Check in
Before check in
Pack all articles, which can be classed as pointed weapons, in the baggage that is to be checked-in. This includes scissors, nail files, pocket knives and corkscrews. If any sharp instruments are found during the security controls, the traveller will be asked to go back to the checking-in counter and check-in the article or throw the article away.
Pack all items of liquids which are in containers with more than 100ml in your suitcase which should be checked in. See Security and customs for more information on rules regarding liquids.
Baggage allowances are determined by the airlines and will depend on a number of factors; for example, the fare paid, class, route, aircraft type, government regulations, and the airlines' own company commercial and health and safety policies.
In general, airlines set a 'free baggage allowance'. The allowance will be expressed by 'weight' and by 'piece'. Airlines may allow, and set charges, for baggage not meeting these criteria, i.e. 'excess baggage'. Travellers are advised to verify baggage allowances with the relevant airline when booking their ticket to avoid confusion or complications when checking in at the airport.
Please inform your airline or handling agent about any outsize or unusual items of baggage well in advance of departure.
