Hi,

Many airlines do so.. However, to prevent abuses many airlines require that the local, regional or national chapter of the IRC make these arrangements directly with the airline versus having/allowing the individual travel show up at the airport and try to negotiate it.

This way there is a consistent policy applied to all who travel under similar circumstances, and the IRC/ICRC can then better plan for what will be their baggage allowance and what, if any, surcharges will be applied.
