need to declare them at the screening point. Where possible, the Passenger should provide documentation or identification to confirm the Passenger’s relevant medical condition. Medication should have a professionally printed label identifying the medication or a manufacturer’s name or pharmaceutical label affixed.

Checked Baggage

Domestic Passenger Checked Baggage Allowance

Upon delivery to us of items you wish to be carried as Checked Baggage we will take custody of them, and issue a Baggage Identification Tag for each piece of your Checked Baggage.

• Stowage and weight limitations apply on some of our services and Baggage may at times need to be transported on a different flight to the Passenger.
• Checked Baggage will, whenever possible, be carried on the same aircraft as you, unless we decide for safety, security or operational reasons to carry it on an alternative flight.
• Baggage fees are non-refundable.

The following items must NOT be included in your Checked Baggage. You will be required to repack any such items into your Carry-On Baggage or make alternative arrangements for their transportation, as appropriate.

• Dangerous goods
• Fragile, delicate or perishable items
• laptops
• Items with a special value, such as money, jewellery, precious metals, silverware
• Negotiable papers, share certificates, securities or other valuable documents
• Cameras
• Personal electronic equipment
• Commercial goods or business documents, or passports and other travel documents
• Essential medicines
• Items we determine are unsuitable for carriage by reason of their weight, shape or size, fragility, contents or character, or for safety or operational reasons, or the comfort and convenience of other Passengers
• E-cigarettes

If you carry items in contravention of these Conditions, we will have no liability, and use all available defences against any claim, in respect of any damage, loss or destruction of those items.

Checked Baggage can also be delayed or lost, therefore items with a special value or which you may urgently need should be kept close to you in Cabin Baggage.

Excess Baggage

Baggage in excess of our stated free Baggage allowance may be accepted for carriage at a fixed rate per piece as appropriate to the Baggage allowance applicable for your Ticket.  We may at our discretion refuse to carry your excess Baggage.  We bear no responsibility or liability if for operational, weather or reasons beyond our control we carry your Baggage on alternative flights other than the flight you are booked on.   “Operational reasons” may include for example weight limitations for the flight.  If we decide to carry the Excess Baggage but decide not to charge you for some or all of your Excess Baggage, this does not mean that you will not be charged when you check in for any further flights on your itinerary. Other airlines may also charge different rates for Excess Baggage.
