Luggage carrying regulations for international flights

The checked baggage should be well packed, locked and fastened, able to withstand certain pressure and be safely loaded, unloaded and transported under normal operating conditions. We can refuse to accept or transport luggage with substandard packaging, otherwise we will not be responsible for the damage or breakage.

Provisions on checked baggage on international flights:

1, the number of luggage should be as small as possible; Generally, 2 pieces are better, no more than 3 pieces at most, and try not to be overweight or a little overweight;

2. The package should be firm and must be locked;

Don't check valuables and cash in your luggage.

Stick your own special labels on the top and bottom of the luggage, and write down your name, address and destination (preferably in Chinese and English).

5. No matter how many times you transfer, you should try to check your luggage to your destination at one time, not to the airport where you transfer, and avoid going through the baggage transfer procedures along the way, so as to achieve the goal of arriving by passenger train;

6. When handing over the luggage, you should fill in the name tag carefully, and fill in the name, address, starting point and ending point, and then stick it on the luggage;

7. After handling the consignment formalities, carefully check the luggage tag and keep it properly (one luggage tag for each piece);

8. If you pay the overweight fee, you should keep the receipt properly;

9. After arriving at the destination, when you pick up your luggage at the baggage claim area, you should carefully check whether the luggage belongs to you and take the luggage and luggage tag out of the airport.

Mode of transport

Many people who go abroad for the first time always want to bring as many daily necessities as possible, but there is a weight limit for random consignment. Different airlines have different weight limits, which are roughly within the range of 16-32kg. Usually, they are overweight without enough, and the fine for overweight is amazing.

If the luggage is large (such as furniture, bicycles, etc.). ), some airlines don't even allow you to check in. You need to pick up your luggage at the airport like this. For overweight luggage, how to choose the right way to check it, so as to achieve the simplest way to check it with the least money.

The following is an analysis and comparison of several consignment modes, focusing on a new international overweight baggage consignment mode:

Traditional way 1: express delivery

The advantage is that it is simple and convenient, and you can enjoy on-site service, but it is the most expensive of all ways. If your luggage weighs less than 20kg, it is more economical to choose this method. If there is too much luggage, the cost of express delivery will be astronomical.

Traditional Mode 2: Transportation

Its advantage is low cost and no need to worry about weight and volume. The disadvantage is that the procedures are complicated. Imagine going to the port for customs declaration, delivery and other procedures in a foreign country that you are not familiar with.

Due to the long shipping time, it is best to check the luggage (such as out-of-season clothes, kitchen supplies, daily necessities, bicycles and other large items) in advance, so that there is no problem of speed.

Traditional Mode 3: Air Transport

The advantage is faster, but the price is higher, and just like shipping, it is only responsible for airport-to-airport transportation. You also need to go through complicated procedures such as customs declaration and delivery at the destination port.

Emerging mode: one-stop service for overweight baggage consignment

Combining the advantages and disadvantages of the first three services, there is an overweight baggage consignment service on the market at present, which has high cost performance, cheap shipping and convenient express delivery.

As long as you sit at home, you can enjoy the convenience of domestic door-to-door collection and destination door-to-door delivery, especially the consignment of 1-8 suitcase (roughly equivalent to the volume of 1 cubic meter and the weight of 200kg), which is the first choice for overseas students and immigrants. This method is mature abroad, but it is still a relatively new service in China.

Legal basis: China Civil Aviation Passenger and Luggage Domestic Transportation Rules.
