Re: Air Canada

[flopnfly]

Am I reading this right?    :confused:   Does this mean that I am allowed 2 bags for a total of 100 lbs?
 
 
 We're flying with Air Canada to Cozumel.
 
 Checked Baggage Allowances
 
 Customers are allowed to check the following amounts of luggage free of charge:
 
 Hospitality Service (to and from all destinations except Brazil and Japan)*
 
 2 bags
 For each bag:
  Maximum weight      50lb (23kg)
  Maximum linear dimensions      62in (158cm)

That is the way I read it Heather...
 
 And for the c class it's a little more..
 
 Executive Class/Executive First (all destinations)
 
 3 bags, total weight of all three bags not to exceed 150 lb (69kg)
 
 For each bag:
 
 
  Maximum weight   70lb (32kg)
  Maximum linear dimensions   62in (158cm)

I read it the same way Heather, because you have the option of substituting one of your 50 lbs. cases for your dive bag.

Hola Everyone........
 
 I have 2 bags 70 lbs each, plus a carry-on 22lbs. Oh yes, a purse and a pouch also.
 
 Bulldog: Are we allowed more than 22 lbs for a carry-on?.
 
 I hope the weight allowance is correct because I am maxed out!

I would hold it to that    :D

Sherry, you are allowed two pieces of carryon luggage each weighing 22 lbs.
 
 Items permitted but not considered part of the allowance include harness,    :D   camera, coats, purses (25cm x 30cm x 20cm - 10" x 12" x 8" or less), urns containing human remains, strollers, child restraint systems, canes, crutches, walkers, containers carrying life sustaining items and other similar items.

Heather I think she can fit the wips and chains in there too   :eek:  
 
 
   :rof:

[Bulldog]

so that's a total of 44lbs of carry on   :mad:

[flopnfly]

I thought I was taking the whips and chains?     :D

I just can't believe how much allowance you guys are getting.  I realise, of course, that Air Canada are more generous with their allowances as they are a scheduled and not a charter operator.
 
 On our flight we are getting 30 kilos, but only 5 kilos hand luggage.
 
 I'm having to travel light again so, hopefully, Wossa can use some of my allowance for his dive gear.
 
 Looks like I shall be having to do my laundry in the bathroom sink again (a la PCV) unless one of you kind ladies volunteers!!!!

[flopnfly]

Sherry can do the washing and I'll do the ironing.  I like to iron.     :D

Just found this on  www.visitmexico.com but don't know how uptodate it is:
 
 Taxes: When leaving the country, you must pay departure and airport taxes, which cost about US$13 and US$8.50, respectively.
 
 Doubt if there are irons in the rooms:
 
 Standard rooms in bungalow-style two storey buildings are attractively furnished and sleep up to 2 adults and 1 child with 1 king-size or 2 double beds, private bathroom with shower, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, mini-bar (with soft drinks and beer), satellite TV, telephone, safe, hairdryer and balcony or terrace with hammock.

Hola
 
 I copied this from another forum regarding Departure Tax in Mexico.

 I don't know exactly how much it is, but I do know that it has already been paid in your 'ticket package' if you go A.I. Actually, I prefer it to how Cuba and the D.R. do it. In my mind, I know that I did pay a departure tax from Mexico, but it doesn't seem like it when you don't have to put aside money for it, and then literally hand it over at departure.  Dumb, I know, but it works for me!!

Maybe it's different for you Canadians that are flying on a scheduled airline, but we will definitely have to cough up.
 
 I have just checked in the First Choice brochure and it says:
 
 Departure Tax and Visitor fees:  Aprox $45US (subject to change) payable locally on departure.  This tax is applicable for all ticket holders.
 
 Thomas Cook brochure says it is included in their holiday price.

[flopnfly]

I'll put the money aside just in case, but I'm pretty sure it's included.  I know in Jamaica it's included in your package.  We never had to pay at deaprture except in Cuba and DR.
