Transporting these types of items requires special attention due to their value and fragility. It’s essential to follow the recommendations to ensure this baggage arrives at its destination in perfect condition. Learn more below:
- Use sturdy materials that protect these items from impacts and movement. They must be safe to carry in the cabin without the risk of falling or shifting, and should not have any loose or sharp parts.
- Make sure it meets the maximum allowed dimensions — 55 × 35 × 20 cm (22 × 14 × 8 in) — or a weight of up to 10 kg (22 lb).
- If the artwork or antique does not meet the minimum size or weight requirements, it must be transported as cargo.
- When planning your trip, you must inform us of your intention to travel with this type of item.
- We will ask you to sign a Limited Liability Tag for any high-value item, and it will be noted in your booking.
Additional considerations
- If this item is part of a country’s cultural heritage, depending on your origin or destination, you’ll need permits from the Ministry of Culture or the relevant customs regulations to ensure it’s authorized for transport.
- Consult the official pages of each country to ensure you meet all applicable regulations.
Important
Transporting non-conventional baggage, including musical instruments and works of art, is subject to the signature of the limited liability certificate issued by avianca, which you will find on the back of the baggage tag. It clarifies that avianca is not responsible for the condition of your baggage when transported in the hold.
