Check-in:

We recommend that you arrive at the airport to check in at a minimum of two hours prior to your scheduled time of departure. Check-in closes forty five (45) minutes before departure. LIAT reserves the right to cancel the reservations of any passenger who does not check-in at least forty five minutes (45) prior to the scheduled or posted departure time of the flight.

It is the passenger's responsibility when making bookings to allow adequate time for baggage collection and rechecking if connecting to another carrier. We recommend at least 150 minutes between international connecting flights.

Passengers who have checked-in for a flight and have received a boarding pass must present themselves at the departure gate and be ready to board their flight no later than fifteen (15) minutes prior to departure. Passengers not in the boarding area by this specified time prior to scheduled departure are subject to seat cancellation.

Documentation

Traveling on the LIAT network is considered International travel. All customers are required to present proof of identity such as a valid government issued photo ID and proof of citizenship such as a passport at the LIAT check-in counter. Passengers must keep proper documentation on their person during travel. It is the passenger’s responsibility to ensure that they have in their possession the correct documents needed for travel to any destination. Passengers must also be in possession of a copy of their itinerary as proof of their onward or return journey.

Baggage:

Please see our baggage acceptance policy.

Security Tips

Please be aware that both your checked baggage and carry-on baggage may be subjected to security screening. There are some items which are prohibited in carry on baggage and some items which are prohibited in checked baggage. Generally you are prohibited from carrying dangerous goods, restricted items such as flammable liquids, compressed gases, corrosive, magnetised or radioactive materials, toxic and infectious substances and sharp or other dangerous objects which could be used as weapons aboard the aircraft.

To avoid delays during the passenger screening process, we recommend that you place items such as jewellery, keys, cell phones etc. in your carry on baggage and not on your person. Pack appropriately to avoid inconvenience and delays at security check points.

Children/Minors

One child over seven days old and under twenty-four months of age not occupying a seat is carried at a fee of USD10.00 when included in the booking of the accompanying adult passenger.

Accompanying children ages 2 to 11 will be charged the applicable child fare for the flight.
