Key policies
Baggage allowance
Baggage allowances are determined by the specific charter contract or military travel orders (AMC flights typically allow two checked bags up to 70 lbs each and one standard carry-on).
Change policy
As a charter and cargo operator, ticket changes, rebooking, and cancellations are managed entirely by the contracting organization, tour operator, or military branch rather than through individual passenger policies.
Check-in
Check-in is conducted at designated airport counters established for the specific charter flight, typically opening 3 to 4 hours prior to departure. Standard online or mobile check-in is generally not applicable.
