How do you get the extra baggage allowance?
We have been granted our permanent residency visa, and plan to fly with sinapore airlines from Heathrow to Perth in April, were planning on booking up the flights this weekend but need to know how you go about getting the extra baggage allowance, if booking on line is there anywhere to add these details, or if booking with a travel agent I assume you need to mention this to them when booking?

Re: How do you get the extra baggage allowance?
Their email address is on their website, I got a reply back from them saying that if you go to check-in with an unused visa stating you can stay in australia indefinitely then you get the extra baggage.
I assume thats no help for me as we are on a 457 temporary :huh: |

Re: How do you get the extra baggage allowance?
Already been given an answer in a similar thread I posted a couple of days ago, but I just realised looking at my visa it says:
'Must not travel after 16may08. Multiple Travel Permitted to stay in Australia Indefinitely' Despite having already been out there on this current visa, when I spoke to someone at Singapore Airlines they said like someone else mentioned in this thread, double allowance is possible on an indefinite stay visa even if it has been previously used...:confused: |

But you will have to grovel and ask nicely, as the standard rule is unusaed (unvalidated) visas. Get it in writing from the airline, don't risk just turning up.
however, that was 10 years ago, so things will have probably changed. |

The easiest most hassle-free way to get more than double baggage allowance is to fly via the USA. Available to all.

Re: How do you get the extra baggage allowance?
We were told by Emirates today that we needed to fax a copy of the visa in passport and booking ref to get extra baggage allowance. Hope this helps.
