VIAMILANO SERVICE CONDITIONS The free ViaMilano service, offered by SEA Aeroporti di Milano, provides use of facilities during a stopover at Milan Malpensa Airport. In particular, with ViaMilano it is possible to: - leave baggage with airport staff at the ViaMilano desk; - use the fast track gates free of charge so as to reduce waiting times at security checks; - receive a voucher for 10 euros to spend at Malpensa Airport against a minimum purchase of 40 euros. The ViaMilano service is meant for all passengers with two separate air tickets, also with different airlines, landing and take off at/from Malpensa (for a destination other than the city of origin) within 24 hours of arrival, for which no provision has been made for direct transit management by the carriers involved. Please read carefully the following conditions and terms of use of Fast Track services, baggage handling and the 10 euro voucher: Baggage handling service regulation BAGGAGE LIABILITY SEA, as part of the ViaMilano service, offers passengers baggage handling and transfer to the carrier, also between different Malpensa terminals, free of charge (the Service ). Passengers wishing to use the Service acknowledge and agree that the latter is subject to the same air transport rules of contract applied to carriers. This regulation summarizes below the baggage rules applied to European Community air transport carriers in accordance with Community legislation and the Montreal Convention, recalled as contractually agreed to regulate the Service. Passengers hereby acknowledge that SEA shall in no way be liable for baggage handling and transfer by carriers, even within the scope of the Service. SEA shall only be liable for damage to baggage during the Service and due to the fault of the same. Destruction, loss or damage to baggage due to the Service Liability in the event of destruction, loss or damage to baggage is up to 1131 DSP, approximately 1,200.00 (twelve hundred/00) euros. Baggage complaints In case of damage, delay, loss or destruction of baggage due to the Service, passengers must file a written complaint at the earliest. Should baggage be damaged due to the Service, passengers must file a written complaint within seven days and, in case of delay, within twenty one days of the date on which the baggage is placed at the disposal of the passenger. Basis of information The rules described above, which are conventionally applied to regulate the Service, are based on the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, implemented by (EC) Regulation No. 2027/97, as amended by (EC) Regulation No. 889/2002 and by the national legislation of Member States. Baggage tag Passengers wishing to use the Service shall sign the terms of use of the same at the time of handing in baggage at the ViaMilano counter. Passengers will be given a receipt acknowledging
consignment of baggage which must be submitted by passengers themselves to the airline check-in desk. Passengers also take responsibility for notifying the airline check-in desk that they have used the Service. OBJECTS OF VALUE The limits of liability for loss or damage to baggage due to the Service do not cover damage to valuable, fragile or perishable objects. Passengers wishing to extend these limits must deliver their baggage directly to the airline counters. MAXIMUM BAGGAGE WEIGHT ALLOWED Passengers acknowledge that airline baggage allowance policies must be complied with. The maximum weight for each piece of checked passenger baggage may vary depending on the airline. APPLICABILITY The Service applies exclusively to ViaMilano passengers. A ViaMilano passenger is defined as a passenger with two separate air tickets, also with different airlines, with landing and take off at/from Malpensa (for which the city of origin of the flight to Malpensa IS NOT the city of destination of the flight from Malpensa) within 24 (twenty four) hours of arrival (for departures from Terminal 2 only within the same day), for which no provision has been made for direct transit management by the carriers involved. Nevertheless it is possible that not all carriers may take part in the service and some restrictions may apply; hence, the passengers should check the availability of the service at ViaMilano desks. PASSENGER/BAGGAGE ACCEPTANCE AND BOARDING The time limit for providing the Service and ensuring transfer between Milan Malpensa Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 is 100 (one hundred) minutes. In case of transit within the same terminal the time limit is 90 (ninety) minutes. Passengers, therefore, must comply with the different time limits, considering that presenting themselves at the counter well in advance ensures optimal execution of the necessary formalities.
