How much luggage can I bring on a Qantas dash 8 flight connecting to an international flight?

[Damianesam]

So the first leg of my flight is on a dash 8 (1x 22kg) and I connect to an international flight (30kg). So normally the baggage allowance on my international flight would apply to the domestic one but on the qantas website it says that dash 8’s are an exception. I’m planning to bring 2 pieces weighing 15kg each which should be fine for the international flight, will I be ok for the dash 8 flight?

The above is good news as I will be connecting to International PE with a 2 bag allowance.
Is there a length limit on the Dash8. I will be taking skis and in the past had a problem with the small Virgin plane as they had a 1.8m limit.

Looks like total dimensions of each piece must not exceed 140cm (55in):

Limit is 2.77m on Q400. 2.4m on 200/300.

Having seen a lot of ski bags come off the Dash 8 flights in Canberra during the winter, I don't think you'll have an issue.

How about Ldh-Syd- Lax? Does international luggage allowance apply to the Dash 8 flight from Ldh?

Am sweating slightly, I realise I am on a Dash 8 MEL - LST after QF10 LHR - MEL. Separate ticket, 6 days later. We will have 3 checked bags between 2 of us. I am OWE but that means FA on Dash 8 services I understand. The Qantas website offers me the ability to buy an extra bag, which I have done, but the credit card charge doesn't go through and I don't get an email receipt. What are our chances of getting the third bag with us or must it follow later?

S

It probably depends a little on the departure airport,the check in agent and your status. Flying from Tasmania domestically with my BA gold in the booking I regularly had 2 x 20KG bags without any problem but once from Geraldton had a problem but fortunately another locum was going to spend a weekend in Perth so he checked in the second bag for me. But again this was an all domestic flight. You shouldn't have a problem.

Sent you a PM

You shouldn't have an issue. I've transferred from an international flight onto a Dash8 many a time, on the SYD-CBR leg, and vice versa. As a WP, I got my two bag allowance.

Will Qantas take bike bags on their Dash 8's?

Absolutely…I have done it many times.
