Information for your trip
LUGGAGE
Hold Luggage: Refers to all luggage that is checked at the airport, and that is transported in the aircraft’s hold. The weight and size limit are expressed in the purchased ticket.
The concept of luggage includes clothing, and personal hygiene items, excluding fragile or perishable objects, and damage to said items is not covered by the airline. For the transportation of other species, the passenger may use the cargo service, which includes cargo insurance in case of damage or loss.
Important: Hold Luggage dimensions cannot in any case exceed the following:
Cessna: 30x100x75 cm
Hand Luggage: Hand luggage comprises all personal effects that the passenger can carry free of charge, under their responsibility and care, being their maximum weight stipulated in the purchased air ticket. Regarding its dimensions, this means a small backpack, notebook bag, handbag or baby bag in the case of smaller aircraft, and a maximum size of 43x41x21 cm for BAe. If the carry-on baggage exceeds the measurements or weight allowed, it must be sent as hold luggage, subject to charge if it exceeds the stipulated luggage allowance.
Recommendation for objects of value: We can all contribute to making travel safer. Please carry within your hand luggage all objects that are fragile or valuable (money, jewelry, electronic devices, etc.), medicine, documents, keys, so that you carry your most valuable items yourself.
If due to weight or dimensions you need to carry an object of this sort in your hold luggage, please take your time to declare these items at the airport counter.
Aerovías DAP will not transport any luggage which contains objects that could be considered dangerous (gases, corrosive substances, explosives, weapons, etc.)

This limit will not apply: (a) if the passenger made a special declaration of the value of the delivery of checked baggage; and (b) if the carrier’s negligence is proven in court.

If the luggage is received without protest from the passenger, the law presumes that it has been delivered in good condition.

Minor cuts, rips, scratches, dents, stains, dirt, or broken zippers.
