Such devices are intended to assist a passenger with a disability to hear, see, communicate, manoeuvre or perform other functions of daily life and may include medical devices and medications. Equipment used by a service animal (e.g. hamess, leash, vest) in conjunction with its work as a service animal is also an assistive device. However food is not equipment and therefore when tendered as carry on or check baggage, the standard size, weight, and baggage allowance limits may apply.
Mobility aids and assistive devices that are carried by the passenger can be accepted without charge as specified in the table below in addition to the baggage allowance, provided that the equipment is necessary for the journey.
From/To Destinations in the US
- No limit on assistive devices and mobility aids in addition to the free baggage allowance
Other Destinations
- One assistive device and two pieces of mobility aids per passenger in addition to the free baggage allowance.
For the passenger travelling on two or more sectors e.g. Manila - Hong Kong - Los Angeles where there are different baggage policies for mobility aids and assistive devices, the most generous policy shall apply to all sectors.
The major change under this new rule Baggage Provisions Selection Criteria (Resolution 302) is to switch from following the baggage travel allowance and charges set and agreed on by the industry to following the allowance and charges of the Most Significant Carrier (MSC) in multi-carrier journeys. In addition, journeys originating from or with the furthest point being in the United States will be subject to another definition of MSC.
Most Significant Carrier (MSC) is:
The first carrier crossing the IATA Tariff Area (for travel across one Tariff Area).
Example:
| Sector | IATA Tariff Area | Carrier |
|---|---|---|
| Sydney - Hong Kong (no stop-over) | Tariff Area 3 to Tariff Area 3 | Qantas |
| Hong Kong - London | Tariff Area 3 to Tariff Area 2 | Cathay Pacific |
Cathay Pacific is the Most Significant Carrier.
OR
The first carrier crossing the IATA Sub-area (for travel within a Tariff Area).
Example:
| Sector | IATA Sub Area | Carrier |
|---|---|---|
| Sydney - Singapore (no stop-over) | Southwest Pacific to Southeast Asia | Qantas |
| Singapore - Hong Kong | Southeast Asia to Southeast Asia | Cathay Pacific |
Qantas is the Most Significant Carrier.
OR
The first carrier flying an international sector (for travel within a Sub Area).
Example:
| Sector | Carrier |
|---|---|
| Phuket - Bangkok (no stop-over) | Thai Airways |
| Bangkok - Hong Kong | Cathay Pacific |
Cathay Pacific is the Most Significant Carrier.
Example:
| Sector | Carrier |
|---|---|
| Singapore - Bangkok (no stop-over) | Singapore Airlines |
| Bangkok - Hong Kong | Cathay Pacific |
Singapore Airlines is the Most Significant Carrier.
IATA has divided the world into three Tariff Areas but within a Tariff Area there are a few sub areas:
| IATA Tariff Areas | Sub areas |
|---|---|
| North America, Central and South America, Hawaii | USA, Canada, Mexico |
| Caribbean | |
| Central America | |
| South America | |
| Europe, Middle East | Europe |
| Middle East | |
| Africa | |
| Asia, Guam, Southwest Pacific | Japan, Korea |
| Southeast Asia | |
| South Asian Subcontinent | |
| Southwest Pacific |
For journeys originating from or with the furthest point being in the United States, exceptions imposed by the Department of Transportation of the US Government will be in place.
For instance:
| Boston - Los Angeles - Hong Kong - Los Angeles - Boston | Exception applies |
| Hong Kong - Vancouver - New York City - Hong Kong | Exception applies |
| Hong Kong - Los Angeles - Toronto - Hong Kong | Exception does NOT apply |
If the exception applies:
- The MSC must be the Marketing Carrier for codeshare flights.
Example: Los Angeles - Hong Kong travel with tickets bought from American Airlines but the flight is operated by Cathay Pacific.
American Airlines is the Most Significant Carrier. - The whole journey should be taken into account when determining the MSC even if the traveller checks out their baggage at one point during the journey.
