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.
