Take care with your baggage
When you check your baggage, a baggage claim ticket is issued that allows the owner of the bag to be identified. For security reasons, luggage is always checked on the same plane the passenger travels on.
- Make sure your baggage is properly sealed and identified with your name and address;
- Do not overpack the bag to prevent it from being damaged;
- Always check the identification information before checking the bag and when you reclaim it;
- Immediately inform us if your bag is lost or damaged;
- Do not carry other people's bags with unidentified contents.
