Take care packing your bags
- Identification: Put your name and address on your bag. Always check the identification when you check it in and collect it.
- Lock: Always lock your bag. Do not overfill the bag so it can be properly locked and not tear.
- Protection: Do not carry any items for other people without knowing what they are. You are liable for everything you carry.
Know what to do if your baggage gets lost or damaged.

Equipment that should not be transported in the hold
If you are traveling with fragile items or electronic equipment, you should not carry them in the hold, as they are fragile and are easily damaged. Alternatively, you can transport them in the cabin — respecting the limits and not exceeding the baggage capacity — or using TAP Air Cargo to transport more delicate equipments. To transport baggage items such as special equipment, musical instruments and more, visit the Special Baggage page and learn how to transport your items.
