You must agree to the following Federal Regulations to complete your check-in online.

A violation can result in five years imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 USD or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives, and radioactive materials.

There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toiletry articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person. For further information, contact a Boutique Air representative.
Transportation of firearms, passenger identification and inspection of checked baggage
Loaded firearms are prohibited in checked baggage. United States federal regulations require each unloaded firearm in checked baggage must be declared to the aircraft operator. For Boutique Air departures from airports with TSA checkpoints, each unloaded firearm in checked baggage must be declared, unloaded, and placed in a locked, hard-sided container to which the passenger retains the key or combination. For Boutique Air departures from areas without TSA checkpoints, each unloaded firearm in checked baggage must be declared, unloaded, and placed in a locked, hard-sided container to which the pilot retains the key. Passengers failing to declare firearms or transporting loaded firearms are subject to substantial civil and criminal penalties under United States law. The transportation of unauthorized explosives or incendiary devices in checked baggage is prohibited at all times. Each passenger who appears to be 18 years of age or older will be required to present a valid form of ID. Passengers must control their baggage to prevent the introduction of dangerous items without their knowledge and should not accept items from unknown individuals. Carry-on items and checked baggage are subject to search. Passengers failing to present identification and/or permit inspection of carry-on items and/or checked baggage may not be transported.
