- Notice of Baggage Liability Limitations
Liability for loss, delay or damage to baggage is limited unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles.
For many international journeys (including domestic portions of international journeys), the Warsaw Convention may apply with liability limits of approximately US$9.07 per pound (US$20.00 per kilo) for checked baggage and US$400.00 per passenger for unchecked baggage. In some cases, where the Montreal Convention applies to your journey, the applicable liability limit is 1,000 special drawing rights (approximately US$1,375) per passenger for checked and unchecked baggage.
We are not liable for loss of, damage to or delay in the delivery of fragile or perishable items, keys, artwork, cameras, money, jewellery, precious metals, silverware, medicines, drug, dangerous goods, commercial goods, odd-sized articles, negotiable papers, securities, or other valuables, business documents, passports and other identification documents, or samples, which are included in your Checked Baggage.
