Baggage
To assist Loganair with the efficient and safe delivery of your baggage, we offer the following assistance to plan your baggage requirements.
Checked Baggage
Loganair’s maximum free baggage allowance on all aircraft types is 15kg per person (excl infants). When you check-in, please ensure your baggage is secure, labelled with your name and destination address, and that old destination labels are removed. Do not pack medication, important documents, valuable items or cash in your checked baggage and please do not carry any unidentified baggage for other people as this is considered a security risk.
If you are connecting onto another flight, and are issued with transit boarding cards, your luggage will be checked through to your final destination. As there is no baggage security clearance at Barra, Campbeltown and Tiree, passengers are required to collect their luggage at Glasgow and recheck-in for their onward flight.
Cabin Baggage
In addition to the free checked baggage allowance, you may carry personal items as cabin baggage. However, to ensure the safety and comfort for everyone on board, Loganair restricts the carry-on cabin baggage to one piece per passenger. The cabin baggage must be labelled at check-in, weigh under 6 kilos, and not exceed dimensions of 20" x 15" x 10" i.e. to fit in an overhead bin or under your seat. On certain flights it may be necessary to put cabin baggage in the hold, and it will be returned to you at the bottom of the steps on arrival.
Loganair recommends passengers include important documents, cash, valuables, medication and laptops in their cabin baggage. Loganair recommends passengers do not carry items which are considered a security risk in their cabin baggage, for we cannot accept liability for items removed by airport security staff.

Excess Baggage
If you have baggage in excess of your free allowance, it will only be accepted if space is available. There is an excess baggage fee to be paid which is £10 per additional piece of luggage applicable on all routes. Payment for excess baggage can be made by credit card, cash or cheque. If you are planning to travel with excess baggage Loganair suggests you check in at least 20 minutes earlier than the recommended check-in time.
Excess baggage will only be carried subject to space being available. If your excess baggage travels unaccompanied on another flight, you are responsible for collecting this upon its arrival at the final destination.

Sports Equipment
If you are planning on taking your golf clubs, bicycle or other objects of unusual dimensions with you, then please advise British Airways when you make your reservation.Sports equipment will be carried free of charge. If your Sports Equipment exceeds your free allowance, it will only be accepted if space is available. Should space not be available, your equipment will be carried on the next available flight, again subject to space, and it is your responsibility to collect your equipment from the airport on arrival.
Golf Equipment
Defined as one bag containing not more than 14 clubs, one dozen balls and one pair of golf shoes. There is a limit to the number of sets that can be carried on each aircraft, thus please always advise the reservations agent that you intend carrying your clubs as part of your baggage allowance.
Golf groups requiring more than the permitted amount of clubs on one flight (i.e. more than 6 sets) may arrange to take the clubs at least 24 hours in advance to the departing airport to be shipped prior to the group departing. In such cases, contact Loganair on Tel: +44 (0) 141 848 7594
Bicycles
Loganair cannot carry bicycles on their Islander or Twin Otter aircraft. As only 3 bicycles can be carried on the Saab 340, please advise the reservations agent when making your booking that you intend including a bicycle as part of your baggage allowance.
When travelling with a bicycle, deflate both tyres, lower the handlebars and place them in line with the frame, and invert or remove the pedals. You should, of course, allow additional time to make these adjustments.
Surfboards
Loganair cannot accept surfboards on any of its aircraft.
Fishing Tackle
Defined as one tackle box, haversack, angler’s basket and one rod bag or box. Tackle boxes must be carried in the hold, and under no circumstances will fishing baskets containing live maggots be accepted for travel. Fishing rods may be accepted as cabin baggage.
Sporting Guns and Ammunition
Firearms and ammunition will only be accepted for carriage as checked baggage, and never as cabin baggage. Such firearms must be unloaded. When ammunition is carried, a written declaration must be made by the passenger, confirming that the ammunition is packed in a strong outside container, made of wood, metal or fibreboard, and that inside the container, the ammunition is protected against shock and secured against movement. The declaration must also confirm that no more than 5kg are contained in any one piece of checked baggage. Ammunition with explosive or incendiary projectiles is totally prohibited for carriage by air.
Scuba Diving Equipment
Defined as an empty scuba air tank, air supply regulator and pressure gauge, air tank harness, face mask, pair of diving fins, snorkel, knife, speargun, air pistol and life jacket, any or all of which must be securely packed in one bag. Please always advise the reservations agent that you intend carrying scuba diving equipment as part of your baggage allowance.
Snow ski equipment
Defined as one pair of skis and ski poles, one pair of bindings and boots. Please always advise the reservations agent that you intend carrying snow ski equipment as part of your baggage allowance. Loganair can only accept snow skis on the Saab 340 aircraft.
Always seek advise from British Airways, or contact Loganair direct on Tel +44 (0) 141 848 7594, if you have any questions on the carriage of sporting equipment. We will always try to accommodate your requirements.

Domestic animals (such as cats and dogs) may be carried as accompanied Baggage. The pet checks-in with you at the passenger terminal and rejoins you on arrival in the Baggage hall at the destination airport. You are responsible for putting your pet in a suitably approved container, which will be accepted as an additional piece of luggage for which there will be a charge of £10.
You must have a correctly sized container to carry your pet otherwise Loganair will refuse travel for your pet. The following requirements must be met:
- The container must be large enough for the pet to stand up, turn around and lie down in a natural manner.
- The container must be strong enough to protect the pet during transport, be secure enough to contain it and have sufficient ventilation on all four sides.
- The door must be secured in such a manner that it will not open accidentally or your pet cannot open it during handling and transport.
- Your pet's nose and paws should not be able to fit through any ventilation opening or door mesh.
- The container must have a water pot and a food container accessible from outside.
Pets may also travel unaccompanied, and as such will be carried and handled as cargo. Call your local British Airways/Loganair Cargo Reservations Department, and they will advise the flight availability and advise you of check-in times. Please have the container dimensions handy when you phone.
Cargo contact details and rates can be found by visiting Loganair's Cargo page.

Liability Limitations
Whilst Loganair and its service providers make every effort to ensure your luggage is handled with care, you should know Loganair’s liability for loss, delay or damage to baggage is limited unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges paid.
The extent of the airline’s liability is based on the weight of the luggage and not its value.
Loganair does not accept liability for fragile, valuable, perishable articles or baggage which is packed in damaged or unsuitable containers.
Loganair strongly recommends all passengers obtain adequate travel cover prior to their journey.
Under the Conditions of Carriage (on the reverse of the passenger coupon of your ticket or from your local British Airways / Loganair ticket office) we accept no liability for the loss of jewellery, other valuables and money contained in checked baggage. You are advised to keep valuables, important documents and money either on your person or in your cabin baggage.

Damaged or Lost Luggage
Should you find that your baggage is damaged or has not arrived, please contact Loganair’s ground handling staff immediately. Details of your baggage will be taken and you will be offered immediate assistance to purchase essential items. If your baggage has been delayed, arrangements will be made to have it delivered to your local address when it arrives.
In both situations, of either damaged or delayed baggage, liability could be reduced if baggage was presented for check-in unsuitably packed or after the recommended check-in time.
Refer to the Customer Relations section for details should you wish to make a claim.
