Bag Size - Part 2

Hello again.
Ed Pavloff was kind enough to point out that as I gave a minimum size, I
neglected to give a maximum size.

Air Pacific limits us there, here is their info:
Piece Allowance - 2 pieces with total dimensions of the 2 pieces not
exceeding 270cm (106in) and no 1 piece exceeding 158cm (62in) (Total
dimensions are measured by adding together the height, width and depth of
the bag.) Weight Allowance - 23kg per piece

Again, we are limited to ***ONE*** piece of checked baggage per person
because we have to fit them all on the bus.
So, the one piece limit of 62 in. applies.

Take my WSJ bag: 30x12x18 = 60 inches. That means you can't get much bigger
than that.
If your bag incurs an oversize surcharge, we will expect you to pay that
surcharge before we board the plane.

Weight allowance of 23kg is just over 50 pounds.
Since you have to lug that monster, I view that limitation as self limiting
:-)
My bag, fully packed, was about 32 pounds.

Your carryon is limited to 39 inches (say 18x12x9) and 7kg (just over 15
pounds).

Cheers!
