I am travelling with special baggage, what should I do?

When travelling with sports equipment, musical instruments, animals, or any other type of special or oversized baggage, you should contact your airline before travelling. So, you will know what are the costs, limits, procedures and documents necessary for a boarding process without delays.

My baggage did not arrive or is damaged.

If your baggage was lost or damaged as a result of problems not caused by defects inherent to the baggage itself, you should file a complaint with your airline as soon as possible. The most advisable is that you do it even when you are still at the airport.

Are any items prohibited in hold baggage?
