Baggage Allowance Singapore airlines
Just thought i would let peolpe know who may not know that the baggage allowance with singapore airlines is 40kg per person if your travelling to Australia for the FIRST time.
E mailed them and they said as long as we have migration visas in our passports they will allow us the extra 20kg.

Darren that is if you have not travelled on the visa before, we validated first and when we fly this time we're only allowed 20kg

We are flying with quantas in July and we are only allowed kg aswell. We did try to go with Singapore but we couldn't get the date we wanted. July flights are booking up really fast, we wanted 19th July but it was either the 15th or 28th. We chose 15th.
Hope they are ok.

Are you still aloud to have the extra baggage allowance if you have a return flight but have the migrant visa ???
Basically were booking the return 1 year later so we can come back for a holiday.

Even when i was on a working holiday visa i was still allowed about 30KG with Singapore! So where does this 20KG come from?

20kg is the usual stated allowance, most airlines let you go up to 27-30, its at the discretion of the check-in staff and a lot depends on the load on that particular flight.......which is one reason why domestic fligths are usually stricter, as they work on close-to
fully-loaded for every flight.
the double allowance is available with other airlines at their discretion, write to them about it. Usually only on an unvalidated permanent visa and on a one-way ticket.
Do a search on the forum, its been discussed to death in the past!!!

You could get SQ to give you a higher allowance. A few phone calls would normally do the trick, although it can get quite frustrating.
I got 40kg after a few phone calls despite having validated earlier and holding a return ticket.
