On
VB...Costs $12 to buy a 23kg baggage allowance before arrival at the airport. A baggage allowance purchased at checkin will cost $40. You will be happy to know if the bag is taken from pax after boarding it has a purple tag attached and it costs $40 and a trip to baggage blues to pay for and collect the bag upon arrival thus adding inconvenience and hopefully a lesson not to do it again.
During
VB's recent Casa audit oversize cabin baggage was raised as a concern so all staff have been instructed to make an extra effort in reducing this before boarding.
You should all spare a thought for the baggage handlers... the maximum weight for a single checked bag is 32kgs which is an international standard. Try lifting this on your knees with your neck bent and "passing" it for 3 meters!!! And then doing it 100 times more in the space of a 30 minute turnaround!
