Airlines with an emigrating allowance?
Was debating putting this on expats.SE, but it's more about the travel part, so here goes.
A friend is emigrating with their family and they have heard some airlines have an 'emigration allowance' - ie more bags / weight.
However, neither they nor I can find a definitive list of airlines supporting this.
Any such list out there?
If it helps, they're flying from the UK to New Zealand.
Best Answer
I have never heard of such an allowance on all flights from a given airline. However, while I don't remember the specifics, I did hear about some specific routes where extra luggage was allowed in some cases (and Tom mentioned another one in a comment). Consequently, rather than a list of airlines, it might be useful to scour the net for forum posts, using the departure and destination and “emigration” or “luggage” as keywords.
