Common use of Carriage on Cape Air Flights and Connections Clause in Contracts

Carriage on Cape Air Flights and Connections. Checked and Gate-Checked baggage will generally be carried on the same aircraft as the Customer unless such carriage is deemed impractical by Cape Air. This impracticability includes baggage which exceeds total compartment or weight parameters for the aircraft when taking into account all Passengers on board. In this event, Cape Air will determine in its sole discretion which baggage will be carried on board with the Customer and arrangements will be made to transport the surplus baggage on the next flight or section on which space is available. Cabin baggage space is relatively limited on regional aircraft, like those operated by Cape Air. Customers connecting onto a Cape Air flight with large “carry-on” bags typical for those permitted on board larger aircraft are encouraged to check these bags, when possible, at the ticket counter of the carrier of the originating location. Customers who arrive at a Cape Air gate with bags that exceed the parameters for Personal Items must check these bags at the gate prior to boarding the flight. Furthermore, operations, security directives or other safety considerations may limit the allowable Personal Items on a specific flight. Cape Air reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine the suitability and place of storage for any items to be carried in the aircraft. Cape Air may refuse to transport any baggage that the Customer refuses to submit for inspection.
