We did Air NZ and had 64kg each when we emigrated, we had great flights and did:
London Heathrow - Los Angeles
LA - Auckland and then Auckland to Brissie.
We actually still had 2 extra bags OVER the allowance but they charged per BAG and not per kilo so it cost us 150 UK pounds per bag. Small price to pay when emigrating. I`ll give our check in girl her dues, she realised we were emigrating and tried to waive the charge but some jobsworth said NO!
