Baggage Policy

1. General Guidelines

• Baggage rules vary depending on the airline, route, cabin class, and fare type.
• Your baggage allowance will be clearly displayed at the time of booking and confirmed in your e-ticket.
• Airlines reserve the right to update baggage policies at any time. We recommend passengers review their airline’s website prior to departure.

2. Carry-On Baggage

Most airlines allow passengers to bring:

• One carry-on bag: must fit in the overhead bin.
• One personal item: such as a handbag, laptop bag, or small backpack that fits under the seat.

Typical Size & Weight Limits (varies by airline):

• Carry-On Bag Size: Approx. 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 36 x 23 cm).
• Weight Limit: 7–10 kg (15–22 lbs).

Important: Low-cost carriers may have stricter rules and may charge additional fees for larger carry-ons.

3. Checked Baggage

Checked baggage policies depend on the airline and fare type:

• Economy Fares: Often do not include free checked bags; fees apply per bag.
• Premium, Business, and First Class: Typically include 1–2 checked bags free of charge.
• Weight Limits: Usually 50 lbs (23 kg) per bag for economy; up to 70 lbs (32 kg) for premium cabins.
• Size Limits: Total dimensions (length + width + height) usually must not exceed 62 inches (158 cm).

Excess, overweight, or oversized bags may incur significant additional fees.

4. Special Items

Certain items require special handling or may be restricted:

• Sports equipment (golf clubs, skis, surfboards) – permitted with fees depending on airline.
• Musical instruments – may be carried on board if they fit overhead or require a seat purchase.
• Fragile or valuable items – strongly discouraged from being checked; carry them as hand luggage whenever possible.

5. Restricted & Prohibited Items

For security and safety, passengers are strictly prohibited from carrying:

• Explosives, flammable items, or hazardous materials.
• Weapons, firearms, or sharp objects (unless permitted under specific airline rules).
• Large quantities of liquids (TSA rules: max 3.4 oz/100 ml per container in carry-on).

For international flights, additional country-specific restrictions may apply.

6. Lost, Delayed, or Damaged Baggage

In case of lost, delayed, or damaged baggage, the operating airline is responsible.

• Passengers must report the issue immediately at the airport baggage service desk before leaving the arrival hall.
• Airlines may compensate according to the Montreal Convention or applicable international/domestic laws.

7. Fees & Payment

• Baggage fees are determined by the airline and will be displayed at checkout (when applicable).
• Some airlines allow prepaid baggage online at lower rates.
• Failure to prepay may result in higher charges at the airport.

8. Passenger Responsibilities

• Review baggage policies before booking and traveling.
• Arrive at the airport early if traveling with oversized or special baggage.
• Ensure all bags are properly labeled with passenger name, address, and contact details.
• Comply with security screening requirements.

9. Our Role as an OTA

• www.rightflightscanner.com does not set or control baggage allowances or fees.
• We provide baggage details as supplied by the airline and consolidators at the time of booking.
• Final baggage acceptance and charges remain at the sole discretion of the airline.

10. Important Notice

• All baggage policies are subject to change without notice by the operating airline.
• Passengers are advised to reconfirm baggage rules directly with the airline prior to travel.
• Failure to comply with baggage restrictions may result in denial of boarding, extra charges, or confiscation of items.
