luggage allowance with virgin

[rainy]

We are flying with virgin and i knew we are allowed 2 pieces of luggage upto 32kg each but does that also apply to a child seat ?

[PaulT]

Yep if you have paid for the seat you get the allowance. Two cases per passenger. Adult and Child, only the under two's without a seat do not get the full whack

[rainy]

thanks pault :)

I would check up on that, on our return from orlando, we booked in 4 pieces of luggage at dtd, one was over, and we were told we could have 4 pieces each, make sure all baggage is under 30kgs a piece, thet are strict about this.

[PaulaK]

It's 2 x pieces of luggage and neither must exceed 32 kilos. Upper Class are allowed 3 x 32 kilos.

If your bags are overweight you will have to empty them. Been there done that with my dirty laundry all over the airport! :blush:

[rainy]

I have checked their site and it says you are allowed 2 pieces each not weighing more than 32kg each

[Melfuzz]

Lol poor you Paula!!!

I guess there is no way to check until you get there!

[rainy]

so are we allowed to distribute the extra kilos between other peoples cases in our party.

The worst thing anyone can buy is one of those trolley bags that keeps unzipping to reveal another compartment. By the time i'd finished filling it, it was 4' high and weighed 38 kilos :whistle:

One of mine was 33 kilos outbound last year and I had to repack it on the floor at Manchester airport. :blush: They are very keen on the weight limits because the baggage handlers aren't allowed to pick them up. We've now learned to take lightweight holdalls and bring back all 8 pieces that we are allowed (family of 4) if need be rather than less pieces, more weight! :D

Just in case anyone wants to exceed their allowance, Virgin charge $115 per piece for excess baggage. I know a guy that brought a ride-on lawnmower back in suitcases once! :eek: :rotfl:

We travelled with BA and my friends 5yr old was allowed the same allowance as us.

[Whitequeen]

Is that 2 cases as well as hand luggage?

[Dawn]

Yes. :D

And a buggy/pushchair is carried free of charge should you wish to take one. :thumbs:

Make sure you use a suitcase this is not heavy when empty
