Hi, my hubby and I have just returned and flew Garuda from Perth. Everyone had stressed us out about how strict Garuda is and hence my hubby stopped me from buying with still 2 days to go until we left. After a few friendly conversations we decided to get the hotel scales and weighed the two suitcases - which were both over the allowance of 20 kilo each case by 5 kilo. After having a great story ready for the Garuda staff not one thing was mentioned and I could have shopped some more after all!! Not happy...Just a quick note - we were one of the first to check in for departure and the plane wasn't full may have had something to do with us not being charged. We have been told that the cost for excess baggage is $15.00Aud per kilo - not 100% sure if this is correct - Good luck, don't stress too much about it and have a great trip...
