Carrying excess baggage? Here is what you need to know

What happens to my excess baggage?

Unaccompanied baggage will travel on another flight or different airline. Certain companies specialise in sending excess baggage to different destinations. It is generally best to send excess baggage in advance, unless you don’t mind it arriving after you do.

Excess baggage is often considered to be a cargo item. Some cargo companies also offer storage services. Many will give four days free service and then charge based on the weight of the baggage.

You will be required to send certain documents when sending excess baggage as unaccompanied baggage. This covers handling and services like the x–ray and customs clearance, which should also be included in the price. You can find competitive rates and the company in question will ensure that your excess baggage reaches your destination safely and as soon as possible.
