Question extra baggage

Hi all,

We've booked to fly out to NZ via Hong Kong & I don't think they allow extra baggage for passengers who are emigrating...am I correct in saying this?

Hi,

We are booking with AirNZ if you go via LA you get extra baggage allowance. (If you go via HK with them you dont)

Well that's just poo!

O well, I'm not complaining too much 'cos at least we got a good deal on the flight, ie price, 4 seats together, direct flight....can't have everything can I? Although it would be nice

Thanks anyway Karen...when are you going?

Yes that is correct, we too are flying AirNZ via Hong Kong and I checked with them, you are only allowed 20kg each and 7 kg hand luggage.

We packed our bags before we sent our container and we packed as if we were going on a 8 day holiday and no more. We are without our 'house' for 10 weeks, we are in week 3, but not too bad, just washing alot of clothes.

All the best, When are you flying?

We're flying on 14th Feb (with AirNZ)

We were originally planning on taking airbeds & allsorts to last us till our container arrives! Looks like we're gonna have to condense it down a bit & add even more to the container...gonna end up leaving something...like you did with the settee!

When do you fly?

Well there's no point in me ringing and begging then is there! I'm going to be starting my new job 10 days after we arrive and have no idea how to get a work wardrobe and normal wardrobe into one suitcase for 6 weeks. Looks like hubby is having one pair of shorts and a Tshirt in his case

15th March to Christchurch, I will be the one with the red puffy eyes and a soggy hankie, because our flight isn't until 9pm, we will have a few hours to say goodbye to family, but i would rather get up and go.

Who did you book your flights with? We are trying to sort ours out just now and are waiting on airnz calling us back as we are trying to use a promotional code(obtained from another forum ) to see how much we can save.

Hi Phyl,

I booked our flights with Air NZ online...I used the promo code mov**** & basically just kept checking the prices every 10mins or so. They do change...every now & then...they drop the price on one particular departure date, then 20 mins later they put the price back up again!

We're going on the 14th Feb...the price was £2600(ish) to begin with...I kept looking, then it suddenly dropped to £2051...this is for 2 adults & 2 kids! That's when we booked it...20 mins later, it went back up to £2855!!

You have to be really vigilant, but you CAN get a bargain!!

Good luck, Cheryl x

I think i struck lucky with timing and promo code from move2 website. Think the codes only valid til 31st Jan thougth. Someone told me Quantas have got good deals from May onwards.

Caz/Cheryl

Can I ask if the prices dropped at a certain time of the day? I am thinking that if they open for business NZ time then maybe the prices change then or does it make any difference? Just a thought. Have a window open on the mac and checking it every 10 mins or so at the mo £2607 to HCH then £182 to Dunedin for 2 adults 2 children. Watch this space

Wonder why you get double allowance via LA but nowhere else. Does not seem fair to those of us who want to avoid USA like the plague

Hi Phyl,

We first noticed the price drop at 10pm, but it was at about 2pm when we booked them...so I suppose it can be any time of day that they feel like!
