Take care with your baggage

When you check in your hold baggage a ticket is issued that allows the owner 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 exceed the capacity of the bag, so that it is not damaged;
  • Always check the identification information before checking in the bag and when reclaiming it;
  • Immediately inform us in the event of loss or damage;
  • Do not carry other people's bags if you do not know the contents;
  • If you are transporting bottles of wine and/or olive oil, then please make sure they are registered as cargo. Find out all you need to know about Baggage Recommendations here.

  • Valuable and personal items;
  • Fragile or perishable items;
  • Essential medicines;
