camel day!

[Cheryl & Medo 3]

Grrrrrrrrrrr! I think I woke up cranky. I was looking on the web site for the baggage weight limet and it says 20 kg max

dose any one know what the weight of 20 kg in pounds is? I think my suit cases will be over. Then I look up the extra charge for that 0-5kg=E5per kg Im so confused!!! Has any of you ever flown with Alitalia? And then I found out there is no smoking lounge in Milan/Malpensa airport. So no cigarette for 19 hours. AGHHHHHH!

Hope you all have a good hump day!

hey, 20kg is 44lbs...they will USUALLY allow up to 50lbs per bag...i flew them to Toronto from Lebanon in Dec last year, i can say i REALLY didnt enjoy them at all..but thats my opinion lots of other people have liked there service. anyway i paid 25 dollars extra for my overweight bag and they can only be up to 70lbs or they wont even carry it....since then im pretty sure the sky team has up'd their overweight charge to 50 dollars a bag. hope that helps a little. you are allowed 2 suitcases at 44lbs so if u only have one heavy split it up into two bags. eta i see u say your suit cases so i guess u have 2 bags already, if possible i suggest u fill one bag as much as possible but try not to go over the 65-70lbs so u only have to pay for one extra weight bag.......sometimes they are nice and dont charge, other times they charge for 1kg over......try to get them weighed before u head to the airport, the easiest way is to get a strong guy to step on the scale and then step on the scale again with the bag and take the difference..............

Thanks so much. But I have 2 bags and there stuuffed. Im sure i will be paying a over weight charge for the both of them. Grrrrrr

My suitcases were way over the limits but I pretended that I didn't know and they just let mine go. Try it!

yep sometimes playing derrr helps lol, i tried that with air france in jan which is part of the sky team and thats when i found out they raised the fee to 50 a bag and i ended up paying 100 bucks in overweight fees because there way no way i could switch or stuff anymore into either or bag. sooooo that kinda sucks. goodluck and like i said its best to have an idea before u get to the airport so find a strong guy to weigh them...u can still play derr even if u know how much they are, but if they charge ya at least ull be prepared.

Maybe you'll be lucky and get an upgrade. First and business class allows more weight. I got upgrades both times I went to Egypt. Nothing beats first class when you're stuck in a plane for 7+ hours.

i REALLLLLLLLY want an upgrade in jan when i fly to ny, but not sure how to go about it...im hoping to at least get a bulk head seat but if they dont have any then ill whine a little and hopefully get bumped up.....my hubby's brother in law knows people that work at the airport so maybe he can be there when i check in....we'll see. im just havin issues thinkin of flying 5mths pregnant, plus size anyway and flying in cramped area for 12hrs from jordan to ny. ah well we will see.

Now that's original

I'm not sure how I got so lucky. I didn't ask for either of my upgrades. The first time I was checking in at the Lufthansa counter at DTW and the lady said...YOU'VE got an upgrade! Maybe it was because I was traveling alone and first class had plenty of room. The second time I took my flight from DTW to Chicago, got on the flight from Chicago to Heathrow and the guy next to me told me his wife was in first class but he couldn't get a seat over there. I told him, jokingly, I'll switch with her. He brought his wife over and she asked if I would switch seats with her. Uh yeah I will! So that one was a fluke but boy did I appreciate it.

WOW that is great luck!! it would be soooooo nice to travel in comfort without paying out the butt for the business or first class fare. George has to pay another 550 for my ticket as it is because i was supposed to leave oct 15th but we extended it so there was a 200 penalty and then 350 for ticket price difference, thats better then the total 900 for a new ticket but ouch this ticket was 1600 to begin with. He went yesterday and reserved for me since its a busy time after Christmas, lots of people will be traveling so the chance of an upgrade is slim......so we will go to the airport REAL early since we cant confirm seats until check in...ughh and i reallllllly want bulk head. So im headin out Jan 12th at 745 am local time here and ill be in NY at 4pm EST. not too long from now.....im happy but sad at the same time. I cant wait to spend 6mths with my little man, he is sooooooo excited to be a big brother, i told him on Sat which was his birthday and he told everrrrryone!!

so far it looks like i will be flying to Lebanon in mid-end of july to join George on his vacation and his family will all be there and we will baptise the baby then and from there geo and i will come back to Saudi mid Aug, the ticket price is lookin like 2200 for the full trip, JFK-Beirut-Beirut-Riyadh, so not soo bad especially for the summer, and also the 10% they charge for the baby.

ok i wrote a book lol.

When I got to the counter, both my bags were over the limit and they were going to charge me a fee for each one. I took some stuff out of one of the bags and put it in the other and had only one bag overweight then.

Hump day.....half day tomorrow...off Friday and Monday

don't you ever work?

How are you going to support Claudeth's habit if you are off so much??

[SandyNJack 5]

I have flown British Airways both times I have gone to Alex. I do not think my bags were over limit and if they were they did not say. I have had people both in Alex and LAX ask me what is in both suit cases and I tell them, clothes. They look at me funny and I say well I will/was there for 2+ weeks and I am a girl LOL

I will be going back to Alex in Jan/Feb and it looks like I will have to fly Lufthansa. Has anyone flown them? If so how was it? I really liked British Airways but they do not have any flights to Alex scheduled at the moment.

By the way I sent my monthly email to Cairo and got the follwoing response:

Dear Madam:

Thank you for your e-mail message.

The status of the case is still the same. We will contact you once the administrative processing has been completed to notify you of the next step.
