Sorry no, what I meant is that there is x amount of kilos allowed on the plane and when it is full some passengers may be over a kilo or so with carry on. If I have several kilos in my allotment, I would like to “gift” that extra kilo or two to them. The plane still has the same weight restriction, but I can help another passenger out. I do not check their bag or have anything to do with it other than freeing up some of my allocated weight.
I think you'll find the airlines won't allow it, simply because you are reducing their opportunity to charge someone else for excess luggage. Although in these days the allowances are pretty generous and most people are within the limits. If you want to spread the love of Plat, you can guest them into the lounge.
If you are QF WP. At a minimum you will be checking in using the business class lane with passengerswho already have good luggage allowance.
+1, more times than not people will be immensely grateful for the invite.
There is no such ‘thing’ as you describe.
Yes though this FF and his family maxed out of 5J plus 1 WP luggage allowance of almost half a tonne checked luggage one time. I think the carry on would have been nearly 100kg as well.
. Ah the days when U fares were not rare as hens teeth
Or do what this FF did to carry 5 people and over half a tonne of luggage - get a Chevy Suburban
Me too! Although my limit is lower than yours, but still very generous. Still we always manage to use it all when travelling to visit Seat Son who lives overseas.The airlines work on the theory that frequent flyers rarely travel with their full allowance. In fact most rarely bother to check anything at all. It costs them nothing but is a great perk for you. Anything to facilitate being used would cost them, in fuel at least if not lost revenue opportunity.
I’m one of the few who has an 8 x32kg bag limit who is still sweating at checkin to make sure it’s ok
Did that early last month for a random passenger who was on the Qantas SYD T1>T3 transit bus with me. She'd just arrived off QF8 that had been delayed by some 12-13 hours (due to severe electrical storms at DFW) and had subsequently been bumped off her regional connection. She was tired and stressed and all she wanted was a chance to grab a drink, something to eat and have a shower. I had a brief opportunity to stop in at the Dom J Lounge so guested her in. I departed on my onward journey, feeling like I'd done my good deed for the day.
