I'm hoping we will always find ourselves in the position that we have 3 x 32kg each; I'll really be trying to avoid taking more than that as getting all those bags in and out of the airport would be enough of a challenge! I honestly was asking as I was interested and I didn't expect Qantas would be able to collect monies for BA....

Especially if it is just a holiday
We moved here earlier in the year but bought way too much stuff on the boat. Just taking some back as it's easier to store in the UK than here and we'll be back living in the UK in a few years.

Hit a bit of a problem with this. I've bought the extra online and it shows fine in MYB but no sign of any email receipt. When I go into MYB and ask it to resend the tax invoice I get this message:

"An error has occurred while trying to resend the tax invoice for the additional baggage booked with your flights"

Our QF flights were booked as Avios redemptions so maybe that is the issue but what can I do if Qantas won't send me the receipt they say I need!?
