Is It True Thai Airways - Not Charging Excess Baggage?

[pwllgrgn]

Hello

I am going to be moving to Chiang Mai in the near future. I have a friend who moved there with her husband in 2006. I have no reason not to believe what she has told me but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same. She flew with Thai Airways from the UK, she apparently just turned up at Heathrow with every suitcase she owned and numerous packing cases. When the staff on the checkout saw that she only had a one way ticket they did not charge her excess baggage. I don’t want to turn up and then be refused, but before I make enquiries with Thai Airway has anyone else had the same experience

Hi

Its not quite the same but we returned to the UK (my wife for the first time) on the 5th May 07. She had a one way ticket to Uk whilst I was using my return. Each ticket gave us 20Kg each. Our bags weighed 54Kg. The staff didn't say a word and we were not charged.

However on a previous visit. I was charged 200 dollars by EVA air for a similar overweight.

Last time I flew Thai airways they were very generous about baggage weight.

1 2 Go is not.

EVA is if you travel business or deluxe, so if you have lots of baggage the upgrade who be well worth it.
