Guest Gough-Ray's Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Myself and husband are due to make the move in May, although thanks to the new 'wanted in oz' programme on the bbc, we change our minds daily about where we are going to go!! Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew of an airline where you can get a higher baggage allowance than the usual 20kgs? Also, while I'm here, I'm sure I've read somewhere about references that you would have to bring with you to enable you to rent. Does anyone know exactly what we would need. We have never rented in the UK so could not bring a landlords ref with us? :shock: Thanks The Rays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kazzy01 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Singapore airlines definitely do it, Qantas and Emirates I think you have to pay for a more expensive ticket to qualify. You will need to send a photocopy of your visa to the travel agents when booking the ticket and you can only get it if you are booking a one way ticket with no stopovers.

Guest Josephine Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi We are leaving in May on Singapore Airlines. They do require a copy of your visa, but if you go through a travel agent, which we did, they take a copy for you. We were allowed 40kgs each ( this only applies if you have a valid permanent visa). We are having a two day stop over in Singapore and that made no difference to the baggage allowance. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest V&G Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hi We are in Perth at the moment trying to sort our rentals - we also never rented in UK & this can be a bit of a problem if you also don't have a job here. You will basically need: Bank or similar professional reference (this is where the ex-landlord comes in) we were also told that a statement from the estate agent who sold the house would help Personal references proof of earnings (we can't do this as no job yet so will probably need to pay 6 months rent up front.) best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Both singapore and Emirates offered an increased baggage allowance of 40kg for both us and the children, providing that we had a visa that had not been previously validated and it was a one way ticket.
