The rate of baggage allowances for children is governed by the age of the children at the date the journey commences. In case of a round-trip passage, i.e. for the purpose of vacation leave, the journey is regarded as having commenced on the date of departure from liong Kong.

Baggage allowance is only payable to an officer who travels by air, but any officer who travels part way by air may be eligible for a proportionate baggage allowance at the discretion of the account- ant General.

The total amount which may be reimbursed to an officer under this Regulation will not exceed the aggregate of the maximum amounts in respect of six adults, or the number of passages taken, which- ever is the less.
