Cabin Baggage
Passengers are allowed one piece of cabin baggage each. Please refer to our Cabin Baggage Policy for detailed information, with specific attention to the following: Your cabin baggage must adhere to the specified allowance and maximum dimensions outlined below. Failure to comply will result in your baggage being stowed in the aircraft hold, and you will incur the airport bag fee as per our Fees and Charges policy.
The standard allowance you can bring on board is one small hand bag [A1] (max 40cm x 30cm x 15 cm) which must fit under the seat in front of you.

We accept no responsibility for any baggage you leave behind if it is refused at the gate. Please always ensure you remove any valuables, essentials such as medicine, and travel documents from any bags to be placed in the hold; an item of Cabin Baggage cannot exceed 7kg, and you must be able to lift and carry the item of Cabin Baggage safely without assistance. On occasion we may also need to impose a lower weight limit for operational reasons – in this instance your Cabin Baggage may be placed in the aircraft hold at no additional charge to you; an overcoat, shawl, umbrella or walking stick and one bag of goods purchased after you have cleared the security screening point at the departure airport may also be carried in addition to the allowance of one item of Cabin Baggage;

Business class travelers are entitled to 69 kilograms for three pieces. It is mandatory to check in your hold baggage at our designated bag check-in desk and not bring it to the gate. Your hold baggage must prominently display your name or other personal identification for proper identification.
When you submit your Hold Baggage to us and if we accept it, we will take custody of it, and issue a Baggage Receipt for each piece of Hold Baggage. You must keep each Baggage Receipt as proof of having checked it in. We will ordinarily carry your Hold Baggage on the same aircraft as you unless for safety, security or operational reasons, we need to carry it on an alternative flight. If your Hold Baggage is carried on an alternative flight, we will deliver it as soon as reasonably practicable to you, unless any Applicable Law requires you to be present for customs clearance.

Failure to comply with our Baggage Regulations
If you fail to comply with any of our baggage regulations regarding the carriage of Cabin Baggage, Hold Baggage, musical instruments, sporting equipment or bicycles, or pay the relevant fees before check-in or boarding closes, we reserve the right to refuse you travel without payment of any refund or compensation to you.
No Refunds on Baggage Fees

Dangerous Goods and Items Unacceptable as Baggage
You must not include in your Baggage the items listed below:
items which are likely to endanger the aircraft or persons or property on board the aircraft (including but not limited to gas cylinders, flammable liquids and solids, poisons, radioactive material, corrosives, firearms and explosives) without our consent. Please see our Dangerous Goods Policy for more details;
items which have not been properly packed in suitcases or other suitable containers in order to ensure safe carriage using ordinary care in handling;

We may refuse to accept Baggage containing such items, and reserve the right to search your Baggage to determine whether you are carrying such items. For that purpose, we may search your Baggage in your absence if you are not available and may break any locks attached to your Baggage.
If you are unwilling to comply with any search of your Baggage, we may refuse, without refund or other liability to you, to carry you and/or your Baggage. In the event that a search or scan causes damage to your Baggage, we shall not be liable for such damage unless due to our fault or negligence.
If required, you must attend the inspection of your Baggage by customs or other government officials. We are not liable to you for any loss or damage suffered by you through your failure to comply with this requirement unless due to our fault or negligence.
If you are in any doubt about what items you can take in the aircraft cabin or in the hold or where you should pack particular items then please call us in advance of your travel or ask at our Ground Crew at the airport.
Government and/or Airport Authorities may impose additional or more onerous requirements applicable to Baggage. These requirements may be changed at short notice, and will apply to your Baggage, even though they may differ from those set out in these Terms, our policies and/or your Booking Confirmation. We will try to let the Booker know as soon as we can, using the details we have been given in the Booking, if these requirements change between the time of your Booking and your flight. Where a government or Airport Authority allows more items to be carried than allowed by us, you remain bound by these Terms.

Liability
These Terms govern our liability to you. The liability of any third-party carrier on whose ticket or booking you are travelling will be determined by that other carrier’s own conditions of carriage.
Our liability to you governed by the Convention
Our liability in relation to your carriage by us is governed by the rules and limitations under the Convention, unless such carriage is not international carriage to which the Convention applies, in which case any other Applicable Law shall apply.
Passenger death or injury
Under the Convention, we shall be liable to you in the event of an accident resulting in your death or other bodily injury whilst on board an aircraft operated by us.
The amount of damages payable by us for death or bodily injury is not subject to any financial limit, except that where the Convention applies and if proven damages exceed 113,100 Special Drawing Rights, we can exclude liability if we prove that either such damage was not due to our negligence or other wrongful act or omission or that of our servants or agents, or that such damage was solely due to the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of a third party.
If we prove that the damage was caused, or contributed to, by the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of the deceased or injured Passenger, we may be exonerated wholly or in part from our liability in accordance with Applicable Law.
We shall without delay, and in any event no later than 15 days after the identity of the natural person(s) entitled to compensation has been established (by a court or otherwise), make such advance payments as may be required to meet the immediate economic needs of that person on a basis proportional to the hardship suffered. In the event of death, the advance payment will not be less than the equivalent of 16,000 Special Drawing Rights per Passenger.
Any advance payment paid shall not be construed as an admission of liability by us and is made without prejudice to any defence which we are entitled to assert; may be offset against any subsequent sums payable on the basis of us being held liable; is not returnable unless we subsequently prove that: (1) the damage was caused, or contributed to, by the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of the deceased or injured Passenger; or (2) the person who received the advance payment caused, or contributed to, the damage by negligence or other wrongful act or omission; or (3) the person who received the payment was not the person entitled to compensation.
Save to the extent that Applicable Law may otherwise provide, where any advance payment paid, or any part thereof, is returnable to us, the person who received the payment concerned shall make the repayment to us immediately upon the relevant proof being established (in a court or otherwise), together with interest calculated from the date of receipt of the payment by that person until the date of repayment to us, at the then current judgment rate applicable in the court having jurisdiction.
Passenger Delay
Under the Convention, our liability for damage caused to a Passenger by delay is limited to 4694 Special Drawing Rights. We shall not be liable to you if we took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures.
Damage to Baggage
We are not liable for any damage to your Cabin Baggage except to the extent the damage resulted from our fault. In respect of Hold Baggage, we shall be liable to you for its destruction, loss or damage during the time it was in our charge and to the extent that damage did not result from the inherent defect, quality or vice of the Baggage.
We shall not be liable to you for damage due to over-packing or for normal wear and tear of Baggage such as small scratches, scuffs, dents and cuts, or other damage which does not prevent you from using the Baggage.
Our liability to you for loss or damage to Baggage, including loss or damage caused by delay, is limited to 1,288 Special Drawing Rights per Passenger, unless it is proven that the damage resulted from the act or omission of us or our agents and was done either: with intent to cause damage; or recklessly and with knowledge that damage would probably result, and you prove that our employees or agents were acting within the scope of their employment. Special Drawing Rights shall be converted into the appropriate national currency as at the date of judgment or settlement.
We are not liable in any event in respect of loss or damage to Baggage which is not permitted to be carried under these Terms (including our Dangerous Goods Policy) or for any fragile, valuable, perishable articles or articles not packed in suitable containers that have been packed in your Baggage contrary to the requirements.
Claims Procedures
Travel Insurance and Insolvency Protection
Because our liability is limited, you should always ensure you have adequate insurance cover for your entire travel, including to cover the value of your Baggage and its contents and any medical risks.
Personal Injury or Death claims
If:
you have a claim for personal injury; or
your personal representative has a claim for your death;
you or your personal representative, as applicable, should tell us in writing as soon as possible.
Baggage Claims
If your Baggage is damaged, lost or delayed during a flight, you must advise a member of our Ground Crew at the arrival airport as soon as you are aware that it has been damaged, lost or delayed.
If you receive your Baggage without making a complaint, this will be reasonable evidence that the Baggage was delivered in good condition and according to these Terms, unless you prove otherwise. In case of Babbage loss we will settle all claims with 21 days form the date of arrival.
Limitation of Claims
Any action in court to claim damages and/or compensation under a Convention must be brought within two years of the date of arrival of the aircraft at its destination, or the date on which the aircraft was scheduled to have arrived, or the date on which your carriage by IPS Airways ceased. The method of calculating the period of limitation shall be determined by the law of the court where the case is heard.
For claims under APR 2019 and Regulation EU261, the limitation period is determined by the law of the court where the case is heard. In England and Wales, this is six years from the date of the relevant flight.
