ATTENTION! The carrier can refuse to accept the checked luggage if it is not packaged in such a way as to guarantee safe carriage with ordinary diligent handling. PLL LOT recommends an accurate labelling of baggage with a tag/address label. The carrier shall not be responsible for any breakable and perishable items transported in the luggage as well as for the money, jewellery and other valuable objects, documents, trade samples, etc. The transport of such items shall be at the sole risk and responsibility of the passenger.
