Four checked bags plus 29 kgs of hand baggage?!?! Plus a stroller?

Some airlines only allow 8kgs for hand baggage. I guess you were probably moving house or something but at that level it would have been more sensible to send the freight home by sea cargo. I'm Star Gold too, and I can't think of many airlines that would tolerate that. Lufthansa is 8 kgs per bag, though Business and First passengers are allowed 2 x 8 kgs. And I suspect they would have charged a great deal more than USD300 to check them in.
