i recently consulted a few travel agents in London.

Some said only 20kg for each passenger and a few said 2 bags of 20kg each for each individual. They were also not sure.

I assume they'll tell exactly when i pay them money

Take care

Hi,

Baggage allowance is as stipulated by the chosen airline for any immigrant.The standard varies in line with the passenger preferred class of flying,first class,business or economy. These classes usually comes with different variants of baggage allowance.

However, you will need to contact your airline to confirm whether concessions are granted to immigrants.

Cheers
