Each item in excess of the allowance, or the linear dimensions, will be deemed excess baggage and will be subject to payment of the prevailing excess baggage rates published by the Company from time to time. Such excess baggage is further subject to the restriction below and to space availability and hence may not be carried on the same service as the Passenger. All baggage, including excess baggage, is only carried to the airport specified on the Company's baggage tag.

The Company will not be liable for any loss if the Passenger fails to collect any checked or cabin baggage. If such baggage is not claimed after 90 days after the flight, it will be deemed to be abandoned and the Company may dispose of it as the Company sees fit without notifying the Passenger and without any liability on the Company's part and the Passenger will indemnify the Company for any cost and/or expense incurred in respect of such disposal.
