Ladyw Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi All Sorry, I assume this question has been asnwered previously but I cant find it. We are booking our flights to Perth tomorrow (woohoo!), and I want to ensure we get the extra baggage allowance for migration. Does this mean I have to select a certain type of ticket? I am likely to be booking online so I dont want to miss out, but I also dont want to book the wrong ticket as I have too many clothes?! Your advice, as always, would be greatly appreciated!!

StevieF8 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 No, just book it, no sort of 'special ticket' Just ring the airline before hand and ask them, get them so send an email as confirmation to show at check in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Depends with what airline also. Not all of them do migrant fairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Either you can contact IOM - details with your grant, you email them with the dates that you are looking for and they give you options of prices and dates - but might not be the exact dates that you ask for. As you are going to Perth - if you open an account with ANZ you can get 50KG per person with Emirates. Or Singapore Airlines once booked you email them and they will give you 40kg for an unvalidated one way PR visa. You take the print out with you to the airport. http://www.anz.com/unitedkingdom/en/personal/moving-new-zealand/anz-associates/ I would take a few days to get it sorted.

Ladyw Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi All Thanks so much forthe advice. After a few hours of searching we have booked a flight with Singapore airlines and we have sent them an email regarding the extra baggage. Two adults from Manchester to Perth £1200. We have a days stopover in Singapore for some sightseeing, so all in all I think we have done ok!! We now have a countdown date to work to of 15th October, so that is pretty scary!!

bell123321 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I hope you manage to get the extra baggage, however I have heard of some people who have doe a stop over for a few days unable to get the extra baggage as the airline decided that they were going on a "holiday" and needed to be flying straight through. Hopefully not the case for you and I hope you get the extra baggage. Fingers crossed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airline are transferring our bags for us so we dont have to carry them around Singapore!! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
