Packing Tips • Always remove the previous trip airline tags and mark your baggage with your name, address, email and contact number where you can be reached at your destination. You should also put a copy of this information inside your baggage. Should your baggage be misplaced, these labels will hasten identification and help us to return it to you. Labels can be obtained at the Platinum Star check-in counter (if available).
• Mark your bags with a brightly colour string or ribbon to assist you in identifying your bag quickly on the baggage carousel.
• Keep all loose handles, hooks, and straps closed securely inside if you can, or remove them. These can catch on conveyers and belt loaders and cause damage to your luggage or other passengers' baggage.
• Always lock your baggage.
• For security reasons, ensure you pack your bags yourself and do not at any time leave them unattended. Never carry a package or baggage for someone else unless you have completely checked the contents.
• Due to safety requirements, there are a number of items that cannot be packed in your carry-on or checked baggage. Please visit dangerous goods information above.
• Never wrap or package gifts; security personnel may need to inspect them.
• Keep medication and fragile items in your carry-on baggage. Keep all medication in its original, labeled container and carry the physician's prescription with you.
• When you check your bags, make sure you get the correct number of baggage claim stubs and that each one is marked with the correct city name of your destination on your baggage tags.
• Make a list of items you have packed and their estimated value. Keep your list in a safe place until you return. Report any missing, delayed or damaged items before you leave the airport. This will help us to start tracing right away.
• Platinum Star advises you that following items may not be included in your baggage and it accepts no liability for your damage or loss:
- Cash, negotiable bonds, deed, etc;
