Just got back from Bali yesterday. I am in Perth and both ways travelled with Garuda. Hand luggage is 7 kilos per person and they did weigh it which included my handbag. I was nearly one kilo over in hand luggage but they did not charge any extra
**** BE VERY CAREFUL WITH EXCESS BAGGAGE AND GET YOUR AIRLINE TO PUT SOMETHING IN WRITING ABOUT THE EXCESS CHARGES BEFORE YOU LEAVE TO GO TO BALI.
We asked about prices for excess luggage before leaving Perth and we were advised by Garuda that first 10 kilos of excess would cost $10 per kilo.
When we left Bali, we did have excess and Garuda in Bali wanted to charge us $7.50 US Dollars per kilo for excess.
We jumped up and down and refused to pay. After speaking to a supervisor at airport in Bali for Garuda, they didn't charge us any excess at all.
