Listen up - it was said on here a while back. Basically Emirates works on two concepts - Piece 'concept' or weight 'concept'. What determines which 'concept' is used is where you booked the flights from. Emirates has a different policy for different locations. I am flying UK/DXB/CPT and return. Within the UK Emirates exercises it's weight concept :- I was worried given I am flying out from SA where Emirates exercises it's Piece Concept :- However, what 'concept' you use depends on where your journey started from - thus given I am embarking from the UK where the weight concept is applied this is thus applicable throughout the entire journey. Hope this helps? So Remember cyclist if you are flying with Emirates make sure before hand that the origin of your journey has the 'weight' concept applied otherwise you might be subject to some hefty charges.
