No assistance is provided by any airline for taking care of or carrying luggage of a passenger. Baggage is a sensitive matter which the passenger is resposible for. With respect to filling forms, please check that with the airline local office.

Airlines do provide assistance in helping and guiding people at the airport to show them the way about procedures. These can provide you with the required materialistic assistance you need. However, it can not be expected of them to handle or carry the baggage for passengers.
