However, is it possible to pay for a 3rd checked luggage? EK website does not state that it is not possible but there is no mention of excess luggage in the "piece concept". So is it just 2 no matter what or can I pay for an additional one?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I do not have my ticket yet so I cannot have a look at the "manage my booking" section of the website.
I believe so, yes. I once accompanied a friend to EK check-in in CPT (flights originating in Africa also have the piece concept) and they were overweight. The check-in agent said they could pay for an extra bag, I think it was $70 or so. As far as excess luggage charges go this isn't a bad deal if you get a full 32kg additionally.
