Hi Everyone!

I am leaving in 2 weeks. And I would like to ask if how can i send my extra baggage (20 Kgs) in a cheap way. I booked my ticket at American airlines and i realized that my first trip from here in Dubai is operated by British Airways and I am only allowed 1 checked baggage allowance. :( Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Well depending on what you have in this luggage you could send it by post but i was sure most airlines have a limit of 23kgs for bags. So you are saying that BA will only allow 1 bag? mmm maybe someone else will advise on travel. I have only travelled Qantas 1st time and then Delta every other time. If you can fly the same airline makes it so much easier as I found out after my 1st trip.

Did they specifically tell you only 1 bag allowance?

Check this site for BA baggage allowances

http://www.britishairways.com/travel/bagchk/public/en_us?topic=freebags

Also, even if only 1 bag is allowed, an extra bag is $60 US at time of check-in or $48 US if you request it online before you get to airport.

Hope this helps.

John
