Ever been left fuming when the cheeky check-in assistant at the airport slaps you with an excess baggage charge? I recently faced the exact situation during my visit to my home town a week back. It is very important to be aware of the aircraft luggage allowances when it comes to flying. Every passenger is allowed to take a certain amount of baggage with them during flying and if the passenger is having an extra weight, he/ she need to pay for that.
Airlines always provide its patrons with assessment on how much baggage one can carry. Every airline is different and so are their baggage allowances. It is always important to keep this thing in mind else you will face the same problem as I did, where I really had to pay a huge amount for my extra baggage of books. It takes nothing more than a little more preparation while packing and planning a trip or vacation.
The Indian revenue department has also specified a list of items along with the size. People planning a trip can go through the list while packing their bags for a hassle free flight to your destination. There are some airlines that use these two concepts in their baggage allowance; the Piece concept and the Weight concept. Certain airline companies operating under the Piece Concept may add additional checked baggage allowance for their elite level fliers.
Unlike the Piece Concept, in which weight limitations are per bag, the Weight Concept permits passengers to merge their bag weight into lesser bags which would otherwise be too weighty to voyage under the Piece Concept. To avoid fees, the passenger has to two choices; either he will toggle his items to the other suitcases to even out the weight of his luggage or the passenger could have his other baggage carry it on.
I have put all the information that one may need in order to plan their trip hassle free. Travel is easier when you know what to expect and plan ahead. So plan well and enjoy your entire trip without disturbance at airport.
