Help on baggage allowance ... Flying with Emirates

Very dumb question.... We have 30kg each to fly with Emirates for baggage and 7.5 with cabin bags. For the baggage can it be more than 1 bag just as long as the combines isn't over 30.,,. Thanks...

It was on Singapore - 3 of us spread it over 4 cases. The only thing is that each case will weigh a bit (we have lightweight ones) so bear that in mind :-)

any combination of bags up to 30kg per person, typically you don't want your checkin big singles to weigh more than 23kg each (baggage handlers don't like it and neither will you at the destination). You should not lose more than 2-3kg per large case and 1kg with smaller hand held rollers

This gives you the info. Note to total combined dimensions.
