<strong>Baggage</strong><strong>Allowance</strong><br />
&<strong>Charges</strong><br />
<strong>Baggage</strong> <strong>Allowance</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Charges</strong> is a centralized database of more than 350<br />
airlines’ baggage rules that enables you to publish your free baggage provisions,<br />
excess <strong>and</strong> special items, embargoes, <strong>and</strong> carry-on allowance <strong>and</strong> fees in all<br />
sales channels. When you file your policies with ATPCO, you can identify what your<br />
passengers can bring for free, define what items cost extra <strong>and</strong> how much, <strong>and</strong><br />
customize your policies depending on a passengers’ status.<br />
