The choice of this type of transport is very logical, therefore, one must familiarize oneself with the rules of transporting luggage on airplanes so as not to find ourselves in unpleasant situations at the airport.

It is important to bear in mind that if you have purchased a ticket with transfer, in this case stricter baggage and hand baggage rules will apply among all those established by the airlines operating the flight.

Few people will dispute the fact that it is extremely unpleasant to find yourself without your luggage on arrival at your destination. This significantly spoils the mood, but also forces you to urgently look for a way out of the current situation under stressful conditions. You have to unexpectedly spend money on new things, search for missing suitcases, constantly distracted from the immediate purpose of your trip. In order to avoid such unpleasant misunderstandings and in order to maximally protect your luggage during the flight, it is worth remembering and putting into practice a small set of rules:

– Remove old stickers and labels from previous trips from your luggage. Get rid of even the smallest barcode stickers, these are often applied separately directly to the suitcase. These tags can subsequently disrupt the system that automatically scans and sorts baggage.

– For anything you intend to check in as luggage, whether it’s a suitcase, duffel bag, box or package, hang a name tag. Such an accessory, designed for reusable use, you can purchase in advance at a specialized store. Or use a paper label. As a rule, all more or less respectable air carriers provide them free of charge and without restrictions. You can get this tag from reception.

– Those who are particularly concerned about the safety of their belongings are advised to attach several tags to their suitcase at a time. That we are reusable. On it , leave information about the address of permanent residence, telephone number and e-mail address. On an additional paper label, indicate the duration of your stay in a new place, as well as all possible contacts. This is your hotel address and name, local phone number, if available. Duplicate your first and last name.

– At the check-in counter, be careful and make sure that the correct baggage tag that will be printed by the check-in agent is stuck on your suitcase. It shows the code of the city you are going to and your flight number.

– Make your luggage visible and recognizable. It is not always possible to blame the movers or the technical failures of the sorting system for the delay of the suitcases. Sometimes the misunderstanding is caused by another passenger who, out of distraction and fatigue after a long flight, took the exact same black case or ordinary sports bag from the baggage carousel that you had. To avoid this, mark your luggage. Add a bunch of colorful ribbons or a not too big plush to the handle, give the body a bright, broad self-adhesive sheen. And you can even at the stage of choosing in the store give preference to the extraordinary colors of the suitcase.

Add additional or excess baggage

For those who wish to travel with one or more pieces of baggage whose weight or dimensions do not comply with the allowance applied by Hahn Air, the German airline invites them to use its online baggage supplement purchase service.
