All Hold Luggage must comply with the requirements of the specific Airline concerned in view of airline safety and security.

The following categories of items are considered “Excluded Items” and shall not be included in your Hold Luggage: electronic devices, precious stones, precious metals, watches, jewellery, glass, furs, china, art, antiques, prescription drugs, fragile and perishable goods, money, vouchers, travellers cheques, bearer bonds, bills of exchange, promissory notes, documents of title to property, bank, credit, pre-pay or other store cards with a cash equivalent value, spirits, tobacco and cigarettes and any other goods which the Airline may at its sole discretion deem to be valuable.

Subject to events outside our control, if we fail to deliver your Hold Luggage to the ground handler of your airline at the airport in time for your flight due to circumstances within our control and your Hold Luggage as a result misses your flight, we will arrange for your Hold Luggage to be forwarded to your final destination.
We will only accept and deliver the Hold Luggage for the person we reasonably believe to be the Customer.

Security

Your Hold Luggage will not be opened and/or searched by our staff or on our behalf without your consent, except when we are required to do so by customs, aviation or police, or another regulatory or governmental agency or the airport operator.
