Peach. Posted June 19, 2019 Share I just got back from a trip to EU, although we flew with Qatar.The same rules apply with the 2x23kg bags. However with DH bikes and bike bags it is impossible to stick to that.Bike bags were 28kgluggage bag was 18kgHand luggage was 7kg As long as the max weight of the bike bag is below 30kg and the combined weight is within your allowable 46kg you should be fine, although I have heard of people complaining about Emirates recently.

Pikey Posted June 21, 2019 Share Just a quick update to my flight with Emirates. Although the flight & booking in procedure of bikes was good. I am horrified at the damage that was incurred during the bikes passage to the uk. I wrapped the whole bike in bubble wrap,wheels in padded bags and cardboard & blue thick sponge in the vital areas for extra protection. Pics of the box are from the airport. I could see it had been miss treated and took precautionary pics, never once thought to the extent as per pics. Am glad now I actually took the pics . Am so bummed .

Duane_Bosch Posted June 25, 2019 Share YOH! Sorry Pikey. But for everyone else there is a lesson in your misfortune. 1. If you do use a cardboard box force yourself to use TWO rolls of packing tape to reinforce the box. TWO. I also chuck in 2 rolls for the return journey.2. And take pics of the open box before so you can refer back to it when you come home. Pikey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
