Have you checked in a lot of luggage recently?
If so I'd like to know where you were going to/from and how much it cost you. What airline you flew would be helpful, too.
I'm trying to figure out what sounds reasonable. TIA.

Three free bags, what sorcery is this?!
I'm finding luggage policies split into to/from USA and to/from everywhere else on the damn planet.
Shockingly, to/from USA seems to be 1000000x more reasonable, rational and affordable.
Our wedding on Wilson Island!
You should check out luggage policies to Brazil! That place gets crazy free luggage!
I've checked a ridiculous amount lately, because of FF status. I get 3 bags total (2 up to 70 lbs and 1 up to 50 lbs), and you can be sure that I use it when I'm coming back from the good ol' Unlimited Shopping of America.
Will the company cover excess luggage? That's always been a reimbursable expense in my relocation deals. If not, I think you'll probably have to check the pricing for each of the options. They're generally pretty similar, but just glancing at a few - OMG Singapore Airlines is stingy with the baggage allowance!
Oh, no no no. 3 free bags for 3 tickets - 1 free bag each. Sorry, I should have clarified. And then we got a 4th bag for free for our lap child, but we were allowed less weight for that one.
Even Delta Diamond (the highest), and business, only gets 2 free bags between the US and Europe and US and Australia.
Ha, the stuff I'm seeing (that I'm envious of) says USA/Canada/Brazil. Lucky bastards.
We've got some money to throw around, but I'd rather not use every last dime of that on insane luggage charges.
I know and they're our top candidate.
Good luck!
On a recent flight from Frankfurt to Abuja I entered the gate behind a man who had checked 99 pieces of luggage. I have no idea what he was doing or why he didn't ship them. But you will at least come out ahead of him!
By my rough estimate calculation that would cost $50,000. I exaggerate not.
o_O
Would you believe me if I told you he was flying coach?
I still can't wrap my mind around what is so valuable that it must travel in 99 pieces by plane yet not valuable/contraband-like enough to deal with increased scrutiny by airport security, the airline and most of all customs at Abuja intl airport!
