In Reply to: Luck charitable excess from PacificBlue? posted by Kiwi Carol on Tuesday, 25. August 2009 at 19:25 Bali Time:
We operate a registered charity for kids in Bali and our experience in June was that Virgin operate slightly different to most airlines, where they agree to sponsor charities to take gear up to Bali. We had to put in a formal sponsorship application and even though we did it last minute, they were so generous. Thank you Virgin!
Dont know if perhaps this system means they dont do so much individual excess baggage? It's possible I suppose.
Going thru check-in can be a bit up to the individual person on the counter as to what leniency they might give you..with any airline.
