Baggage Allowance???

[Guest jimdundee]

Hi

We have our flights booked for October 3rd. When booking we didnt have the option of extra baggage, the allowance for BA is only 23kgs. Iv read post saying that if you are a permanent resident then on your 1st trip you can get an allowance of upto 40kgs. Has anybody ever done this? If so how did you go about it?

Thanks

We flew with Singapore Airlines 2 days ago!!!! All we did was email them and they confirmed the extended baggage allowance - mind you still had to send some on with another company as had too much

We booked through a independant agent and she just confirmed the 40kg that you are allowed on a PR Visa. Not sure if this is the same for all Visa types. Not sure what it will be like at the airport when we get there.

I phoned singapore airlines today and they said if you have a 1 way ticket, and an un validated visa which states on it Staying in Australia indefinately you can have double luggage 40kg.
