We've booked our validation trip flights with Emirates, but its a return flight. Is it possible to get the double baggage allowance, and if so how would we do it??!

Thanks again x.

We went with Emirates to validate our visa's and lost out on the 40kg's for when we actually emigrated for good. We had to ring them up and try and arrange more than 20kg's that we were allowed. In the end we got 32kg's each.

You must let them know your situation and pre-book your allowance.

I had a small nightmare when changing my 20kgs to 40kgs or speaking to anyone for information. Because I booked my ticket on line, Emirates UK Tours would not speak to me. They did eventually when I went to the airport. They gave me a number to speak to someone in the UK.

Not sure if it will be of any use to you but I got this info:

Hope that helps,

We were overweight at check-in (totally our fault) Emirates wanted £700.00, so just be warned and don't make the same mistake.

hi, my travel agent assured me i had the extra allowance, fortunately i phoned emirates form theit web site & apparently i didnt. i had to get the travel agant to re-confirm this as there was a third party booking company involved. i suggest you phone emirates & ask their advice- over anyone elses- good luck.

We used Emirates for our validation, so have lost out on the extra allowance once we do finally emigrate. I emailed them, their requirements for the extra KG's are : an unused entry visa on a one way flight with no stop over ( no leaving Dubai airport).

When my daughter emigrated I understood that she lost out on the extra baggage allowance as she had a stopover in Dubai. If you fly without a stopover then it seems its OK.

Thanks everyone
