The biggest problem is the Ensure vitamin milkshakes for seniors which weigh a ton. The last time I went I filled a suitcase with them and barely could carry it. Unfortunately, we both work, so we cannot visit often. Because of this, we try to bring as much as possible of the things that one cannot purchase over there.
One Lufthansa operator told me that if you have Gold status on any allied carrier, that you are allowed to bring one extra bag (32kg) at no extra charge. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, what is the fastest way to attain status?
Thank you everyone for the excellent suggestions! I will post as soon as I figure out what we will do.
