Baggage
Baggage best practice
When packing for both domestic and international flights, follow our suggestions to avoid any setbacks.
- Always pack your own baggage.
- Check weight and size restrictions for checked baggage with your airline.
- Put your name and address on all checked and carry-on luggage. Remove all old bag tags to avoid confusion.
- Avoid carrying metal items that may trigger metal detector alarms (e.g. belts, buttons, body piercings and steel toe shoes).
- Make sure your baggage does not contain any restricted items
