Before every handover

Know exactly what is being carried.

Travellers remain responsible for everything in their luggage. Both people should check the airline, customs, transit and destination rules before agreeing.

  • Open and inspect every item together.
  • Never accept sealed or unknown contents.
  • Refuse prohibited, dangerous or restricted goods.
