As *G we are allowed 3 pieces each of 32kgs per piece. The PC & rowing machine will consume 4 pieces and with 2 sets of golf clubs we are up to our 6 piece limit under normal *G allowances. But as PPS we can each have 4 pieces for the SQ flights. NZ checkin staff at WRE have said they will honour the SQ allowance
NZ is under no obligation to honour the PPS allowance, so if they do, that would certainly be very nice of them.

Otherwise, excess baggage charges on weight concept routes are, generally, calculated based on the formula of [1 kg of excess baggage = 1-2% of the full OW Y fare]. For WRE-NCE a full OW fare would probably be around 5 000 USD, so a 32kg bag would cost $1600-3200 USD .
