In Reply to: help with excess luggage posted by meags on Friday, 8. June 2007 at 22:50 Bali Time:
on the way home from bali with Jetstar. We flew into Sydney and they were then going on to Brisbane.
When we rechecked our luggage in Sydney for the domestic leg, and our flights were operated by Qantas even though booked all as Jetstar, they did not get charged again.
Plus, you should have seen what they had as carry on. They bought a dozen donuts from whatever the shop is that everyone raves about. A painting, plus a piece of hand luggage each. My friend had her handbag and there was another bag of duty free.
Amazingly not a word was said. The Qantas flight attendant assisted them with stowing it all away and they took up 3 overhead bays. Very lucky I think. Maybe it depends on who you get on the day.
Good luck and as suggested you can pre-pay for excess. Jet Star gave me a phone number you can call from Bali to organize payment prior to leaving and you will be charge the lesser rate which I think is $12 per kg. The phone number is : 61 3 83414901. If you should do this I would ask them to email you confirmation of the payment so you can print it off and show at the airport.
cheers :-)
