These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern the provision of services by:
CityAirLink

CityAirLink provides scheduled, capacity-limited luggage transport services between designated operational locations, including but not limited to hotels and airport-related drop-off or collection points, within the territory of the Republic of Poland.
CityAirLink is the contractual party responsible for the performance of the Service.
By placing a booking through the CityAirLink website or application, the Customer enters into a legally binding contract with CityAirLink and agrees to be bound by these Terms.
1.2 Nature of the Service
CityAirLink provides a date-specific, capacity-limited luggage transport service.

CityAirLink does not provide:
- long-term luggage storage services,
- warehousing services,
- passenger transport,
- insurance services beyond those expressly stated in these Terms.
Any temporary holding of luggage necessary for operational purposes is strictly incidental to the transport service and does not constitute a storage agreement.
1.3 Scheduled and Capacity-Limited Service
All Services are performed on a specific Service Date selected by the Customer at the time of booking.
CityAirLink operates with limited daily transport capacity per route and direction.
Each confirmed booking secures a fixed Operational Slot within the daily capacity allocation for the selected Service Date and route.
Operational capacity is strictly limited. Once capacity for a given Service Date and route has been fully allocated, no additional bookings may be accepted.
The Company reserves the right to refuse bookings where operational capacity has been reached or where performance of the Service would be operationally impossible.
1.4 Booking and Contract Formation
A contract between the Customer and CityAirLink is concluded only when:
- the Customer completes the booking process,
- full payment has been successfully processed, and

The Customer is solely responsible for:

Failure to comply with required time windows or cut-off times may result in:
- classification as a No-Show,
- non-performance of the Service,

Operational cut-off times are established to ensure reliable route planning, allocation of operational resources, and guaranteed same-day execution within the declared operational framework.

The Company does not provide door-to-door courier services unless explicitly stated during booking.
