In Reply to: Baggage Allowance...it's a mystery 2 me! posted by Ruby on Saturday, 29. September 2007 at 20:41 Bali Time:
As said below there is a limit of 32Kg per item to allow for safe lifting regardless of free allowance, but also for flights to and from North America a different system of free baggage allowance is used - you are allowed one or two items depending on class of travel and with a maximum free weight of 32Kg. For full details of allowances on Qantas see

and on Garuda see
