Reply To: Maximising BA 32kg luggage allowance – bag suggestions?

Can’t speak about the box scenario but I agree wholeheartedly that you will almost certainly bulk out before exceeding the weight limit of a large case. I speak from significant experience of Mrs S collecting toiletries from our trips to Asia, the last lot weighed almost 5Kg! To be fair these are all given to our daughter who puts them in a cupboard at the hospital where she works, they are used to provide essential products for emergency admissions. What I would add after I digressed so much is that the strap handle electronic scales sold online are surprisingly accurate, again I speak from experience of trying to cram large cases with heavier items whilst still keeping them less than the normal Asian 30Kg luggage limit.
