Cayman Airways Baggage Policy

Effective December 15, 2008.

In order to deliver the best possible service to our valuable customers, Cayman Airways developed a baggage policy based on studies of variables that influence the maximum capacity of baggage on our aircraft. These variables include size of aircraft cargo compartments, dimensions of the doors, fuel requirements, typical number of passengers on board, and government regulations. The evaluation resulted in the establishment of a standard free baggage allowance that is applied to all Cayman Airways flights. The standard free baggage allowance is the maximum number, size, and weight of bags that each customer is allowed with no additional charge.

Free Baggage Allowances

Passenger	Number of Bags Allowed Free Of Charge	Size Per Piece Allowed Free Of Charge	Maximum Weight Per Piece Free Of Charge
Economy Class Free Baggage Acceptance	2 pieces checked 1 piece carry-on	62 in/157 cm (checked) 45 in/114 cm (carry-on)	55 lbs/25 kg (checked) 40 lbs/18 kg (carry-on)
Business Class Free Baggage Acceptance	3 pieces checked 1 piece carry-on	62 in/157 cm (checked) 45 in/114 cm (carry-on)	55 lbs/25 kg (checked) 40 lbs/18 kg (carry-on)
Infant Under 2	1 piece carry-on	45 in/114 cm (carry-on)	40 lbs/18 kg (carry-on)

Notes:

When traveling to Cayman Brac or Little Cayman via the Twin Otter Service; Baggage allowance is 55 lbs per person and only one 15 lb carry-on, any excess will be charged $.50 US per pound.

Boxes instead of free checked bags:

Cayman Airways will accept a fragile or perishable item without a limited liability release if it:

Is packaged in the original factory-sealed container
Includes internal protective packing material
Is typically designed for shipping

Items that are not appropriately packaged, and are not assistive devices, will be accepted upon completion of a limited liability release.

During a Baggage Restriction:

One (1) box, instead of one (1) free bag of 62 linear inches (157 cm) (total length + width + height) depending on class of service will be accepted free of charge.

If your baggage does not meet the above requirements, please review the Excess Baggage rates

In addition to the one carry-on item, you may bring free-of-charge items below:

One small personal article such as a briefcase, purse, day planner, small laptop computer, camera case, compact disk player or similar sized personal entertainment item
Personal aid devices such as wheelchairs, braces, canes, crutches, prosthetic devices and walking sticks, provided passenger is dependent on them
One infant article such as a small collapsible stroller, a diaper bag or a government approved child seat (larger strollers can be checked in the jetway prior to boarding the aircraft)

Excess Baggage

Cayman Airways understands that at times, it may be necessary to travel with an item that exceeds the size or weight limitations or is in excess of the free allowance. Additional charges apply to this type of baggage. Excess baggage charges cannot be waived, and will be collected at the ticket counter. Baggage connecting to other airlines will also be subject to the connecting airline's excess charges and/or oversize, overweight charges in addition to Cayman Airways charges. Any piece over the free baggage allowance or baggage that exceeds the size and weight limitations will be subject to additional charges. Excess baggage is transported on a space-available basis and will be carried subject to load capacities of the aircraft. Other restrictions may apply. Baggage in excess of 99 pounds (32 kilograms) or 80 linear inches will not be accepted as checked baggage. Assistive devices, including electric wheelchairs over 99 pounds (32 kilograms), will be accepted.
