Discount European Air baggage nightmare
"dougie" schreef in bericht om... I need to go from Rome FCo to Paris. Vloareweb has great deals BUT 15 kg limit total!! WOW! Some deal that. Backpackers only? Any thoughts anyone. Full fare is 5 times the cost but at 7 euros per kg for over, probably worth it. Most people only need 15 kgs if they are moving house or are on a *very* long trip. For normal business or leisure travel, 15 kgs is more than enough. Sjoerd

International flights to/from the USA allow two bags of 32Kg each. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

Especially if you are going somewhere where you may want to bring back some shopping.

Just got home from a 19-day business trip to three Asian countries. My checked luggage was 13 kgs. And yes, I bought some souvenirs to bring back. Sjoerd

Also on a business trip it is much easier to justify the expense of hotel laundry facilities - as one probably doesnt end up paying them, on a leisure trip one tries to keep controllable expenses down.

My guess is 5 or 6 kgs.

In the Asian countries I visited, laundry costs are lower than what it costs me to do my laundry at home. Sjoerd
