Do I need my Conf# at check-in, or just ID?
Since I didn't book it, I don't have the Conf#
I am also a bit concerned with their baggage policy.
If I understand it correctly, I can have a regular rollaway bag, filled with lead, and as long as I can lift it into the overhead, no problem. Is this correct?
I'm also only allowed one checked bag, not to exceed 20kg (44lbs), correct?
What I don't understand is their "sporting goods" extra baggage rules...if I have sporting goods, I'd be allowed to check an additional "bag" with a passenger limit of 50kg, correct?
Who or how do they define sporting goods?
The reason I am curious/concerned is because I am going from BFS for/with motorcycle racers and they have to carry all their protective gear, which can be heavy. Can or would they consider this "sporting goods?" The website isn't very clear and I d not hold a lot of hope in getting a reply from their online email.
I tried to call the int'l phone number on their website, but that is an expensive endless circle of prompts and menus with no chance to get to a human.
Anyone have any knowledge on these issues?
Two of us traveling, they made me fit the carry on into one of those wire baskets, didnt fit, so I removed a couple of items in the outside pocket and crammed it in. We had 3 checked items, one was 58lbs, one 45lbs, one 48 lbs, no problem and no additional charges. Cant say it will happen to others, but the check in experience was good. They dont open the check in process until 90 minutes befor departure.
