Lou8670 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 You get 30kg each plus cabin case 7kg plus handbag/ laptop without having to top up your baggage allowance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 As far as I'm aware, Emirates don't offer a migrant baggage allowance, they do have 30kg as standard however? Singapore airlines, Qantas and Cathay pacific offer a migrant baggage upgrade is you've a a permanent resident unvalidated visa. Emirates do have a promotion with ANZ (http://www.anz.com/unitedkingdom/en/personal/moving-new-zealand/anz-associates/) where is you open a bank account with ANZ before you move, then you can book with emirates and get up to 45kg, but I guess if you've already booked, then that option won't be available to you. No harm in emailing Emirates and asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 As said above, its 30kg hold and 7kg carry-on. I used www.sendmybag.com to send the remainder of my stuff. Was only 135 quid for a 20kg bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judilc Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Nope they don't. I rang them today as our flights have just been booked for Thursday (yikes!) and they don't offer an increase. Just 30kg plus 7kg hand luggage. They don't automatically give children a childrens meal either in case you have kids, need to ring and request one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 We're looking to book our tickets now for next August. Singapore are a lot cheaper than Emirates, do you know how much extra they give you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi Flatpack, As long as you can prove you have unvalidated PR visas Singapore will give you double (40kg). They don't advertise it so once you've booked you need to email them with your booking reference. They'll ask for a copy of the visa grant and they'll confirm the allowance by email. You need to take a copy of their email plus your grant letter with you when you check in. N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkiwd Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 we got a quote from IMO the other day, they gave us a price of £650 pp with 40 kilo luggage per person and thats from london with Malaysia airlines, I believe their standard baggage is 30 kilo anyway. didnt book though as I can get a flight from edinburgh-london-KL-perth for just under £600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KazG Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 We're looking to book our tickets now for next August. Singapore are a lot cheaper than Emirates, do you know how much extra they give you? We recently booked with Singapore and requested extra baggage allowance as we had an un-validated visa. We were told that the allowance to Australia has increased to 30kg and that was doubled so we have 60kg each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Ooh I wonder If they're doing that on all flights or just ones booked since the change. Will have to ask them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkiwd Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) wow that would be 240 kilo for a family 4, that would be interesting fitting it in a taxi and moving it around the airport though:eek: Edited November 5, 2013 by nikkiwd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At £600 each they are the cheapest I can find and with that baggage allowance I might not need a move cube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatpack Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 where are you flying from flatpack? we are dying to book flights too but trying to decide on exact date to go... Flying from Manchester, we will have a stop in Munich but it's still only 22hrs in total. Exact date is inconsequential to us, we have a 3 week window and as far as I'm concerned the sooner the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at the website and it still shows Economy standard allowance as 20kg with Business being 30kg? Did they say when the change was effective?

We have booked with Singapore for December, family of 4 on 457. It still says 20kg on the website but we have 30kg printed on our tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KazG Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 We are in economy, we booked thinking it was 20kg because of the site info but then was told that certain destinations were increased. We emailed to enquire about double allowance but didn't get a reply so my OH phoned the UK reservation number and all was sorted very quickly. We had to send our booking details and a copy of the PR visa. This was done 3 weeks after we booked the tickets. Its worth giving them a call.

Nikkis2000 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Yeah I'm definitely going to give it a try 60kg each would be brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 THANK YOU KAZG! (AND PERTH POMS FOR BEING SUCH A FAB SITE!!) :biggrin: Singapore Airlines have confirmed that the baggage allowance is changing to 30kg for travel on or after 15th November 2013. Therefore any double allowance increase to 60kg!! Without the information sharing that goes on on here I wouldn't be aware of this and would've turned up with my 40kg (and probably been a bit hacked off when I found out I could've had more!) So Thank You!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Went to book the flights on Saturday but the guy we see was off watching the Rugby. It's not too important that we book now but something we'd like to get out of the way. Whilst we were in the Travel Agents the conversation got to baggage allowances. If we can take 60kgs and each bag cannot weigh more than 25 kilos, that's 3 suitcases each. How the hell am I going to put 9 suitcases on a trolley in the airport? We won't be able to use 2 trolleys as we have a toddler who'll need her mums 100% attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essex3 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hi Can I please ask how you got double baggage allowance ?. Singapore have advised me that we only get 30kg (15 Nov changes) each, but no mention of double. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
