Virgin Australia Extra Baggage and Allowance

Airlines can, and do charge outrageous amounts for excess baggage, especially on international flights. The problem stems from the fact that every country dictates its own baggage rules for each place you fly in and no one seems to know which tariff applies in what country and at what hour of the day.

Every airline will provide the option for pre-purchasing additional baggage, but things will get expensive pretty quickly. Besides, airlines like Virgin Australia only accept baggage on a space-available basis. And the charges are heftier than ever and still, the airlines only allow a certain number of extra baggage per head. This means that your luggage might not end up on the same flight as yours.

Fortunately, there’s another option for transporting Virgin Australia excess baggage i.e opting for an air cargo service like that of PACK & SEND. PACK & SEND carry out safe, secure, and reliable extra baggage shipping. It emerges as the most economical solution in times of adversity. Its warranty policies take full accountability and ensure the safety of your extra baggage.
