AirLink Express will make sure all of your baggage arrives at your destination in as good a condition as it has been received. Although, we can’t guarantee it will not have had as much fun as you!

What are your baggage allowances?

AirLink Express will try to accommodate your baggage. Our aircraft do not have any overhead baggage compartments.

Any baggage that cannot be carried on our aircraft will be accommodated on the next available flight or sent by road if prior arrangements are made (for charter flights only).

If you have a reason that requires the need to carry syringes during a flight this may be permitted if medical evidence is produced. For example, a doctor’s letter when you check in or at security screening. This document should be kept with you at all times.

Where are your delayed bags?

• Sometimes, we are simply unable to deliver all bags to our passengers on the same flight. If your bags are delayed it’s important you speak to our airport staff before you leave the airport.
• In the case that bags have been delayed we will schedule that bag for delivery on the next available flight.
• In some cases passengers may choose bags or sporting equipment moved by ground, we can arrange for these transfers at the airport.

Making a baggage claim?

• Once your baggage has been determined to be missing you must fill out a Baggage Claim Form which can be requested at any of our airport offices
• If your bag hasn’t been found after 21 days, we consider the bag to be ‘irretrievably lost’ and our Baggage Claims/Customer Service Department will process your claim.
• If your bag or its contents have been significantly damaged while in our care and the damage has been reported to our customer service agents at the airport, they will assess the damage and assist you our valued customer by processing the claim as soon as possible.
• In the event settlement cannot be reached a claim must be made directly to our Head Office in Montego Bay.
• Baggage claims can only be accepted in writing. A baggage claim form is available from any of our offices. This form must be filled out, completed in full and returned to our Customer Service Department at the addresses listed.

Due to the limits of liability, we strongly recommend that Passengers take out their own insurance, or declare the value of their property as ‘excess value’. We will not accept liability for a declaration above US $1,000.

All baggage claims must be substantiated by documented proof of purchase, including the date and purchase price. Depreciation will be deducted at our discretion.
