Danny842003 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 So this is purely hypothetical but I was looking at excess baggage costs on Etihad about £500 give or take for an extra 10Kg. Now in theory could just buy a second ticket £526 have two seats on the flight and the 30Kg baggage allowance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure you could pay for an extra seat as larger people are often asked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flybyknight Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 check with the airline, for info qantas call them comfort seats. you should pay less for it, as the airline will not be serving food, or indeed paying taxes for it. i love the idea, and will be doing it next time i go to the uk. for 2 of us, only slightly more than premium, more room between us and extra baggage too, winner!

Danny842003 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 As I said I'm not going to do it. Was just an idea as £500 for 10kg seems crazy when the flight was only 526 with 30kg included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo 52 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi Danny, When I was coming back from Oz I had a 30kg of weight of my bags and I was flying with them. They wanted to charge a stupid amount in the end I flew my stuff with DHL express and it cost me around $250 to $300 and it was a Door to Door sevice if you could not make it to the office. It took 2days to get to UK, but I flew a drill back but went with pack and send try them might be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceddy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I flew over recently with Singapore Airlines, they gave me an extra 10kg baggage allowance as visa was unused. I had to post over 28kg of items in 2 boxes, only cost £140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because the rule is that if a passenger doesn't occupy his seat, his luggage has to be removed from the hold. Although I can see what you're trying to do, I suspect the bureaucrats would be too inflexible to allow you to "break " the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know obese people have to buy two seats sometimes, but i did guess it would be some daft rule and I hadn't just worked out a way to beat the system lol.
