Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone knows how strict China Southern is at enforcing their dimensions for checked bags in the hold as my suitcase seems to exceed the 158cm total for all dimensions by about 5cm. I am flying from Melbourne to New Delhi.
Sweet talk the check-in lady. We've had luggage a few cms and kgs greater before and they were like "yeah no worries" if you talk to them politely and respectfully. Weight limits are more strict, don't go over more than 1-1.5kg for checked baggage. They don't really check size.
Thanks mate, I won't go over weigt, it's just the size (5cm).
they were like "yeah no worries"
was you experience with China Southern or different airline ??
China Southern
Cheers
What are you checking in? Skis? Golf clubs? Surf board? Human?
Best you call them up to see if they accept over-sized luggage (some airlines have like a separate counter for that). Because the airline does have the right to reject your luggage if it does not meet the requirements. That will be disastrous at the airport.
