No problem with the international fligts; however, what are the luggage restrictions on the charter flights and the Nationwide JNB LIV-JNB flights? Any idea about what the overage charges might be?

thanks,

You will have to use soft luggage ( like duffle bags)..they say they cram the luggage into all areas of the planes so they need to be soft only..
And, this is from one of the charter plane sites:
_________________________________________________
In general, the luggage allowance per flight is approx 15 kgs per person, though the Johannesburg based planes are requiring a maximum of 10kgs per person - and always in soft bags. This is for meeting weight limits and easier stowage of luggage.

We also read that the weight of the individual is also scrutinized: If you weigh more than 200 ( or maybe it's more than 210) pounds..you need to buy 2 seats on the plane( the upside is you can have double the weight in luggage allowance )

If this is charter, aren't we chartering the whole plane(s)? After all, we are the only ones at the two Singita lodges. Does this mean that if Sheri doesn't come, we have an extra 96 pounds to split among the rest of us...plus her 10kg luggage allowance?

Sheri, we still want you to come! Just, trying to figure out how much "total" weight we are allowed on the charter.

I think I might have to start taking my diet seriously! :eek:

My Mark will have to buy two seats if that is the rule. And I may have to think diet, too, Andrea! BTW, our oldest granddaughter is another Andrea.

From TIffany:

We can store our bags at the Intercontinental Hotel. THey will charge a fee for this service, no quote at this stage she will work on this much closer to the trip.
