No Charge

How lucky can u get. Just checked in with about 6 kg excess on each bag (2 weighing in at 31 kg) and NO excess to pay. Flying with BA from Manchester to Heathrow then onwards to HK with Cathay. Hope the rest of the trip goes as well. Sorry if this made anybody green with envy.

Cheers

That's brill - gives me some hope! We're flying with the exact same airlines on Thur and i'm well stressed at how over we'll be ...

I f you're starting off with BA their max baggage allowance is 23 kg. Cathay has a max of 20kg per bag. But because your flight starts with BA you will be allowed thier max baggae allowance and bags will be checked straight through to Adelaide. Now in Hong Kong. Long flight with no sleep (nothing new for me) but kids managed to get some sleep. I would strongly recommend pre booking your seats on line especially a family of 4. You can get the 4 seats together in the middle of the plane. Some families had to do some swapping to sit together. Luckily we had booked all seats on line. Don't take heavy or thick jackets/coats with you. Temp at Hong Kong 35 even warm on the plane. Just extra stuff to carry.
