If you are immigrating you will find the airlines quite reasonable. When
I
immigrated Qantas gave me 200Kg free baggage allowance for my family of
four
(10 suitcases).
Just ask for an increased free baggage allowance. You might be surprised.


Qantas will - Virgin wont and neither will Jetstar. I had the misfortune to
fly Virgin to Melbourne the other week and there was a few heated debates
about carry on bags and excess baggage weights.

And then we had to wait nearly 50 minutes to get the bags in Melbourne - on
a 2 hour flight!!

Coming back we were treated to a 1970s stereotype of a "Hostie" - "At the
back of the cabin Mandy, in the middle Sandy and of course I'm Randy".
