When we flew back to Morzine earlier this week the guy’s at the oversize bag check-in warned us that the maximum weight limits are soon to be lowered. At the moment each piece of luggage can weigh up to 32kgs, and these guys told us that next month it’s down to 23kgs. Our bike bags each weighed 24 and 25kgs.
Now, I can’t find anything about this on the Easyjet website (it still says up to 32kgs) but have found that it’s BAA (who run the airports) who are imposing this for health and safety reasons. And quite a few other carriers have updated their sites with dates for the change - Ryanair say from July and BA from the 30th September.
So take extra care when packing your bikes up and be prepared to put extras into your other baggage.
