I sometimes think i'd be better off using the guitar on the golf course. singing on the course?? more effin 'n jeffin!!!

plus have you ever tried to get a chord out of a 5 iron?

I intend to take a suitcase, a large holdall, golf clubs and guitar plus laptopo bag as hand luggage.

anyone know anything about the excess charges, are they strictly enforced? what about the guitar - can i carry that as hand luggage too?

Anyone with any experience of this?

BA gave us a right royal screwing when we moved across. Admittedly we were 33kg over, but â‚¤879 seemed OTT.

For BA, I think its now one suitcase and one golf bag to be checked in. I avoid them at all cost, but don't want to drag my soapbox out.

Emirates have always been fine with us...some friends who visited were well over the limit and nothing was said.

Re: baggage allowance

Emirates are a lot more flexible travelling from this end rather than UK. You definately will not be able to take the guitar on board as hand luggage so its either check it in or leave it behind. Hand luggage sizes are now roughly the size of an average laptop case.
