Special Baggage Restrictions
Special baggage restrictions apply to Northern Group flights to Penrhyn, Manihiki and Pukapuka. If you are traveling with others, then you may combine your baggage entitlement provided that the weight of no individual item exceeds 32kg. We may refuse to carry any baggage which, in our view, is unsuitable for carriage for any reason. Large items of baggage such as bicycles or surfboards may be carried; special conditions will apply and a surcharge may be imposed. Wherever practical, we will carry your baggage on the same flight as you. If this is not practical, for any reason, then we will carry your baggage on the next flight having space and load capacity to do so.

Special Provisions for Infants and Others
Infants (i.e., children under the age of 24 months) may travel for an infant fare, when accompanied by and booked at the same time as an adult passenger, and occupying the same seat as that passenger. Any newborn infant, less than 7 days old, will not be permitted to travel, unless special arrangements are made with us. We will do our best to enable the travel of unaccompanied children, pregnant women, sick and injured persons and persons suffering disabilities and mobility problems. If you or any person for whom you have made a booking has special needs, you should contact Air Rarotonga to discuss what arrangements can be made with us to assure safe and comfortable travel. If you, or any person booked by you requires special care or assistance during a flight, then you should make arrangements for a companion to accompany you (or that person) as our staff are not available to be cater to special care and assistance which might be needed by individual passengers.
