BAGGAGE

                                                HOW MUCH CAN I TAKE?

• The weight and size of baggage which is taken on international flights varies between carriers. The links below will provide you with specific information about most of the airlines used by Rotary District 9630:-

• As a rule, YEP students should only take:-

  • Checked-in baggage: one piece weighing not more than 20kg and having total dimensions not exceeding 140cm (Total dimensions are measured by adding together the width, height and depth of the bag.)

  • Carry-on baggage: Either 1 x 115cm bag or 1 x 185cm non rigid garment bag

    N.B. New security guidelines are now in place for taking Liquids, Aerosols and Gels (LAGs) on board the aircraft as hand luggage. Please refer to the following link for detailed information:

• N.B. Some international carriers will permit passengers to take more than 20kg, HOWEVER if you have connecting domestic flights, the domestic carrier will usually only allow the amounts specified above.
   

• If you do not follow these guidelines, you may very well have to reduce weight by unpacking items at the check-in counter - very embarrassing!!!

                                                    DANGEROUS GOODS

(Don't take these with you in person, in your carry-on luggage nor in your checked-in luggage.)

Dangerous Goods are items that may endanger the safety of an aircraft or persons on board the aircraft.  Dangerous Goods are also known as restricted articles, hazardous materials and dangerous cargo. Dangerous Goods must not be carried in (or as) passenger or crew-checked baggage or carry-on baggage, except as indicated in the table at the following link:-
