Who can answer this for me?
We were told today when we got quotes for flights that because we had been out and validated our visa's we aren't entitled to extra baggage allowance when we are hoping to fly out next month?
Is this true?
Many Thanks
Jen

most airlines do seem to say this however it's always worth trying, saying you are emigrating and booking a one way flight and you might get away with it emirates and Singapore are usually the best bets for that

Have seen lots of posts like this. It seems that unless you are emigrating and validating for the 1st time you are not entitled.

You're not 'entitled' to anything. I think singapore do it on the validation stage so that you get to see how great their service is, and so recommend them for visiting friends and flights home.

We already did come the year before that to validate our visa, so it can be done, let me know if you want to check with travel agent we went for.

That sounds quite hopefull, but when we got a letter from Singapore to confirm our 40k luggage it say the visa had to be unvalidated.
Good luck, hope you get it sorted.

Just like Asher said if you book one way ticket & with the right airline you can do it, we booked ours through a travel agent & we got them to email singapore airline to get us a letter to say we can have 40 kg for our suitcases.

darn it, I can sort of understand it extra bagge is extra weight etc for the airline to carry but it seems crazy to have to live out of 1 suitcase for about 3 months - anyone else done this and it not been as bad as i'm imaging i'd love to hear from you.

In fact we had more than 40kg each, but because we had the letter, they didnt charge us for the rest.

Jen phone the airline & speak to them, we had letter from them saying we can have 40kg limit we didnt pay any extra, that was with Singapore airline.

We will ask the tour operator we're booking through tho to see if she can twist their arm.

LMAO I know seems funny now after all the will we won't we, we're going oh now we're not.
It'll be hard as hubby will work 3 - 4 days a week. I don't know a soul in Sydney and I feel I belong in Melbourne, but hubby has asked for my support and to give Sydney a chance (however during that time I will be picking up the paper each week !!!!)
I do feel a bit gutted and upset, everyone else now seems to be heading to Melbourne which is the place I want to be.
We book the flights Monday.
