thewebweazel Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 MMmm not sure but I guess they only offer it for 175 and 176 because I still have hoops to jump through to achieve permanent residency. They said the 30 kilos was a 'goodwill gesture' Millie x "Goodwill" my **** why bother with Singapore Airlines when Emirates gives you 30kg Standard Baggage allowance and they are nearly the cheapest airline to fly with ?

michelleshane Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 "Goodwill" my **** why bother with Singapore Airlines when Emirates gives you 30kg Standard Baggage allowance and they are nearly the cheapest airline to fly with ? My O/H booked with royal bruni for the only reason it was a cheap early booker seat, he got in touch and explained his situation arriving on a 457 they were not interested at all 20kg was there limit and if he goes over they will charge him, no help wot so ever!!!!
