Prijsverlaging Europese bestemmingen
Voor retourvluchten naar nog meer Europese bestemmingen worden de instaptarieven verlaagd naar EUR 99. Daarmee breiden wij het aanbod van Europese bestemmingen voor EUR 99 uit naar ruim 30.

Thught I would share something interesting. Have an upcoming flight to London this weekend, and when I checked my booking today, it is saying I can have 3 pieces check in baggage (!!) 
flying economy with gold. Of course must be something wrong with the system again.
(Nothing edited except name and did not buy any additional baggage)

Just out of curiosity: How does one carry three pieces of luggage (plus hand luggage?) to the airport, through the terminal and so on? Whenever I try to move with only two rollaboard suitcases I get into serious trouble.. :P

That is always a pleasure to watch. I take a train which rides via Amsterdam Centraal to Schiphol every morning, and at A'dam Centraal all the tourists get on on their way home. I'm always surprised by the sheer ineptitude of people to handle their bags, and most surprisingly it's usually those who have the most humongous ones who fail miserably.

When you move from one to another continent and it takes 5-6 weeks for your household shipment to arrive, you take as much as you can on the flight .....

Thats one of the checkin machines at AMS. So the issue is not actually limited to the website. If anybody likes to actually (ab) use this opportunity, try to do check in using the machines and tag the bags yourself. The (non skypriority) area at AMS will allow you to do everything yourself, no questions asked.

lastly when arriving at SFO I declered food stuff I was unsure if I could actually bring or not and there was a family from one of the regions mentioned above (5 people) who had so much luggage with them that the customs officials needed to call in extra employees to help load the xray machine.
I m not going to get into what happened next on the other side of the xray machine but chaos did not even get close in describing what happened...

I just booked an inter EU flight and it shows 2 checked in bags allowance, due to status. Have they reversed the one bag for all rule?
It seems like there will only be one row of EC seats on the flight, AMS-EDI another reversal?
