parafareno Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have seen they allow max 20 kilos for big luggage. I travelled to thailand with Emirates, that allowed 30 kilos for big suitcase. My suitcase is currently around 24 kilos. Will Bangkok Air cause problems regarding my suitcase weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upnotover Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 You also get 5 kg carry on. Sorted, carrier bag with some of your junk in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 If you bought one ticket with Emirates to Samui, they'll allow the Emirates weight. If you bought a separate Bangkok Air ticket you fly domestic with Bangkok Airways and their domestic luggage rules. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between my Wife and I is 47 kgs... yet they check to see if a carry on bag is not over 20 kgs and worry about a 5 kgs difference ?

Which Samui airport are you at? I have live here for more than 20 years. Flown 100's of times. Never been weighed. Quote Clearly not that critical because they never check the weight of the people or their hand luggage. They do check hand luggage sometimes if it looks overweight or over sized.

All the peoples weights are added together at the end of the check-ins , that's why fat people are sometimes removed from the flights before take-off 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your conspiracy theory about weighing passengers does not work with travellers like me. I go to security, airport lounge and then catch the bus to the plane. End of.
