Guest Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 On an unvalidated permanent visa you can with some airlines. Singapore airlines offer 40kg on that visa type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Email them to clarify with your visa type/number etc and if they ok it then take a copy of the letter with you to check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie101 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I got extra baggage allowance with Emirates and a "significant" reduction in cost of airfare as I booked through IOM. I'll try to find the link if you would find it useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petkula73 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Depends how much you are taking really. If it's just a few extra kilos then take it as carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizOz Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I emailed Singapore Airlines and they replied with the below; Kindly note, if you hold an unused/unstamped/not validated migrant visa that specifically states that you arepermittedto remain in Australia indefinitely / permanently, you will then be entitled to the double baggage allowance (40 kilos, per passenger). The double baggage allowance will only be granted when you check in at the airport when this visa is sighted and checked that it has also not been travelled on before, this has to be the first time it is being used. You can have as many items of checked luggage as you wish provided: The total combined weight of all the items put together does not exceed your total checked allowances No single item of baggage exceeds 32 kilos in weight, as a health and safety requirement If you are not holding the correct visa mentioned above at check-in, then you will be entitled to the standard free checked baggage allowance of 20 kilos per passenger. For reference, for flights between the United Kingdom and Perth, the excess baggage charge is SGD 80.00 per kilo which is approximately GBP 40.00 per kilo. Please note excess baggage is charged at check in on your day of departure using the applicable currency exchange rates for that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
