Baggage Policy And Conditions

Index

1. GENERAL

The Passenger must attach an identification label to their baggage containing truthful and up-to-date information before checking it in. Thereafter, Costa Rica Green Airways shall be liable for the Passenger’s baggage. Costa Rica Green Airways shall provide the Passenger with a baggage registration voucher, certifying that it has been checked in, which must be kept by the Passenger until they have collected the baggage.

2. DANGEROUS GOODS

Objects that endanger the aircraft or the people or equipment on board, such as those specified in the Dangerous Goods Regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which include but are not limited to gas cylinders, inflammable liquids and solids, poisons, radioactive material, corrosives, firearms, and explosives will not be accepted for carriage in the cargo hold or overhead lockers on board. Except with prior express consent of Costa Rica Green Airways. For further information about dangerous goods, please consult our regulations.

3. CARRIER’S ENTITLEMENT TO INSPECT LUGGAGE

For reasons of security, we may require you to allow us to search, X-ray or scan your luggage—and your luggage may be searched or may have been searched in your absence if you are not available (even if it means forcing the locks on your luggage)—with assistance from the competent authorities, in order to determine whether you are in possession of any item described in our policy.

If you are not willing to fulfil the requirement, we may refuse to carry you or your luggage without refund or any other liability. If you are injured when being searched or scanned, or if the X-ray or scanner damages your luggage, we will not be liable unless the injury or damage was caused through our fault or negligence.

If required to do so, you must be present during the inspection of your hand luggage or checked luggage by customs agents or other government officials. We will not be liable for any loss or damages resulting from the non-fulfilment of this requirement unless they were caused by our negligence.

4. ALLOWED LUGGAGE PER PASSENGER

All available fares allow for one piece of checked baggage. The weight allowance of this baggage varies according to the fare purchased.

All fares allow Passengers to check in more than one baggage item, paying a surcharge per item. The surcharge rate can be consulted through any of our customer service channels. Each pound over the weight limit will have an additional cost which can be consulted through any of our customer service channels.

The allowable number of items and pounds over the limit will be subject to the overall weight and space availability of the flight.

If the Passenger wishes to check in more than one item of luggage, the maximum allowance is 60 pounds per Passenger and is subject to the corresponding supplement. Costa Rica Green Airways is entitled to deny carriage of all or part of any baggage exceeding this allowance or for which an excess baggage charge has not been paid.

6. BAGGAGE RECLAIM

Passengers may collect their luggage as soon as Costa Rica Green Airways makes it available to them at the points designated for this purpose at the destination airport. The unprotected collection of luggage on the part of the holder of the luggage registration voucher or Ticket within the legally stipulated periods implies they waive the right to make subsequent claims.

The Passenger authorizes Costa Rica Green Airways to the effect that, if the Passenger’s luggage is lost, they may conduct, either themselves or through a third party, the necessary investigations to locate the owner, by means of existing objects or elements on the inside or outside of the luggage and duly respecting the confidential nature of the personal data obtained.

If the Passenger fails to collect their luggage within 7 days of its being made available to them, Costa Rica Green Airways may demand the sum of $10 per day of storage. If the Passenger fails to collect their luggage within six (6) months of the date it was made available to them, Costa Rica Green Airways may dispose of the luggage without liability.

If a Passenger claims an item of luggage but fails to provide the corresponding luggage registration voucher, the item in question shall only be handed over to the Passenger if they can provide proof satisfying Costa Rica Green Airways that the item belongs to them. If Costa Rica Green Airways so requests, in justified cases and before they can collect their luggage, the Passenger must provide the economic means to cover any loss, damage or expense incurred by Costa Rica Green Airways as a result of the baggage delivery.

Costa Rica Green Airways is entitled to impede or deny baggage delivery to any Passenger carrying a suspicious item of luggage, or upon a request in this regard from another passenger or from Costa Rica’s Police. In such cases, the Passenger must complete all procedures laid down by law before collecting the luggage and Costa Rica Green Airways shall not be held liable for the delayed or denied baggage delivery.

If the Passenger purchases one or more Point-to-Point flights, it is the Passenger’s responsibility to allow sufficient time to collect his/her baggage from the first flight (if applicable), re-check it, pass through security and arrive at the boarding gate of the second and/or subsequent flights.

Costa Rica Green Airways shall be liable in cases of destruction, loss, or damage to luggage, up to a sum of $400 per passenger.

As regards unchecked luggage, Costa Rica Green Airways shall only be liable for damages caused by its fault.

If checked luggage has been damaged, lost, destroyed, or delayed, the Passenger must inform immediately to a Costa Rica Green Airways representative.
