Yes, you get double baggage allowance providing it is a ONE-WAY ticket. I booked my flights through Singapre Airlines in the past couple of days and they told me I could only have the allowance on one-way, if I booked a return they would not give me the extra allowance.

Hiya
We have flights booked through Emeriates and once we had sent them copies of our visa's we were given double allowance. They have re issued our tickets showing the new amount.
I think we will be hard pushed to reach 160K but will give it a good go !!

you can have 40kg but you would have to have 32kg in one case and 8kg in another or 20/20kg.

30kg with Singapore for a tempo visa, 40 kg each for permanent visa, has to be booked one way.
Children get same allowance as long as you have paid for a seat for them.
If they are going on your lap, i think it's 10-15kg only.

Will pack it in 4-5 cases, as there's no way I want to injure myself - or the poor airline staff - lifting it. Just bought super- lightweight trolley style cases, which should help.
