Can you buy excess weight for luggage online?
Hi,
I will be traveling from Bangkok via London to Lima, Peru next week and I have a question about the LATAM domestic flights in Peru.
I am traveling business class from BKK and LGW but there is no business class for my flight from LIM to CUZ and all my tickets were purchased separately through the different respective airlines - all One World.
Now from BKK - LHR I will have 60kg checked luggage allowance, travel class + frequent flier perks - no problem.
From LGW - LIM will have 2 bags allowance at 32kg each - no problem.
From LIM - CUZ I am given 1 bag at not more than 23kg - big problem.
Since I could not buy all the tickets together or through one airline, how do I go about getting or buying more luggage allowance for the LIM - CUZ and return sector?
I have talked to the Bangkok base LATAM staff and they said there's a $47 charge per extra luggage not exceeding 23 kg. However, after checking on the LATAM website it seems that the excess charge will be calculated on a per kilo basis.
I am very confused so is there a way to buy the extra weight through the LATAM web site?
Appreciate your help and thank you in advance!
