as far as carry-ons go ... the Virgin website lists the per passenger
carry-on baggage restrictions at 2 pieces with total weight not to exceed 7
kg ... do they commonly weigh the carry-ons before they let you on?

the checked baggage restriction is 20 kg ... how stringently is this
inforced ... would it make sense to send the excess baggage as Virgin Blue
freight?

we anticipate 3 ticketed passengers with 2 bags per passenger ... each bag
at 30 kg, which makes our SYD-OOL flight ungodly expansive due to too much
luggage ... it seems almost funny that our fair is priced at $66 AUD per
person (plus tax) and the excess luggage will be approx $200 AUD per person
.... hard to believe!
