Check in box as luggage?

[lailah]

We would like to take a box of goodies with us on the flight. Can this be used as one of our check in luggages? And what do I need to do to do this? Any help? We're leaving in the morning. Thanks!

Yes, you can check a box (both on the plane and at Bell Services). You don't need to do anything special, they'll just keep all of your stuff together. We always show up with grocery bags or boxes filled with stuff we'll need for the week that didn't end up in our luggage. It is no problem.

Thank you. What special information needs to go on the box for the plane?

Yes, you can. BUT, they will not take any responsibility for the contents. In other words if your granola bars all end up looking like they were steamrolled, that's your risk.

Also you must securely TAPE the box. No masking tape, no duct tape. True packing tape. And NO STRING or twine!

Thanks guys so much! I sealed all edges with packing tape and put my name and address on the top. I think we're ready to roll!!!!!
