6.5.2.8 The Airline or the Operating Air Carrier may decide in each individual case whether to transport extra or special baggage. The decision relating to transportation of excess and special baggage is based on available capacity in the hold and on occupational health and safety regulations. As a result, excess and special baggage may be subject to a quantity restriction or entirely excluded from transportation. The Passenger shall only have the right to demand carriage of excess or special baggage registered in accordance with the provisions of section 6.5.2.9 if the Airline has confirmed the registration.
6.5.2.9 Any piece of baggage (whether it be travel baggage or sports baggage) over 32 kg / 71 pounds must be registered as especially heavy luggage at least 48 hours before departure at the Airline's Service Centre. The weight and dimensions of the excess or special baggage are to be provided upon registration.
6.5.2.10 The following terms also apply to sports equipment:
- If the baggage contains diving equipment, the weight-belts are to be transported without weights and compressed-air bottles must be empty. Diving lamps must be carried with the heat-creating element or battery packed separately, in order to prevent it switching on during the transport. All removed batteries are to be secured against short circuiting.
- Bicycles with an auxiliary engine or electric engine are deemed to be Dangerous Goods and are excluded from carriage as baggage.
- The Airline must be notified in advance if Passengers will be checking in sports weapons, hunting weapons and associated ammunition, or any items that have the appearance of or are labelled as weapons, ammunition or potentially explosive substances. The Airline recommends that Passengers carrying such items appear at the check-in desk early on the day of departure. The Airline or the Operating Air Carrier will only permit such items to be carried if they are transported as freight or checked baggage in accordance with statutory regulations covering the transportation of Dangerous Goods. Each Passenger is only permitted to carry a maximum of 5 kg of ammunition (of subclass 1.4S, UN0012 or UN0014). Further information will be provided upon registration.
