At Classic Fares, we want travelers to understand the baggage conditions that may apply to their flight before they travel.
Baggage allowances, restrictions, charges and handling procedures vary considerably depending upon the airline, operating carrier, itinerary, route, fare type, cabin, passenger status and other conditions.
Classic Fares, operated by Flight Fare Booking Inc., is an independent travel services platform. Classic Fares does not operate aircraft or physically accept, transport, transfer, store, deliver or handle passenger baggage.
The applicable airline determines and administers its baggage rules.
This Baggage Policy explains how baggage information applies to flight reservations searched, quoted, booked or serviced through Classic Fares.
Every airline establishes baggage rules applicable to its flights and fare products.
Depending upon the airline and reservation, those rules may determine:
Unless baggage is expressly shown as included with the selected fare, customers should not assume that free checked baggage or any particular baggage allowance is included with the ticket.
Travelers should review the baggage conditions applicable to their specific reservation.
Classic Fares may receive baggage information through:
Where baggage information is available to Classic Fares, we may display or communicate applicable information during the search, quotation or booking process.
Such information is based upon the information made available through the applicable travel source.
Because baggage rules are established by airlines and may change, customers should verify their current baggage allowance before departure.
Where baggage inclusion is a material characteristic of the selected fare and the information is available to us, the applicable information should be presented or made available during the booking process.
Purchasing an airline ticket does not necessarily mean that checked baggage is included.
Depending upon the airline and fare, a ticket may include:
Customers should therefore review the specific fare conditions rather than assuming baggage is included because of the airline, cabin description or ticket price.
Carry-on baggage policies vary by airline and fare type.
Airlines may impose restrictions concerning:
Some restricted or lower-priced fares may permit only a personal item.
If baggage exceeds the applicable cabin allowance, the airline may require it to be checked and may impose an additional charge.
Classic Fares does not determine whether a particular item will ultimately be accepted into the aircraft cabin.
Checked baggage is not automatically included with every ticket.
Depending upon the selected fare, checked baggage may:
Where checked baggage is not included, customers may be able to purchase baggage directly from the airline or through another available channel.
The applicable airline determines baggage acceptance, availability and airline-imposed charges.
Certain lower-priced, restricted, bulk, negotiated, promotional, basic, light or specially sourced fares may provide fewer baggage benefits than other fares.
For example, depending upon the airline and fare rules, a restricted fare may:
This can apply even when another fare on the same flight and in the same general cabin category provides different baggage benefits.
Customers should therefore review the baggage conditions associated with the specific fare selected before completing a reservation.
Classic Fares may obtain certain airfare inventory through contracted suppliers, consolidators, bulk-fare dealers, GDS systems, travel APIs or other travel-industry inventory sources.
The baggage conditions associated with these fares may differ from another publicly available fare for the same flight.
Where applicable baggage information is available through the source providing the fare, Classic Fares may present or communicate that information during the booking process.
Customers should not assume that a bulk, negotiated or specially sourced fare includes baggage unless baggage is expressly identified as included.
Airline-imposed baggage charges are generally determined by the applicable airline.
Charges may vary based upon factors such as:
Where an airline baggage charge is not included in the amount paid to Classic Fares, it may be payable separately to the applicable airline.
An airline-imposed baggage charge does not become a Classic Fares service fee merely because the underlying flight reservation was made through Classic Fares.
Unless baggage is expressly represented as included with a fare, an advertised or displayed airfare should not be interpreted as automatically including optional checked-baggage services.
Additional airline baggage charges may apply.
Where applicable, Classic Fares may display baggage information available to us or direct customers to the applicable airline's baggage information.
Mandatory amounts that are required by law to form part of an advertised airfare are treated separately from optional baggage services.
A single itinerary may involve more than one airline.
This may occur through:
As a result, baggage allowances and procedures may differ between segments.
The airline whose name is displayed as the marketing carrier may also differ from the airline actually operating the aircraft.
Customers should pay particular attention to the operating carrier and the baggage conditions applicable to their specific itinerary.
A flight may be marketed by one airline but operated by another.
Baggage rules applicable to a codeshare itinerary can depend upon the carriers involved, ticket, itinerary and applicable legal requirements.
Customers should review the baggage information applicable to the actual itinerary rather than assuming that every baggage rule of the marketing airline automatically applies.
Baggage rules can become more complex for international and connecting journeys.
Customers should verify:
Customers should not assume baggage will automatically be transferred between every connecting flight.
Where a journey consists of separate tickets or unrelated reservations, baggage may not automatically be transferred between flights.
The traveler may be required to:
Customers should allow sufficient connection time when traveling on separate tickets.
Classic Fares does not guarantee through-checking or automatic transfer of baggage between separate reservations.
Airlines establish their own baggage weight and dimension limits.
Baggage exceeding the standard allowance may be treated as:
Additional charges may apply.
An airline may also refuse baggage that exceeds its operational, equipment, safety or regulatory limitations.
Travelers carrying unusually heavy or large items should verify the applicable airline's requirements before arriving at the airport.
Sports equipment may be subject to separate baggage conditions.
Examples may include:
Depending upon the airline, sports equipment may:
The applicable airline determines acceptance and charges.
Musical instruments may be subject to special airline rules.
Depending upon their size and the airline's policy, an instrument may need to:
Customers traveling with valuable or unusually large musical instruments should contact the applicable airline before departure.
Wheelchairs, mobility aids, assistive devices and certain medical equipment may be subject to specialized airline procedures and applicable accessibility protections.
Travelers requiring assistance should provide appropriate information to the airline where necessary.
Nothing in this Baggage Policy is intended to restrict or waive any accessibility right or protection provided by applicable law.
Baggage allowances for infants and children vary between airlines and fare products.
Different rules may apply to:
Travelers should verify the applicable operating airline's rules before departure.
Travelers carrying medication, medical devices or medically necessary equipment should review applicable airline, airport, security and government requirements before travel.
Certain equipment may require:
Essential medication should be packed and transported in accordance with applicable security and airline requirements.
Airlines, airports and government authorities regulate what passengers may carry in checked and cabin baggage.
Restrictions may apply to certain:
Requirements may vary according to jurisdiction, airport and itinerary.
Travelers are responsible for ensuring their baggage complies with applicable airline, airport and government requirements.
Classic Fares does not determine whether a particular item will pass airport security or be accepted for transportation.
Lithium batteries, spare batteries and power banks can be subject to specific aviation-safety restrictions.
Rules may vary depending upon:
Travelers should verify current airline and aviation-security requirements before packing such items.
Travelers should exercise particular care when packing valuable, fragile or essential property.
Examples include:
Airlines may limit liability for certain articles placed in checked baggage.
Travelers should review the applicable airline's conditions of carriage before checking valuable or fragile items.
Classic Fares does not physically transport or deliver baggage.
If baggage does not arrive with the passenger, the traveler should report the issue to the operating airline or its airport baggage-service representative as soon as possible.
The airline may require information such as:
Customers should retain copies of relevant records.
For flights subject to applicable U.S. Department of Transportation requirements, customers may have a right to a refund of a checked-baggage fee when baggage is significantly delayed and applicable requirements are satisfied.
Applicable rules may require the passenger to file a mishandled baggage report with the airline.
Because these rights are governed by applicable law and the circumstances of the journey, travelers should submit the baggage report promptly and communicate directly with the operating airline regarding baggage delivery and any applicable baggage-fee refund.
Nothing in this Policy is intended to limit a baggage-fee refund right provided by applicable law.
Airlines may have procedures for determining when delayed baggage is considered officially lost.
If an airline declares baggage lost, applicable rights may arise under:
Customers should submit claims directly to the applicable airline within any required deadline.
Classic Fares cannot determine whether an airline will classify baggage as lost or determine the amount of compensation payable.
If baggage arrives damaged, the traveler should report the damage to the airline as soon as possible.
The airline may request:
Applicable claim deadlines can be important.
Classic Fares does not inspect, transport or physically handle baggage and therefore does not determine whether baggage damage occurred during airline handling.
If property is missing from checked baggage, customers should report the matter promptly to the airline and, where appropriate, airport or law-enforcement authorities.
The airline may impose specific reporting requirements and claim deadlines.
Airline liability for particular items may be restricted by its conditions of carriage or applicable law.
The operating airline controls:
Classic Fares does not perform these physical airline functions.
Accordingly, baggage claims generally need to be filed directly with the applicable airline.
Although the applicable airline controls baggage handling, Classic Fares may provide reasonable assistance concerning baggage information available to us.
Depending upon the circumstances, our representatives may help customers identify:
Providing assistance does not transfer responsibility for baggage transportation or claims from the airline to Classic Fares.
Classic Fares may provide eligible travel consultation concerning baggage matters even when the original reservation was not booked through Classic Fares.
This is an independent professional travel-assistance service.
Where a consultation or service fee applies, the applicable scope and fee will be disclosed before the customer authorizes the service.
Payment for consultation does not guarantee that an airline will:
Customers may always contact the applicable airline directly regarding airline baggage services without purchasing independent consultation from Classic Fares.
Where a customer seeks a refund of an airline-imposed baggage fee because baggage was delayed, lost or the baggage service was otherwise not provided, the request may need to be made directly to the applicable airline.
Classic Fares may assist with available reservation information but does not represent that it is responsible for issuing every airline baggage-fee refund.
Nothing in this provision limits any obligation that applicable law specifically places upon Classic Fares for a particular transaction.
Airlines may change baggage:
Information obtained through supplier or distribution systems may therefore change after a reservation is completed.
Travelers should verify the airline's current baggage policy before departure, particularly when:
Before traveling, customers should review:
Customers should not rely solely upon a general baggage allowance associated with an airline because different fares on the same airline may provide different baggage benefits.
Classic Fares does not establish airline baggage charges.
Where a baggage charge is imposed directly by an airline, that amount is determined according to the airline's applicable policies.
Such charges may change and may differ according to fare, route, passenger, payment timing or other airline-defined conditions.
Payment for an airline ticket does not guarantee that every item a passenger wishes to carry will be accepted by the airline.
Acceptance may depend upon:
The operating airline has authority over the physical acceptance of baggage for transportation, subject to applicable law.
Nothing in this Baggage Policy is intended to eliminate, reduce or waive a passenger right that cannot legally be waived.
Passengers may have baggage-related rights under:
Where this Policy conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, the applicable mandatory requirement will control.
BAGGAGE IS NOT NECESSARILY INCLUDED WITH EVERY AIRFARE.
BAGGAGE ALLOWANCES AND CHARGES MAY VARY BY AIRLINE, OPERATING CARRIER, ROUTE, FARE TYPE, CABIN, PASSENGER, ITINERARY AND OTHER APPLICABLE CONDITIONS.
CLASSIC FARES DOES NOT SET OR CONTROL AIRLINE BAGGAGE RULES OR AIRLINE-IMPOSED BAGGAGE FEES.
WHERE BAGGAGE IS EXPRESSLY INCLUDED WITH A FARE, THE APPLICABLE ALLOWANCE REMAINS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THAT FARE AND THE APPLICABLE AIRLINE.
OPTIONAL BAGGAGE CHARGES MAY BE PAYABLE SEPARATELY TO THE AIRLINE AND MAY NOT FORM PART OF THE AIRFARE PAID TO CLASSIC FARES.
Customers should review the baggage conditions associated with their selected fare before purchase and verify the current baggage policy of the applicable operating airline before departure.
