Pregnant passengers are advised to consult with a doctor regarding the safety of air travel, taking into account factors such as potential turbulence, cabin pressurization, significantly increased risk of deep vein thrombosis associated with pregnancy, and the lack of ready access to medical care while at the airport or during the flight. Once again, Citilink requires passengers in this category to obtain a medical examination from her physician shortly before flying to confirm that air travel will be safe. It is the duty of pregnant passengers to advise our staff about the progress of their pregnancy at the time of seat booking and at the check-in counter. Pregnant passengers must comply with Citilink’s conditions of carriage as follows:
- Expectant mother is allowed to travel by air up to the end of their 32 weeks without any restriction as long as there are no complications.

This may take additional time, so we highly recommend passengers arrive earlier than the recommended time. Citilink is not responsible for any losses if the passenger cannot be transported due to delays caused by this activity, or if the passenger is not recommended to fly by the Airport Health Office authorities.
- Citilink highly recommends that pregnant passengers check their physical condition beforehand to prevent incidents like mentioned in point number 4 above. If the passenger feels unfit to travel as scheduled on the ticket, we are glad to provide a reschedule policy, as long as it is done with prior notification in accordance with the schedule change policy stated in these conditions of carriage (see section 1.6).

For baggage that exceeds the specified weight limits, additional fees will apply according to the rates stated in the Fee Schedule and as set out in the Carrier’s Regulations. There is no baggage allowance for infants who do not occupy a seat, although strollers will be transported free of charge. Passengers are not permitted to use another passenger’s unused checked baggage unless traveling on the same itinerary. Passengers booking on the same itinerary as those not traveling may not transfer the unused checked baggage weight to those traveling on the same itinerary. For health and safety reasons, the Carrier will not accept any individual item exceeding 32 kg per piece. This weight limitation does not apply to mobility equipment. Sports equipment may be transported in the aircraft’s cargo hold after payment of the applicable fee as outlined in the Fee Schedule and at the passenger’s own risk. Therefore, passengers are advised to purchase necessary insurance for such items. Musical instruments exceeding cabin baggage dimensions (while still within the baggage allowance) may be carried into the cabin if a seat for the musical instrument has been purchased and the corresponding travel fee has been paid. - The fee applies to all checked baggage. Citilink Indonesia allows up to five checked items per paying passenger (restrictions may apply for certain destinations and at specific times of the year).
- Checked Baggage Size and Weight Restrictions:

- Baggage will only be registered to:
- The passenger’s final destination or to the passenger’s next stopover airport.
- Citilink will refuse to transport or may offload at any airport baggage that the passenger refuses to check in. Citilink may refuse to transport the passenger’s baggage on any flight other than the flight carrying the passenger.
- Delayed, Damaged, or Lost Baggage
- For domestic flights, if the passenger’s baggage is delayed, lost, or damaged, please report to the Citilink baggage service officer at the airport area. Citilink will not process reports of baggage damage or loss once the baggage has left the arrival terminal area.
- For international flights:

- In the case of delayed or lost baggage, a report must be submitted no later than 21 (twenty-one) days from the date the baggage should have been available to the passenger.
NOTE: Regardless of location, passengers traveling with a reservation associated with limited liability release must report damaged baggage directly to the Passenger Service Agent at the airport.
Reasonable efforts will be made to deliver delayed baggage within 24 hours of the flight’s arrival. Once the passenger’s items are found, they will be returned to the passenger as soon as possible. Baggage delayed due to the passenger’s late check-in, change of destination after check-in, or standby status will be delivered at the passenger’s expense.
- Delayed Baggage – Reimbursable Expenses
Citilink Indonesia provides compensation for temporary expenses for passengers whose baggage is delayed. The baggage delay is accommodated by providing a daily allowance of Rp. 200,000 per day, with a maximum of 3 (three) days.
All original receipts must be provided for reimbursement; copies will not be accepted. Citilink Indonesia reserves the right to request that items purchased due to delayed baggage be returned before compensation is provided. The items purchased are considered replacements for the items in the delayed baggage. Any reimbursement is considered an advance and will be deducted from the final settlement in the rare event that the baggage is deemed lost.
- Delayed Baggage – In Excess of Fourteen (14) Days
If the baggage reported by the passenger has not been found and returned within fourteen (14) days, the passenger will receive compensation for the lost baggage in accordance with applicable regulations. The passenger must submit a claim to Baggage Service. To submit a claim, the passenger needs to complete the online claim form. This online claim form is separate from the delayed baggage report submitted at the airport. Additional information and details provided by the passenger in this form will assist the Central Baggage in more advanced tracking and increase the chances of successfully locating the passenger’s baggage. For more information on how to submit a claim, see section 7.4.10.
- Filing A Baggage Claim
- Compensation provided for cases of damaged checked baggage: We will repair or replace the baggage according to its type, shape, size, and brand.

Claims and all required documents must be received within thirty (30) days from the date of arrival unless applicable law or agreement provides a longer period.
Passengers are strongly advised not to include valuable or fragile items in Checked Baggage. If such items are checked in as baggage, the passenger agrees that these items are checked in at their own risk. Passengers must inform us that they intend to check in such items and present them to us during check-in. Upon inspection of these items, we may refuse to accept them as Checked Baggage.
If, despite being prohibited, any items mentioned in section 7.2.5 or any other items that may be considered valuable or fragile are included in the passenger’s Checked Baggage, we will not be liable for any loss or damage to such items above the limit specified by the applicable law in the passenger’s contract of carriage. We may require the passenger to purchase insurance for fragile and/or valuable items. Fragile/perishable items will only be accepted if the Citilink agent is informed of such items, and a release form has been signed, exempting Citilink from liability for damage, loss, or decay, or delay in delivery leading to damage, loss, or decay of such items. Failure to inform Citilink of fragile/perishable items in the baggage may result in the denial of any claim for loss or damage. Citilink will refuse to accept property for transport that is not properly packed to withstand normal handling, whose size, weight, or nature makes it unsuitable for transport, or which cannot be accommodated without inconvenience or harm to other passengers. Fragile and perishable items will be accepted if the tubes, containers, or boxes are designed to ship the items and are packed in leak-proof containers or protective materials approved by the airline.
NOTE: Plastic bags or foam containers are not accepted for frozen food or other items that may leak during transport.
Perishable items include fresh or frozen seafood and other food products.

For safety and security reasons, we may request passengers to undergo an inspection, X-ray scanning, or other types of scans on the passenger or their baggage. We reserve the right to inspect a passenger’s baggage without the passenger being present if the passenger is unavailable, to determine whether the passenger possesses or whether their baggage contains items described in Section 7.2 above. If the passenger refuses to comply with such inspections or scans, we have the right to deny the transport of the passenger and their baggage without refund and without any further liability to the passenger. We are not responsible for any damage caused by inspections, X-ray scans, or other scans, unless such damage is caused by our fault or negligence. In accordance with safety regulations, passengers are advised not to accept packages from unknown individuals.
-
Passengers must collect their baggage as soon as it becomes available at the destination or stopover.
- Checked baggage that is not collected within three (3) months from the time it becomes available to the passenger may be considered abandoned by the passenger, and we reserve the right to dispose of the baggage without any liability to the passenger.
For perishable goods, the maximum storage period is three (3) days. However, if the items emit an unpleasant odor or leak, we reserve the right to dispose of them earlier. - Only the holder of the baggage tag provided to the passenger at the time of baggage check-in is entitled to receive the delivery of the baggage. If someone claiming the baggage is unable to show the baggage tag, we will only deliver the baggage to that person on the condition that they have proven their right to the baggage, and if required by us, they must provide adequate assurance to indemnify us for any loss, damage, or cost we may incur as a result of the delivery.

For acceptance as cabin baggage, items must adhere to the size limits outlined in section 7.3.

>160 | >32.000 | PROHIBITED |
Note:
- 100 Wh = 20,000 mAh; 160 Wh = 32,000 mAh; assuming the voltage is 5V.
- If the battery voltage of the power bank is other than 5V, calculate the watt-hour capacity using the following formula: Watt-hour (Wh) = Voltage (V) x Milliampere-hour (mAh) ÷ 1000.
- The watt-hour capacity must be the primary reference in determining whether the power bank can be carried or not.
7.15.1 Checked Baggage
- If baggage is not received upon arrival or is found to be damaged, the passenger must immediately report it to the Baggage Service office in the arrival area before leaving the airport (applicable to both domestic and international flights).
- The report that will be followed up must be completed with the baggage tag number, identification card, and boarding pass.
- As proof of the report, the Baggage Service staff will issue a Property Irregularity Report (PIR).
- The Property Irregularity Report (PIR) is created based on the name of the baggage owner (if the baggage is not received upon arrival or found to be damaged) and cannot be done collectively.

8. Schedule Changes, Delayed and Canceled Flights
The passenger’s flight schedule refers to the schedule indicated on the passenger’s flight ticket. We promise to make our best efforts to transport passengers and their baggage with reasonable care and to adhere to the published schedules applicable on the date of travel. While we make every effort to comply with the published schedules on the travel date, we do not guarantee that the passenger’s flight will depart and arrive at the times specified in the schedules or itineraries. The times shown on schedules, itineraries, or elsewhere are not part of the passenger agreement with us. In any case, we are not liable for any errors or inaccuracies in itineraries or schedule publications or statements made by our employees, agents, or representatives regarding the departure or arrival times or concerning any flight operations. We reserve the right to change flight schedules if, in our reasonable judgment, such changes are justified due to circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to bad weather, traffic control delays, or security or operational reasons as provided under applicable law. We are also relieved from any liability for compensation to passengers for flight schedule changes caused by weather or operational technical reasons.
At any time after the booking is made, we may change our schedule and/or cancel, terminate, divert, delay, reschedule, or suspend any flight if, in our reasonable judgment, such actions are justified due to circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to bad weather, air traffic control delays, or security or operational reasons. In such circumstances, we will refund the travel costs paid by the passenger.
When a passenger has a confirmed reservation on a Citilink flight that is delayed due to schedule irregularity (including but not limited to missed connections, flight cancellations, omitted scheduled stops, equipment substitutions, or schedule changes), Citilink will rebook the passenger on the first available Citilink flight to the passenger’s original destination at no additional cost. Our staff will rebook the passenger on an alternative Citilink flight, either directly to the destination or via another airport to accommodate the passenger’s needs, without any additional charge. The passenger may opt for a refund in accordance with section 10.2.3. Citilink will not compensate for flights booked by the passenger on other airlines.
Flight delays are calculated based on the time difference between the scheduled departure or arrival time and the actual departure or arrival time, which is when the aircraft block off departs from the parking area (apron) or when the aircraft block on parks at the destination airport apron. Such circumstances may include force majeure events, such as weather conditions, natural disasters, airport closures or non-functioning runways, strikes, riots, civil unrest, embargoes, wars, hostilities, disturbances, or unstable international relations, whether real, threatened, or reported, or due to delays, requests, conditions, circumstances, or requirements directly or indirectly related to these facts. This also applies to any facts that cannot be anticipated, predicted, or foreseen, applicable laws, and shortages of labor, fuel, or facilities, or labor issues involving us or any third parties.
- For Domestic Flights: If Citilink experiences a flight delay caused by airline management factors (except for delays due to airport operational issues, weather conditions, and/or other factors such as force majeure), Citilink is responsible for providing Delay Compensation to passengers as regulated by Indonesian Minister of Transportation Regulation No. 89 of 2015 (“PM89/2015”) on Delay Management, as follows:
- Category 1, delay of 30 minutes to 60 minutes: compensation in the form of a light snack.
- Category 2, delay of 61 minutes to 120 minutes: compensation in the form of a light meal and a beverage. Passengers have the option, upon request, for a ticket refund or to be rerouted to the next available flight.
- Category 3, delay of 121 minutes to 180 minutes: compensation in the form of a full meal and a beverage. Passengers have the option, upon request, for a ticket refund or to be rerouted to the next available flight.
- Category 4, delay of 181 minutes to 240 minutes: compensation in the form of a beverage, a light snack, and a full meal. Passengers have the option, upon request, for a ticket refund or to be rerouted to the next available flight.
- Category 5, delay of more than 24 hours: compensation of IDR 300,000 (three hundred thousand rupiah). Passengers have the option, upon request, for a ticket refund or to be rerouted to the next available flight.
- Category 6, flight cancellation: passengers have the option, upon request, for a ticket refund or to be rerouted to the next available flight.
- For International Flights: If Citilink experiences a flight delay caused by airline management factors (except for force majeure), Citilink is subject to the Warsaw Convention & Montreal Convention.
- In the event of a delay of more than 6 hours and the passenger requires accommodation, Citilink will provide accommodation for the passenger.
Citilink Indonesia’s Contingency Plan for Lengthy Tarmac Delays includes the following:
8.5.1 For Domestic Flights
Citilink Indonesia will not permit the aircraft to remain on the tarmac for more than three (3) hours before allowing passengers to deplane upon arrival, or before the pilot begins to taxi the aircraft to an appropriate landing point (in areas controlled by Citilink), or before a request for permission to return to an appropriate landing point is submitted to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the control tower, airport authorities, or other relevant authorities responsible for aircraft operations on the runway (in areas not controlled by Citilink) for departure flights, unless:
- The pilot-in-command determines that deplaning passengers at an appropriate disembarkation point would jeopardize the safety or security of the passengers, or there is a safety or security-related reason (e.g., weather, direction from the relevant government authority, etc.) why the aircraft cannot leave its position on the runway to deplane passengers; or
- Air Traffic Control informs the pilot-in-command that returning to the gate or another disembarkation point elsewhere to deplane passengers would significantly disrupt airport operations.
8.5.2 For International Flights
For flights departing from or arriving at an airport, Citilink Indonesia will not allow the aircraft to remain on the tarmac for more than four (4) hours before allowing passengers to deplane for arrival flights, or before the pilot begins to maneuver the aircraft to an appropriate disembarkation point (in areas controlled by Citilink), or before a request for permission to return to an appropriate disembarkation point is submitted to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the control tower, airport authorities, or other relevant authorities directing the aircraft’s operations on the runway (in areas not controlled by Citilink) for departure flights, unless:
- The pilot-in-command determines that deplaning passengers at an appropriate disembarkation point would jeopardize the safety or security of the passengers, or there is a safety or security-related reason (e.g., weather, direction from the relevant government authority, etc.) why the aircraft cannot leave its position on the runway to deplane passengers; or
- Air Traffic Control informs the pilot-in-command that returning to the gate or another disembarkation point elsewhere to deplane passengers would significantly disrupt airport operations.
8.5.3 For all flights covered by these provisions, Citilink Indonesia will do the following:
- Ensure that restroom facilities are functional, the cabin temperature is comfortable, and adequate medical attention is available if needed, while the aircraft is on the runway.
- Ensure that passengers on the delayed flights will receive notification regarding the status of the delay when the tarmac delay exceeds 30 minutes for the flight.
- Ensure that passengers on delayed flights receive timely notifications whenever an opportunity to deplane becomes available at all suitable disembarkation points for all departure and rerouted flights.
8.5.4 Resources
Citilink Indonesia has adequate resources to implement these provisions.
8.5.5 Implementation
The implementation of Citilink Indonesia’s services has been coordinated with:
- Airport authorities (including terminal facility operators, if applicable) at each major hub airport, medium hub airport, small hub airport, and non-hub airports served by the airline, as well as its regular emergency destination airports, which will share facilities and provide gates at the airport in emergency situations.
- Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at each major hub airport, medium hub airport, small hub airport, and non-hub airports routinely used for the airline’s international flights, including emergency destination airports; and
- Aviation Security at each major hub airport, medium hub airport, small hub airport, and non-hub airports served by the airline, including emergency destination airports.
- Handling Agents (ground handling, passenger service handling, etc.) at each airport served by the airline, including emergency landing airport options.
9. Denied Boarding
When Citilink is unable to provide a seat that was previously confirmed due to overbooking, Citilink will take action regarding passengers who are denied boarding, either voluntarily or involuntarily, in accordance with the Ministry of Transportation regulations as specified below:
If a flight is overbooked (more passengers with confirmed reservations than available seats), no passenger may be denied boarding involuntarily until the airline staff first asks for volunteers willing to give up their reservation voluntarily in exchange for compensation selected by Citilink.
If a flight is overbooked and there are not enough volunteers, other passengers may be denied boarding involuntarily in accordance with the following provisions:
- Except for Unaccompanied Minors and Passengers with Disabilities, the last passengers to check in may be denied boarding in cases of overbooking, load balancing, or aircraft capacity reduction due to seats being unavailable for operational or safety reasons.
- If a passenger is to be denied boarding involuntarily (after volunteers have been sought), they will be selected based on their check-in time. In other words, the last passenger to check in for the flight will be the first passenger to be removed from the flight. Citilink reserves the right to modify the prioritization method in accordance with Ministerial Regulation No. 30 of 2021.
No compensation for denied boarding will be provided if:
- The denied boarding is caused by the substitution of the aircraft with a smaller capacity. Passengers will be denied boarding based on the following criteria:
- The booking time if the flight duration is outside of 3 hours before the originally scheduled departure time; or
- The check-in time if the flight is under the airport’s control within 3 hours before the originally scheduled departure time.
- Passengers will be provided accommodation on flights scheduled to arrive within one (1) hour of the original arrival time.
- Passengers have not fully complied with the airline’s booking or check-in deadlines, or passengers are not accepted for transport in accordance with the airline’s general rules and practices.
- Compensation for Denied Boarding
If a passenger is denied the seat they booked with Citilink, the passenger may be entitled to monetary compensation. In cases of overbooking, Citilink will provide information explaining the airline’s obligations and the passenger’s rights in cases of overbooked flights, in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Transportation. - Volunteers and Boarding Priorities
If a flight is overbooked (more passengers with confirmed reservations than available seats), no passenger may be denied boarding involuntarily until the airline staff first requests volunteers willing to give up their reservation in exchange for compensation selected by the airline. If there are not enough volunteers, other passengers may be denied boarding involuntarily according to Citilink Indonesia’s boarding priority, as follows: - Compensation for Involuntary Denied Boarding
If a passenger is denied boarding involuntarily, the passenger is entitled to receive “denied boarding compensation” from the airline, unless:
- The passenger has not fully complied with the airline’s ticket booking requirements, check-in process, or re-confirmation procedures, or the passenger is not accepted for transport in accordance with the airline’s rules; or
- The passenger is denied boarding because the flight is canceled; or
- The passenger is denied boarding because the replacement aircraft has a smaller capacity due to safety or operational reasons; or
- The passenger is offered accommodation in a different section of the aircraft than indicated on their ticket, at no additional cost (a passenger seated in a section with a lower fare must be provided with the appropriate refund); or
- Citilink may place the passenger on another flight scheduled to arrive at the next stop or the passenger’s final destination within one hour of the originally scheduled arrival time of the passenger’s original flight.
- Amount of Denied Boarding Compensation
Domestic Transportation
Passengers traveling domestically who are involuntarily denied boarding due to overbooking are entitled to compensation from the airline. The airline will provide compensation in the form of:
- Rebooking on another flight at no additional cost; and/or
- Provision of meals, accommodation, and transportation costs if no other flights are available to the destination.
International Transportation
Passengers traveling from the Republic of Indonesia to an international destination who are involuntarily denied boarding due to overbooking on a flight departing from an Indonesian airport will receive compensation in accordance with the provisions of the Montreal Convention. This compensation may release Citilink Indonesia from further liability to the passenger for its inability to honor the confirmed reservation.
Alternative Transportation refers to air transportation with a confirmed reservation at no additional cost (by a scheduled airline licensed by the Ministry of Transportation), or other transportation accepted and used by the passenger in the case of denied boarding.
Unless otherwise specified below, the airline must provide payment to any passenger eligible for involuntary denied boarding compensation in the form of cash or a check in the amount specified above, on the day and at the location where the involuntary denied boarding occurs. If the airline arranges alternative transportation for the convenience of the passenger departing before the payment can be made, the payment will be sent to the passenger within 24 hours. The airline may offer free or discounted transportation as a substitute for the involuntary denied boarding compensation. In such cases, the airline must disclose any material restrictions on the use of the free or discounted transportation before the passenger decides whether to accept the transportation as a substitute for the involuntary denied boarding compensation. The passenger may choose to still receive the involuntary denied boarding compensation or decline all forms of compensation.
10. Refunds: No Show Cancellations
Refunds are made in reference to the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation Regulation PM 30 of 2021, Article 7, as follows:
