Default Suitcase weights at the airport - Going soon

The wife and I are going on holiday for a week today - wohoo. The thing is we both have 20kg luggage allowances and are planning on taking a single case weighing probably 30kg.

I know it sounds obvious that this is fine or is there a limit of 20kg per item. Dont want to get stung at the airport!!!

Cheers

Its OK - Found out anyway - For reference you are allowed to combine but no single case can weigh more than 32KG.

Good job you double checked - my inlaws took a bit too much and BA tried to fleece them £1600 for the excess (about 15kg) from London to Hong Kong!!!

PS they got NO sympathy from any of us either

Just hope you arent flying ryanair....

15kg and no baggage combining allowed. £5 per kilo on top of that. Would serve you right for using such a shi**y company though

Most- as you have found out- are no more than 32kg per item so you should be fine

It's not actually the airlines, the baggage handling staff will refuse to handle any bag over 32kg on health and safety grounds.
