Transporting excess baggage

Ah, thank you. It's all become clear now!! Thanks. -Laura

Hi again Laura,

The "one piece of baggage" regulation is set to establish the maximum number of items, the weight and the specific size which will be carried free of charge in the hold of the aircraft. If any of these requirements are exceeded (number of items, weight per item and size of each item), the items will be considered excess baggage. So her second bag will be put through as excess.

Thanks. We thought that was probably what would happen. I have one other question to calm her worries: Does that mean she can have two checked bags even though the limits say one? Thanks again. -Laura Sievert


Hi Laura,

Afraid the only way your daughter can get her excess luggage into Barcelona is by paying for it I'm afraid. Her best (and safest) course of action would be to take it to Barcelona with her as excess baggage and then put it into luggage storage there until she leaves for the US. You can find details of left luggage storage charges at http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/barcelona-airport.html

I have a question. Not sure I'm in the right place, but thought I'd
try. My daughter needs to fly from Madrid to Barcelona and then a
week later, fly from Barcelona to the US. She has too much baggage
for the Madrid to Barcelona flight. But should be okay for the
Barcelona to US flight. Is there a way to get the extra baggage from
Madrid to Barcelona and have it stored there for a few days before
she flies out without having to take it with her on the Madrid flight
and pay the extra weight charge? Thanks. -Laura
