Excess luggage charges at Palma Airport

Hi Matthew,

It's not the airport you are travelling from which receives any money for excess baggage charges but the airline you are travelling with - they set the limits. I suspect it goes towards subsidising the high fuel charges they are now having to pay.

Hi,
I had the mis-fortune of having to pay a Luggage Excess at Palma Last Saturday (3 Kg Over), at a cost of 8 Euros per Kg - 24 Euros. (A Charge I could do without!!)

When I asked the less than friendly Airport Authorities Desk Girl if she could explain what actually happened to the Excess monies raised through this method, she was rather curt??

Was interested to understand what actually happens to my 24 Euros. (First Airport I have used which operates this charge for such a small amount of excess weight??)


Thanks in advance.

Cheers for now.
Regards,



Matthew Fulton
