Improper carriage of baggage can put one through a lot of inconvenience. Passengers are therefore advised to ensure their baggage is properly packed and tagged. The following tips will be handy.

• Make sure you know your free checked baggage allowance.
• Don’t pack any valuables in your checked baggage.
• Any items over your allowance will be charged as excess baggage.
• Label your bags correctly with your name and address and remove tags and labels left over from previous flights.
• Make sure you know your hand baggage allowance and the latest restrictions on carriage of certain items in your hand baggage.
• Make sure you take medication, important documents, valuable items and cash in your hand baggage.
• Do not carry packages with unidentified contents on behalf of other people.
• In some instances you may be required to identify or claim your baggage, for security or local customs reasons, at the connecting point.
• Do not accept any packets from unknown persons.
• Do not leave baggage unobserved at any time, especially within airport area. Unattended baggage may be removed by Airport Security Staff as an object of suspicion.
• Make sure you declare before checking-in, if carrying any arms or explosive substances. Concealment is an offence under the Aircraft Act and Rules.
• Battery cells in any electrical / electronic items are permissible now & will now not be removed at the security point. Loose battery cells / dry cells carried in the hand baggage are liable to be removed and the airline would not be in a position to hand over the same at the destination. Please carry the same in the checked baggage.
• Before approaching the check-in counters, you may be required to pass all your pieces of baggage to be checked in through the X-ray machines operated by security personnel.
