Davejb Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Good luck getting that on as hand luggage, you might need to hire a Dakota to do a drop in a field near you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav352 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I hope when Norrie starts to sweat when he parts with the extra money that they don't think it's a guilty conscience. ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylon1357 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I can't count the number of times I saw people with over stuffed bags when flying between Ottawa and Dubai. Just crazy what some people try to class as carry on. I only flew with a small carry on backpack. Anything else was shipped by post in a gorrilla box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrie Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Just a wee update chaps...for the princely sum of £60, I have now doubled my weight allowance on the flight...now got 46kg...this is mainly cos I cannot stop buying stuff on the bay of Evil......hopefully that will be enough..if not, I'll add another suitcase before leaving the good old US of A....

Well Done ....Lucky Man..Best Wishes..IanB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
