Frequently asked questions Frequently

Can I ship a baby stroller?

You can check in a stroller for children up to 4 years old, in accordance with the conditions established by JOY.

 

My luggage didn't arrive on time. What should I do?

Please contact the JOY staff before leaving the airport to report the lost item and begin the search. Keep your boarding pass and check-in receipt.

 

My luggage arrived damaged. What should I do?

Please notify the JOY staff at the airport before you leave so they can document the condition of the item and tell you what to do next.

 

What should I do if I left something on board?

If you left it behind on board our CRJ-200 or in the JOY service areas, you can start the search by filling out our lost and found form.

I bought a carry-on bag—why wasn't I allowed to bring it on board?
