Baggage allowance
Hi all,
Looking at booking flights for june. Just wondering how those who have already done it went about finding out how to get extra baggage allowance?
And if any airlines had good deals on one way tickets
Cheers Biddy

Re: Baggage allowance
If you look through the forum over the last few days there are several threads about this very subject - should find some answers there

Re: Baggage allowance
And if you have validated your visa then the allowance is about 20kg each case if you fly via Asia (although we were told it's actually up to 25kg at the airport).

Re: Baggage allowance
We fly with Singapore Airlines end of Jan with an unvalidated visa, 40Kgs each. Flight one way is £1100.
I found it quite bizarre that the cost of the taxes for our little'un was nearly 3times as much as the cost of his ticket which was only £37!!!!:curse:

HI Biddy,
Emirates also give the 40KG but you will need to email them in advance.

Re: Baggage allowance
Does goig via USA give you the extra allowance as standard or will I not get that extra allowance either because I will have validated my visa?

Re: Baggage allowance
I've just seen the other threads about baggage allowance with SIA, I'm going on a reccie in Jan to validate my PR visa and didn't realise it meant I wouldnt get the 40kg allowance when I finally go
Does goig via USA give you the extra allowance as standard or will I not get that extra allowance either because I will have validated my visa?

Re: Baggage allowance
We will be traveling on unvalidated visa.
We would have to get connecting flights with other airlines to use Singapore and they only let you travel in a party of 4 when doing this (5 of us)so it looks like Emirates wins.

Re: Baggage allowance
Thanks, Do you have to tell them when booking tickets or sometime before you go?

Re: Baggage allowance
That doesn't make sense - how can they stop 5 people travelling togetherr? Plenty of families of 5 on here. If you have a travel agent that says you can't transfer from connecting flights to SIA because there are 5 of you then I think they need to get some more training!
