Though I'm going with Emirates and paid about half what BA were asking.

Mind you, I've got Cape Verde first.

... well to SA anyways... did I mention I'm off to Marsa diving from Grand Sea Serpent from next Wednesday...?

Only problem is there are no decent carriers going there... so I'm stuck with Monarch... 15kgs allowance... plus an extra 5kgs booked by Tony Backhurst... I've now had to pay an additional £100.50 for another 13kgs sporting goods and some extra legroom... so in total I'm allowed 33kgs spread over a couple of bags... it's not a cheap do...

But Nackers has delivered my weenie Salvo... so I'm a happy man!

Not only am I not paying the airline costs but the car hire and accomodation are paid for too (some of the time I'll be working) but my MD has OK'd me expensing the diving too

I'm glad I'm so disorganised and hadn't booked my flight from Livingstone to Durban. Just checked the Nationwide airlines website and they've gone into administration.

from their website.

• Equipment must be packed in a travel case specifically designed for that piece of equipment.
• One piece of sporting equipment should weigh no more than 23kg* and should not exceed the dimensions (H+W+L): 158cm (62in).

* From November 2008, a flat fee of £25 GBP will be applied to bags weighing more than 23kg (51lbs). This charge is to cover the additional handling that bags weighing over 23kg (51lbs) can attract. Until this charge is implemented, we will continue to accept a single piece of baggage weighing up to 32kg (70lbs) without charge. Please note that we will not accept a bag heavier than 32kg (70lbs) as checked baggage.

oh for goodness sake. This post is clearly in the wrong part of the forum. I thought you were advertising spaace on your trip.

That luggage allowance is the same as it was when i went to the Red Sea (before GB airways sold themselves to sleazyjet). They can't take a bag weighing more than 32kg because of the additional manual handling requirements associated with HASAW.
If you can't get 10 days worth of clothes and your diving kit in 2 bags neither weighing more than 23kg, you are a woman disguised as a man, only worse, so leave out at least three of those pairs of shoes and two suits. I did it (I had one bag weighing 16kg and one weighing 18kg )
