Hi all,
ive got a flight AUS-SYD via LAX. Same PNR. American and qantas call centres have quoted the prices from here and said we only have to pay the qantas charge (Pre Paid Additional Baggage | Qantas), however the sentence here:
"It is not available for flights operated by another carrier (such as codeshare or interline flights) or if you are connecting to/from a flight operated by another airline within 24 hours of your Qantas operated flight. The additional baggage rates of the operating airline applies in these instances"
makes me concerned that a) they won't accept our excess bags, or b) we'll have to pay AA fees for AUS-LAX and QFF fees SYD-LAX.
also- is there a limit to the number of excess bags you're allowed? The excess baggage charges appear cheaper than sending USPS so we're looking at bringing back 5+ bags of excess. I'm thinking we'll be allowed 5 excess bags max each plus the 2 allowed as normal baggage (based on point 3 here - Additional Baggage Terms and Conditions | Qantas)
Ps There is no option in manage my booking to pre-purchase the additional luggage that is mentioned in the above link.
ill be gold by the time of the flight if it makes a difference.
Any advice from those that have previously done something similar would be excellent
cheers
