Friday 14th May 2010 - Air
Malta Sporting Allowance
Update |
|
Over the last couple of
years we have had a lot of
members complain to us about
luggage allowance on
AirMalta flights, basically
what was happening was that
people were still being
charged a €15 (each way)
sporting allowance
supplement even if they were
within their 20k limit but
carrying diving equipment.
Through much correspondents
between Air Malta and a
regular visitor to Gozo it
seems that this problem has
been sorted! |
|
Following the correspondents
I would recommend telling
your visiting divers that if
they can fit in all their
diving equipment and any
other belongings into a bag
which does not weigh over
20k they will not need to
pay the ‘extra sporting
allowance’." However
since the rules stipulate
that no valuables are to be
placed in checked in luggage
make sure that you insure
the contents of your
luggage's since Air Malta is
not responsible for any
damages.” Please remember
that valuables can be placed
in hand luggage, note max
8kilos and must not exceed
18x45x50cm in size." |
For those people needing
extra weight allowance/bag
please advise your divers to
check out

which gives details on the
€15 for 30k sporting
allowance.
Marjolein Thrower received
an email from Air Malta
confirming the Luggage
Allowance
(download email).
It is advisable to tell
divers to have a copy of
this email while checking in
at the airport just in case
the details have not been
passed onto the check-in
staff. |
