2.4 Excess Baggage Charges apply for any weight in excess of the AirTAC free baggage allowance; rates may vary between different sectors. Further details can be obtained from any AirTAC office.

2.5 Excess Baggage Carriage Restrictions Excess baggage is carried subject to space availability and hence may not be carried on the same service as the passenger.

The passenger is responsible for collection of excess baggage and/or any other related delivery expenses.

2.6 Excess Baggage Limit Total baggage exceeding 220 pounds will not be accepted as excess baggage. Such consignments must be processed at a Cargo outlet at the applicable cargo rate.

2.7 Free Baggage Entitlements When Connecting to Another Carrier When connecting with an International carrier's service, and holding an International ticket, passengers are entitled to the IATA standard checked baggage allowance (weight system), in respect to the AirTAC component of the itinerary. Baggage in excess of the AirTAC weight allowance is carried free of charge subject to space availability and hence may not be carried on the same service as the passenger.
