hardtochase Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I just spoke to Malaysia Airlines and learnt the astronomical cost of paying excess baggage, so going overweight is NOT an option! My shipping boxes arrived this morning. And now looking at my room and my case and all my belongings, I have sinking feeling! How on earth am I going to fit all in?? I have been downsizing for ages but still seem to have so much stuff. I know I'm just having a momentary panic, so could do with some reassurance that it will ~all be ok~!! Packing seems like a mammoth task I would rather avoid for the time being!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 You can air freight excess baggage easy enough. Check Seven Seas site for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachaelm0 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi Check out http://www.deliveryquotecompare.com/ air freight. I belive it's pretty reasonable and very quick. Do you have to go with Malaysia Airlines? If you book through IOM it's so much cheaper as they have SLAs with airlines like Emirates. For 4 of us- 3 seats and 1 baby with extra baggage and able to take 2 buggies, two car seats, travel cot etc on the plane it came to £1800!

hardtochase Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 My new employer booked my flight so I had no say. Thanks for the info re airfreight though, think this might be the way to go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 If you have an unactivated PR visa, alot of airlines offer double baggage allowance, or at least alot more than the standard allowance, might be worth looking in to. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 if you open a bank account with ANZ prior to booking flights, the ANZ give you a code to use for 50kg each when flying with Emirates, thats an extra 20kg on top of the normal allowance. You need to send copies to emirates of passports and visa and they forward you an email back. Simple and well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boganbear Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We managed to emigrate with the usual 20kg each without any problems. Just came with some clothes and bought everything brand new when we got here. I've still got some crockery and other stuff waiting at my dad's to be shipped over and we've been here nearly 4 years!

LKC Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We used Seven Seas to air freight some things over. The price was good and they only took six days to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
