Re: excess baggage info
 
I flew over with Malaysian last Sep. I was allowed through with just under 25kg no dramas. Before I flew, I phoned up to ask what the excess baggage charge was. It was 40 something pounds per kilo!! I went to the airport with the impression of, if they try and charge me any extra, I'm taking stuff out and wearing it or giving it to parents who saw me off to post over.

We flew to Brisbane last August and were 37kg over. Singapore Airlines tried charging us £31 per kilo excess.:frown:
We ended up flying the excess with the Excess Baggage company at Terminal 3 Heathrow. They charged us £245 total including insurance. It took 4 days to get there.
We ended up coming back home at the end of November. This time we only had 20kg allowance each. But we had 170kg:eek: (Yes, you read that right!!!) excess baggage this time. We flew it back with Jetta Express (who Excess Baggage uses in Oz), for a total of £465. Great price for so much extra baggage.

Definitely check first though, before you take the hearsay evidence of a random internet poster as gospel...

I fly out on thursday with my family with singapre airlines. Rang them up to ask about allowance and was told although the limit is 20Kg they would allow 25Kg so we have a 185Kg limit. We are also allowed to take a pram and a stroller seperate from our allowance. With regards to cabin baggage I have flown to Oz twice this year from terminal 4 and no one weighed it. Both times it was about 10Kg.
