1. Introduction

Welcome to the Baggage Policy of FarezSphere, an independent online travel agency operated by Trip Contrast LLC.

This policy provides important information regarding airline baggage allowances, carry-on luggage, checked baggage, excess baggage fees, restricted items, special baggage, delayed luggage, lost baggage, damaged baggage, and other baggage-related requirements applicable to domestic and international flight reservations.

FarezSphere offers flight booking services through applicable travel distribution systems, contracted suppliers, consolidators, and other authorized reservation channels.

Although customers may search and book eligible flights through FarezSphere, baggage transportation services are provided by the respective operating airlines.

Each airline establishes its own baggage policies, subject to applicable aviation regulations and passenger protection laws. Baggage allowances and fees may vary according to the airline, ticket type, travel route, cabin class, destination, and other booking conditions.

Nothing in this policy limits any passenger rights or remedies provided under applicable law.

2. Understanding Airline Baggage Allowances

Airline baggage allowances determine the quantity, size, weight, and type of luggage passengers may transport under their ticket conditions.

Depending on the airline and fare purchased, baggage allowances may include:

  • Personal items
  • Carry-on baggage
  • Checked baggage
  • Additional purchased baggage
  • Special equipment
  • Sports equipment
  • Musical instruments
  • Mobility aids and assistive devices
  • Infant and child-related equipment

Baggage entitlements may differ between airlines, even when flights operate on similar routes.

Certain basic or restricted fare categories may provide limited baggage allowances, while other fare categories may include additional baggage benefits.

Travelers should review the baggage conditions associated with their selected fare before completing a reservation.

3. Carry-On Baggage Policy

Carry-on baggage refers to luggage passengers may bring into the aircraft cabin, subject to the operating airline's rules.

Airlines may establish specific requirements concerning:

  • Maximum carry-on dimensions
  • Maximum permitted weight
  • Number of cabin bags
  • Storage requirements
  • Eligible cabin baggage items
  • Restricted or prohibited articles
  • Additional cabin baggage charges

Carry-on allowances may vary according to the operating airline, aircraft type, route, cabin category, and ticket conditions.

Some airlines may permit a carry-on bag and a personal item, while certain fare categories may include only a personal item.

Passengers should not assume that every airline ticket includes a full-size carry-on bag.

Carry-On Baggage Size and Weight

There is no single carry-on baggage size or weight allowance that applies to every airline worldwide.

Passengers should confirm the applicable dimensions and weight restrictions directly with the operating airline.

Baggage exceeding permitted cabin limits may need to be checked and could be subject to additional charges.

Carry-On Baggage Security Requirements

Cabin baggage is subject to airport security screening and applicable government regulations.

Certain liquids, aerosols, gels, sharp objects, batteries, and other items may be restricted.

Travelers must comply with the security requirements applicable to their departure, transit, and destination airports.

4. Personal Item Allowance

A personal item is generally a smaller article that can be stored beneath the seat in front of the passenger, where permitted.

Examples may include:

  • Small handbags
  • Laptop bags
  • Compact backpacks
  • Small briefcases
  • Other qualifying personal belongings

The permitted size, weight, and quantity of personal items depend on the operating airline.

Certain airlines may count a personal item as part of the overall cabin baggage allowance.

Passengers should verify the specific restrictions applicable to their ticket.

5. Checked Baggage Policy

Checked baggage refers to luggage accepted by an airline for transportation in the aircraft's baggage compartment.

Checked baggage allowances may be included in the ticket price or offered for an additional charge.

Airlines determine the applicable:

  • Number of checked bags
  • Maximum weight per bag
  • Maximum dimensions
  • Baggage acceptance conditions
  • Additional baggage fees
  • Oversized baggage charges
  • Overweight baggage charges
  • Special handling requirements

Complimentary Checked Baggage

Some fare categories, premium cabins, international itineraries, or eligible passenger benefits may include checked baggage.

However, complimentary checked baggage is not guaranteed with every ticket.

Paid Checked Baggage

Certain fares may require passengers to purchase checked baggage separately.

Where available, baggage may be purchased through the airline, during an eligible booking process, or through other authorized channels.

The price may vary depending on the route, airline, bag quantity, travel dates, and time of purchase.

6. Baggage Allowance by Cabin Class

Economy Class

Economy Class baggage allowances depend on the airline and fare type. Certain Economy fares may include checked baggage, while others may require separate payment.

Premium Economy Class

Premium Economy fares may include additional baggage benefits compared with some Economy fare categories, depending on the airline and route.

Business Class

Business Class tickets may offer higher checked baggage allowances or additional baggage benefits, subject to the applicable airline policy.

First Class

First Class fares may include enhanced baggage allowances where the airline offers such benefits.

7. Domestic Flight Baggage Rules

Domestic baggage policies vary between airlines and ticket categories.

For flights within the United States, passengers should review the operating airline's baggage requirements before departure.

Some domestic fares may include only limited cabin baggage, while others may provide checked baggage or additional allowances.

Travelers should also verify whether baggage charges are included in the displayed ticket price or payable separately.

Where required by applicable law, relevant baggage fee information will be disclosed during the booking process.

8. International Flight Baggage Rules

International baggage allowances may differ from domestic travel policies.

Airlines may apply different baggage rules based on:

  • Origin and destination
  • International routing
  • Operating carrier
  • Ticketing carrier
  • Cabin class
  • Fare category
  • Codeshare arrangements
  • Applicable international regulations

Certain international itineraries may use a piece-based baggage system, while others may use a weight-based system.

Passengers should review the baggage allowance for each applicable flight segment, particularly when traveling on itineraries involving multiple airlines.

9. Connecting Flights and Multiple Airlines

Passengers traveling on connecting flights should pay particular attention to baggage conditions.

Different airlines may have different baggage rules, fees, and handling procedures.

For itineraries involving multiple carriers, applicable regulations, interline arrangements, and carrier baggage policies determine which baggage rules apply.

The baggage policy of the airline operating the first flight does not necessarily govern every segment of a multi-airline itinerary.

Passengers should confirm:

  • Applicable baggage allowance
  • Checked baggage transfer arrangements
  • Whether luggage must be collected and rechecked
  • Baggage fees for individual segments
  • Transit airport baggage procedures
  • Customs and immigration requirements

Separate tickets may require passengers to collect and recheck their baggage, even when the flights are part of the same overall journey.

FarezSphere does not guarantee through-checking of baggage unless it is expressly confirmed by the applicable airlines.

10. Codeshare Flight Baggage Policies

A codeshare flight is a flight marketed by one airline but operated by another.

Baggage allowances on codeshare itineraries may depend on applicable regulations and airline agreements.

The marketing airline and operating airline may have different baggage policies.

Passengers should review the baggage information associated with their ticket and confirm any uncertainty with the relevant airline.

For certain itineraries involving travel to or from the United States, specific U.S. Department of Transportation baggage disclosure and interline baggage rules may apply.

11. Additional and Excess Baggage Fees

Airlines may charge additional fees when baggage exceeds the allowance included in the purchased fare.

Charges may apply to:

  • Additional checked bags
  • Overweight baggage
  • Oversized baggage
  • Special equipment
  • Certain sporting items
  • Other baggage services

Additional baggage charges are determined by the applicable airline or service provider.

FarezSphere does not independently determine airline-imposed excess baggage fees.

Where FarezSphere facilitates the purchase of an eligible baggage service, the applicable price and any separately charged agency service fee will be disclosed before payment authorization.

12. Overweight and Oversized Baggage

Baggage exceeding the airline's permitted weight or size restrictions may be subject to additional charges or acceptance limitations.

Certain baggage items may be refused if they exceed the airline's safety or operational limits.

Passengers should confirm the applicable overweight and oversized baggage rules before traveling.

Paying an additional baggage fee does not guarantee that every oversized or overweight item will be accepted for transportation.

13. Sports Equipment and Special Baggage

Airlines may have separate transportation policies for sports equipment and other special baggage.

Examples include:

  • Golf equipment
  • Skis and snowboards
  • Bicycles
  • Surfboards
  • Fishing equipment
  • Diving equipment
  • Musical instruments
  • Other oversized or specialized articles

Such items may require advance notification, special packaging, additional payment, or airline approval.

Passengers should contact the operating airline before departure to confirm acceptance conditions.

14. Musical Instruments

Musical instruments may be transported as cabin baggage, checked baggage, or under other arrangements depending on the instrument's size, airline rules, and applicable passenger protections.

Certain instruments may require special handling or an additional seat, where permitted.

For flights subject to U.S. regulations, passengers may have specific rights concerning the carriage of musical instruments.

Travelers should consult the airline's applicable policy before departure.

15. Mobility Aids and Assistive Devices

Passengers requiring wheelchairs, mobility aids, medical equipment, or other assistive devices should review the airline's accessibility and special assistance procedures.

For flights covered by applicable disability rights regulations, airlines may be required to transport qualifying assistive devices without ordinary baggage charges, subject to safety and operational requirements.

Passengers should communicate relevant assistance needs to the airline as early as practical.

FarezSphere may assist with eligible requests concerning reservations made through our platform, but the operating airline is responsible for providing the accessibility services required of it by law.

16. Infant and Child Baggage Allowances

Baggage allowances for infants and children may differ from those applicable to adult passengers.

Airlines may establish specific rules for:

  • Infant baggage
  • Child baggage
  • Strollers
  • Car seats
  • Child restraint systems
  • Diaper bags
  • Other child-related travel equipment

Certain items may be transported without additional charges under applicable airline policies or laws.

Passengers should verify the relevant airline's requirements before departure.

17. Restricted and Prohibited Baggage Items

Passengers must comply with airline safety requirements and applicable airport security regulations.

Certain items may be prohibited or restricted in carry-on baggage, checked baggage, or both.

Examples may include:

  • Explosives and fireworks
  • Flammable substances
  • Certain chemicals
  • Compressed gases
  • Weapons and ammunition
  • Hazardous materials
  • Certain lithium batteries
  • Damaged or recalled batteries
  • Other restricted articles

Restrictions vary depending on the item, airline, airport, and jurisdiction.

Passengers should consult official airline and aviation security guidance before packing potentially restricted items.

FarezSphere does not authorize the transportation of prohibited articles.

18. Lithium Batteries and Electronic Devices

Airlines and aviation authorities impose specific requirements for lithium batteries, portable electronic devices, power banks, and related equipment.

Spare lithium batteries and power banks are generally subject to carry-on baggage restrictions and may be prohibited in checked baggage.

Certain battery capacities or devices may require airline approval or may not be permitted.

Passengers should verify current aviation safety requirements before departure.

19. Liquids, Aerosols and Gels

Liquids, aerosols, and gels carried in cabin baggage are subject to airport security rules.

Requirements may vary by country, airport, screening technology, and applicable exemptions.

Medication, infant food, and certain medically necessary liquids may qualify for special procedures under relevant security regulations.

Passengers should consult the applicable airport security authority before traveling.

20. Valuable, Fragile and Essential Items

Travelers are encouraged to keep essential documents and permitted valuable items in their cabin baggage or personal item, subject to airline security rules.

These may include:

  • Passports and travel documents
  • Essential medication
  • Important identification documents
  • Jewelry and other valuables
  • Electronic devices
  • Necessary travel documents
  • Other important personal belongings

Airlines may impose restrictions or special conditions concerning valuable or fragile items placed in checked baggage.

Passengers should review the applicable airline's baggage liability conditions.

21. Delayed Baggage

Baggage may occasionally be delayed because of airline operations, connecting flight arrangements, baggage handling issues, or other circumstances.

Passengers experiencing delayed baggage should report the issue promptly to the airline or its designated baggage service desk.

Where available, travelers should obtain a baggage irregularity or reference number and retain relevant documentation.

Depending on the itinerary and applicable law, passengers may be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses or other remedies.

FarezSphere may provide available reservation information to assist eligible customers, but delayed baggage investigations and delivery arrangements are generally managed by the operating airline.

22. Lost Baggage

If checked baggage cannot be located, passengers should follow the relevant airline's baggage claim procedure.

Airlines may require:

  • A baggage claim reference
  • Boarding passes
  • Baggage identification tags
  • A description of the missing luggage
  • Evidence of contents or value
  • Relevant purchase receipts
  • Other supporting documentation

Passenger compensation rights may be governed by applicable national laws, airline obligations, and international conventions.

For qualifying international journeys, the Montreal Convention may apply.

For qualifying domestic U.S. flights, U.S. Department of Transportation baggage liability rules may apply.

FarezSphere does not independently determine airline baggage liability limits or adjudicate baggage compensation claims.

23. Damaged Baggage

Passengers who discover damaged baggage should report the issue to the airline as soon as possible.

Airlines may establish claim procedures and documentation requirements, subject to applicable legal protections.

Travelers should retain photographs, baggage tags, receipts, and other relevant evidence.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, the airline may be responsible for repair, replacement, reimbursement, or other remedies.

FarezSphere may assist eligible customers with available booking information but does not operate airline baggage handling systems.

24. Baggage Claim Deadlines

Baggage-related claims may be subject to specific reporting and written-notice deadlines.

The applicable deadlines depend on the type of claim, airline, itinerary, and governing law.

For international journeys governed by the Montreal Convention, written complaints concerning damaged checked baggage generally must be made within seven days of receipt, and complaints concerning delayed baggage generally must be made within 21 days from the date the baggage was placed at the passenger's disposal.

Other rules or deadlines may apply to domestic journeys, different claim categories, or other legal frameworks.

Passengers should report baggage problems promptly and consult the applicable airline's claims procedure.

25. Baggage Liability and Passenger Rights

Airline liability for baggage loss, damage, or delay may be governed by applicable aviation regulations, national laws, international conventions, and enforceable carrier conditions.

Liability limits may vary by jurisdiction and are subject to periodic changes.

FarezSphere does not establish or modify statutory airline baggage liability limits.

Nothing in this policy excludes or restricts passenger rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

Trip Contrast LLC remains responsible for its own representations, booking services, and obligations under applicable law.

26. Baggage Insurance and Travel Protection

Travel insurance or baggage protection products may be available through separate providers where offered.

Coverage may include certain baggage delays, losses, theft, or damage, depending on the policy purchased.

Coverage limits, exclusions, claim procedures, and eligibility requirements are determined by the insurance provider.

Travel insurance does not guarantee reimbursement for every baggage-related incident.

Customers should review the applicable insurance policy before purchasing coverage.

27. Baggage Purchases and Ancillary Services

Certain airlines permit customers to purchase baggage allowances before departure.

Baggage purchases may be available through the airline's website, mobile application, airport counter, or authorized booking channels.

Where FarezSphere offers eligible baggage-related assistance or purchases, the applicable service conditions and charges will be disclosed before the customer authorizes payment.

Some airline ancillary services may be nonrefundable or subject to restrictions, except where refunds are required by applicable law.

28. Baggage Allowance Changes

Airlines may update baggage policies, subject to applicable regulations, contractual obligations, and disclosure requirements.

Baggage conditions applicable to a particular reservation may depend on the ticket issuance date, fare conditions, itinerary, and relevant legal protections.

Passengers should not assume that a later website policy change automatically modifies the baggage allowance already included in their purchased ticket.

Where legally required, the baggage terms disclosed or applicable at the time of purchase will be honored.

29. How to Check Your Baggage Allowance

Passengers can review baggage information through several channels:

  1. Review the baggage details displayed during the FarezSphere flight booking process.
  2. Examine the itinerary confirmation and electronic ticket information.
  3. Check the operating airline's official website.
  4. Review the airline's baggage allowance and fee policies.
