netorius77 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 We intend to return to Australia after being away for 6 years, and take all our stuff back in a container. As anyone who has done this before knows, the 23kg allowance per person for checked baggage plus about 10kg for cabin does not give you much for getting going for 8 weeks. I have heard that some airlines have a provision for extra baggage allowance for people migrating (although strictly speaking we are not migrating - just returning with Australian Passports). Can anyone shed any light in this or offer good proposals/strategies to get the critical excess baggage over at a reasonable cost - maybe airfreight unaccompanied?

ChrisH Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think you have to book a one way emigration ticket with the airline to get the additional baggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPanda Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I haven't used them, but people have said good things about u-bag. Yes, the airlines allow the immigration baggage with one-way tickets, as far as I know. That's what Qantas gave us through IOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
