RE: Visiting Chile - Manecojets 2013 - CACH
And now some pics with info... Tavelling in a international flight with a jet case wich is not a BVM case is not impossible, althought labourious. TAM airlines requirements is that total luggage weight cannot be over 45 Kg, and everything about 23 Kg you wil pay aproximately Us$ 10 for each extra kilogram. The case´s sum of lenght,width and height dimentions can´t exceed 293cm. You can´t transport Li-Pos in yout plane, and all other batteries should not be inside the airplane and all contacts should be isolated. Also a multi language declaration with your name, address, etc. explaining that you comply with this requirements is needed.
For pure chance, my box was also small enough for going thru the X-Ray machine so it wasn´t opened. The fact that it is transpartent and airport officers watched the Roo also helped a lot to explain my intentions in the foreign country..
We arrived to Santiago at about 9:00 pm and again the full moon reflecting it´s light to the snow covered Andes where amazing to watch..
