Special Baggage

Please note that special baggage is easy to bend or break during transport because its shape and size are different from normal baggage. Therefore, you should pack your special baggage solidly in a special container or box for consignment. Especially, sports equipment that is not packed in hard case(special case) will not be compensated in case of breakage or damage. The process of consiging special baggage will take some time. Please come earlier to the airport and proceed the check-in.
