Information for those families who shall be flying soon.
We are family of four and bringing lot of stuff like extra clothings, undergarments, summer shoes, crockery, cutlery, bed linen, towels and kitchen utensils etc, that's why we have excess baggage. As I am coming through Emirates which allows one suitecase of 23kg and one 7kg standard hand carry with ticket, and for an extra 23 kg suitecase I was asked to pay 250 USD from Islamabad to Calgary. I will need almost 3 to 4 suitecases to fill in my extra luggage.
I got a good deal from DHL, they are taking my 100 kg extra luggage from Islamabad to Calgary in 630 USD.
This way I am saving on shipping cost, cost of suitecases, since I need to take all items without packing and those will be put in Carton provided by DHL (and extra suitecases will be of no use after reaching Canada) also cost of bringing them from Airport to home since DHL will deliever at the door step.
I am taking necessary items with me on the Flight and this extra luggage will reach once we are relatively settled in the house.
