Baggage Info from American Airlines

The summer box embargo will be lifted by October. This means you CAN take two pieces up to 70 pounds each, free. One of them can be a cardboard box (such as a monitor). An additional piece (the third piece) is now $100 instead of the old $50. If the agent at check-in tries to refuse your box, tell him to search in the computer on "AN Bag" for Curacao and it will tell him that the box is OK.

In addition, you can as usual take a carry-on. It can be a transceiver if you feel strong and brave. Be sure to have your ham license and a power cord to prove to airport security people that it works.

If you're not on American Airlines, please check directly with your airline. These rules vary drastically among airlines, and change with seasons.

This is relevant to all of you who are being kind enough to carry a CCC bag or box with your own stuff. This is a way for us to get a lot of equipment down there for free.
