| Checked
In Baggage Baggage can be classified in two ways: checked in baggage, which is stowed in the aircraft's hold and cabin baggage, which you may carry with you onto the aircraft. For obvious reasons, there are limits on the amount and weight of luggage each passenger can bring on a flight. These limits vary depending on which country you are travelling to. International checked baggage allowances If you are travelling to or from the USA, your baggage allowance will be based on the number of pieces of baggage. You are allowed two pieces of baggage per person, neither of which may exceed a total dimension (length + width + height) of 158cm (62in). Within this size allowance, neither piece may exceed 32kg in weight. On all other international journeys your baggage allowance is based on weight. Each piece should not exceed a total dimension of 158cm/62ins nor exceed the weight. Economy Class - 20 kilos; Business Class - 30 kilos; Infants - 1 piece, maximum weight 10kgs, maximum dimensions 115cms. On all domestic flights your baggage allowance is again based on weight. Each piece should not exceed a total dimension of 158cm/62ins nor exceed the weight. The total allowed limit is 20 Kilos. Cabin Baggage Along with checked-in baggage you may also take the following hand luggage on the plane with you. One piece of hand luggage with a maximum combined dimension of 115cm on jet services or 105cm on Link services, both with a maximum weight of 7kg for all customers. A garment bag may be substituted for the one piece. For the safety and comfort of all passengers, all carry-on items must be capable of being stowed in the overhead lockers or under the seat in front of you. Business class customers may take 2 pieces of baggage with a maximum combined dimension (length + width + height) of 115cm each. Maximum weight of 7kgs per piece. Exception: Due to the current security processing required by the USA Federal Aviation Administration, for flights to/from/through the USA, passengers travelling in all classes are allowed to bring one carry-on, not to exceed 115 cms or weigh in excess of 7 kgs, plus one personal item such as a purse, laptop or briefcase. Overweight Or Unaccompanied Baggage When you check in for your flight, your baggage is weighed. If it is overweight it will normally still be allowed on the plane, but you will be charged at a set rate for the amount by which it exceeds your free allowance. One way to carry more baggage than your free allowance, while avoiding excess baggage charges, is to send any clothes and personal items as cargo before you depart yourself, for which you'll pay a lower rate. However, items sent this way won't necessarily travel on the same aircraft as you. What Goods Can Be Carried On Board? Modern aircraft are fitted with sensitive electronic equipment which can be affected by some types of electronic equipment carried by passengers. For this reason, restrictions on the type of equipment you may bring on board apply. The following portable electronic devices may be used on the aircraft at any time: portable voice recorders (hand held units powered by dry cell batteries), hearing aids, heart pacemakers, electric shavers, watches, hand held calculators. The following may be used after take-off and before landing, when the seatbelt sign is off: portable notebook computers, portable video recorders and cameras, portable radios and televisions with headphones, walkman disc players, hand-held electronic games. Mobile cellular phone usage is permitted on all Biman aircraft when the aircraft is stationary on the ground, with the entry door(s) open and engines are not running. Please ensure mobile cellular phones are switched off when the entry door is closed (i.e. before departure, during flight and prior to the doors opening on arrival). Please check with your travel agent or Biman Office when you book your flight if you are unsure whether the equipment you intend taking is permitted on the aircraft. Dangerous Goods For your own safety, international regulatory authorities have placed certain restrictions or prohibitions on the carriage of dangerous goods, whether these be stowed in checked baggage or cabin baggage. These include briefcases with alarm devices; gases (including Camping Gas); corrosives such as mercury wet cell batteries; explosives such as fireworks and flares; flammable liquids such as lighter fuel; flammable solids such as fire lighters and matches; oxidising substances such as bleaching powder; poisonous and infectious substances; radioactive materials and magnetised materials. If you are unsure whether you can take something on the aircraft, ask your travel agent or nearest Biman Office. We look forward to extending to you the warmest welcome when you next fly with us. We wish you a pleasant flight! |
