Chathams Pacific Overweight Baggage Fee 2011 - Extra Bag Fee - Oversize Baggage

Generally you will be able to carry your excess baggage subject to the following:

All excess baggage is carried on a space available basis
Over-sized items such as surf boards may not be able to be carried on the smaller aircraft
You should make prior arrangements to carry large or heavy items.
Excess baggage rates apply
Even though you may pay the excess baggage charge it does not guarantee the excess will travel on the same flight as you. All aircraft have payload restrictions and the carriage of excess baggage will be determined 15 minutes prior to departure. We will advise you prior to departure if we are unable to carry your excess on your flight. Should it not be able to travel it will go on the next flight that has space available.

If you need your excess baggage carried on a guaranteed basis please contact us at the time of booking. We will look at your specific needs and recommend options and costs.
