Auckland flights and baggage allowance

Hi

Does anyone know of flights to Auckland with higher baggage allowances? Last time my daughter and bf flew with Royal Brunei and it was 32kg but they've lowered it to 20kg. Are there any other generous airlines (or ones with cheap excesses)?

Thanks

    Emirates allow 30kg in Economy but I would double check that it definitely applies to that route.

    Thanks we'll take a look though I think they are quite expensive generally.

    Well my daughter managed to get return flights with Emirates for under £750 each including the bigger baggage allowance which I think is very good. Thanks Incapuppy.

    We were a few Kg over the 30Kg when we flew Emirates last year and weren't charged for it. 35Kg seems to be the limit.

    No probs Pandora, Emirates are a lovely, comfortable airline to fly with with good service :)

    With all due respect Knightstyle I feel it is misleading to state what you think the baggage limit 'seems to be.' The limit for cabin baggage in economy for those without a Skywards tier is 30kg.

    Given that many airport baggage handlers will not accept anything over 32kg, I agree with Incapuppy - your post is misleading.
    Gone ... or have I?
