All claims are treated strictly in accordance with PassionAir’s “Terms and Conditions of Carriage“ as set out on the PassionAir website and which all passengers agree to at the time of making their booking. There shall be no deviations from these terms and conditions.
Items accepted under “limited liability” are handled at the sole risk of the passenger. The act of handing over such duly identified items of baggage to PassionAir or its agents thereby indemnifies the carrier against any subsequent claim for alleged damage to and/or pilferage from such item or its content.
All baggage irregularities must be reported to a PassionAir agent or representative immediately upon arrival.
Delayed Baggage
We will do our best to carry luggage on the same aircraft as its owner. However, for operational, security and/or safety reasons PassionAir does not guarantee that your luggage will be carried on the same flight. In these cases, PassionAir cannot be liable for the delay of the baggage. Once the bag arrives at its destination, PassionAir shall inform the passenger to pick up the luggage from its airport office. Passengers must present a valid ID and the original baggage tags to pick up the bag(s).
No compensation will be paid for delayed baggage, including any consequential or indirect losses resulting thereof.

Replacement/Repair for Damaged Bags

Should the damage to your bag prove to be to such an extent that it is obvious that the bag cannot be repaired, PassionAir will replace the bag with a similar bag. Please note that the replacement bag may well differ as far as brand name, exact appearance and price is concerned. PassionAir offer or repair or replacement shall be final.
Lost Luggage/Items
We take utmost care of your bag and its contents. Unfortunately, as operators, we do not control the security in the various airports that we fly to.

When you notice any pilfering of your luggage:

• PassionAir shall NOT reimburse the value or the content of the bag unless such content and value are declared before the acceptance of the bag.
PassionAir shall not be responsible for items of high value that are checked in, such items are to be carried onboard. If for any reason it is declared and accepted for carriage as checked-in baggage, the passenger will sign a limited liability form.
