Luggage

Tagging along your luggage

  • You have been provided with a set of luggage for the trip.
  • As all these bags look the same, put your own personalised tags on these bags for easy identification.
  • All luggage to be in good condition, e.g., no loose ends, broken handles, tears, broken wheels.
  • When you pick up your luggage, check that you have your own bag before leaving the airport luggage carousel.

Check-in suitcase

  • Regional flights to Johannesburg: Baggage allowance is 1 piece at 20kg each per person.
  • Flight to Dubrovnik via Istanbul: Baggage allowance is 2 pieces at 23kg each per person.
  • Flight to Dubrovnik via Frankfurt: Baggage allowance is 1 piece at 23kg each per person.
  • Liquids, perfumes, creams, sharp objects (nail files, nail clippers, scissors) to be packed in the check-in luggage.

Hand luggage (to take inside the plane)

  • 1 x hand luggage item per person not exceeding 55x40x23cm and 7kg.
  • Any medicine, travel documents, jewellery, camera, a change of clothes and other similar personal belongings to be packed in hand luggage.
  • Leave the expensive jewellery in the safe back home – you do not need it on the trip.
  • Do not use all your full weight allowance on departure if you intend to do shopping. Excess baggage charges are VERY expensive.
  • Airlines are very strict on the weight allowed in terms of luggage.
  • DO NOT exceed the airline weight limit per person – charges will without exception be for your own account.

It is recommended that you protect your luggage to avoid any damages during the flights and for security reasons:

  • Buy a luggage glove (it has a security lock) at any luggage store which you can use for the multiple flights during your trip, or
  • Plastic wrap your suitcase at the airport before checking in for your flight.

Flights to Johannesburg – remember to collect your luggage on arrival at OR Tambo Airport and checked-in at the Turkish Airlines / Lufthansa Airlines check-in counters for the flight to Istanbul / Frankfurt / Dubrovnik.
