Home Check-In

Personalised check-in with baggage collection in the comfort of your home, office or hotel

  Check in from home with Skybags!   
 

SKYBAGS is a useful check-in service for passengers travelling with baggage from Lisbon Airport.

For only €35 per passenger, we offer you personalised check-in and pick up your baggage. This charge includes the transport of the number of bags of the size and weight permitted by the airline.

How it works

The day before your flight, a uniformed, properly identified SKYBAGS employee will come to your home, office or hotel and perform a personalised check-in. Your travel documents will be checked. Your baggage will be sealed with SKYBAGS security material in your presence to protect it and weighed to check that it is within the airline's limits. Any excess weight or size will be charged at current rates plus the SKYBAGS surcharge. You will be given a SKYBAGS receipt.

On the day of your flight

All you have to do is go to the TAP Tele Check-In desk up to one hour before the flight to collect your boarding pass. You will be told which boarding gate to go to. Your bags will travel on your flight with you.

Terms of use

  • We charge special prices for children.
  • Extra bags and excess weight and size will be charged for on collection at the airline's rates plus a surcharge of €1 per kg excess weight.
  • We offer special rates for groups, provided that the group is at the same address.

FAQ

Do all the passengers at the same address have to be present when SKYBAGS comes to do the check-in?

Yes, everyone who will be travelling must be there and must show the identification documents they need to enter the country at their destination (ID card, passport and visa) during the check-in.

How can I be sure that my bags won't be opened between my home and the airport?

SKYBAGS does everything necessary to ensure that your baggage arrives safe and sound. During the home check-in, SKYBAGS will seal each bag in your presence with security seals on all openings. Only airport security will be able to remove the seals if they decide it is necessary to conduct a security inspection. All the seals are numbered and the passenger is given a list of these numbers.

Can I change my seat, upgrade or change my booking with SKYBAGS?

No. Upgrades and changes of seats or bookings must be dealt with your airline before we arrive.

How does SKYBAGS secure the baggage and guarantee that it will arrive at the airport safely?

With a combination of safety measures: we guarantee the inviolability, safe transport and storage in a dedicated location and provide your bags with a higher level of safety and security than they would normally have.

The safest available method is used to seal your bags in your presence at your home and you are given a receipt indicating the unique seal numbers. Your bags are then taken to the airport in a secure, locked vehicle. At the airport, the sealed bags are handed over directly into the custody of the airline that you will be using.

SKYBAGS complies strictly with the airlines' rules and INAC (civil aviation authority) regulations on the handling of hold baggage.

Are there any restrictions on what I can take in my bags?

SKYBAGS can only accept items that comply with the airlines' general baggage policy. Please click here for information on the different airlines' baggage policies.

Will I be compensated for any loss or damage or misplaced baggage?

SKYBAGS will pay compensation in accordance with your airline's baggage policy if your baggage is delayed, lost, damaged or stolen when in our care.

Can I leave my baggage at the SKYBAGS office instead of waiting for the company to pick it up?

No. However, this type of service may be considered in the future, depending on demand.
