Baggage Guidelines- Personal baggage/luggage (from now on called 'baggage') is not checked. The owner carries the FULL risk of his/her contents of his/her baggage. LEX will safely transport passengers and their respective baggage on their scheduled trips. LEX will not open baggage to perform inventory, assign value, judge for condition, check for operatability, determine quantity, or any other attribute of contents of his/her baggage.
- There are two kinds of baggage. Carry-ON and Non-Carry-On. Carry-On baggage never leaves your presence.
- Non-Carry-ON baggage is transported in a storage compartment while you ride in the passenger area of one of the vans, shuttles, or busses.
- Carry-ON baggage is the kind of baggage that will easily fit in a commercial airplane's overhead storage bin -or- would fit under the seat of an airliner. Things of great value (important papers and documents, cameras, notebook computers, financial documents, jewelry, etc) should ALWAYS be part of your Carry-On baggage because you can guard your Carry-On baggage and control access of its contents.
- Carry-ON baggage requires no identification tags or markers of any kind because you will keep them with yourself all the time while LEX is serving you.
- Non-Carry-On baggage is normally too bulky for the scheduled seat space. Non-Carry-On baggage is larger than Carry-On's in weight and size. Non-Carry-On baggage is unable to be contained to your lap for the scheduled trip with LEX.
- Non-Carry-On baggage is stored separate from you, temporarily, and should follow these guidelines: There should be no items of GREAT VALUE contained inside your Non-Carry-On baggage which cannot sustain loading/unloading handling damage, (i.e., other larger, heavier baggage stored on top of your baggage during the scheduled trip) or lost baggage as a result of lack of identification or markings in accordance with these baggage guidelines.
- Non-Carry-On baggage should have pertinent identification information (luggage tag or maybe a laminated business card) that easily identifies it as your baggage. LEX requires this identification tag located on the handle of your baggage.
- Non-Carry-On baggage ... (for efficiency of baggage retrieval) ... should also have additional identifying marks upon them. For example ... brightly colored scarves, neckties, nylon straps, bandannas, bungee chords, multi-colored duct or electricians tape, etc, etc, etc. ... anything that will allow you (or someone in your party) to easily spot and pick your baggage out of a large group of baggage that may all look alike. Anything you can do to make your baggage unique in appearance so that your black, navy blue, green, red, or other similarly colored (or designed) baggage will look different than the others.. is ENCOURAGED GREATLY.
- If Non-Carry-On baggage does not have identifying luggage tags and/or marks, YOU risk the likleyhood of someone else mistaking your baggage for theirs while they are picking up their baggage. Any baggage of yours mistaken for other passengers baggage neither makes your scheduled ride with us quick, efficient, or pleasant because the end of the time with us is marred by events that is easily avoided with a little planning.
- LEX shares limited responsibility for properly identified and marked baggage in accordance with these baggage guidelines.
- LEX shall not be responsible for unclaimed luggage exceeding 45 days.
