Passenger's arrival at the airport
Given the nature of this equipment, passengers must arrive at the airport in sufficient time to allow for the equipment to be checked in, taken to the aircraft and loaded in the hold.

Admittance to the flight
If space has been booked, as described in point 1 above, such equipment will be admitted to the flight as accompanied luggage, to be carried in the hold. If the relevant booking has not been made, carriage of the equipment will be subject to the availability of space on the flight. All elements must be suitably arranged and packed, so as to prevent breakage, disruptions or damage when boarding or disembarking and during the flight.

Loading the equipment
Bearing in mind that the nature of this equipment normally prevents it from being borne on luggage conveyors, it is left to the discretion of the airline's staff to decide upon a system for facilitating its transport from the check-in area to the aircraft. Any expenses to which that transport may give rise must be met by the passenger.
