The cheaper fares DO include carry on luggage like backpacks etc that go with you overhead.

The extra $10 is if you need to take a big suitcase up to 20kg. So if you only have a backpack that you can take on the plane with you, choose the cheaper one.

If you need to take a heap of shit like I will, and you need to use a suitcase which will go under the plane, select the extra baggage one.

Or have I just confused everything??

Look, doesn't matter about the baggage etc......if we can't take extra baggage or whatever we'll just wear all our clothes in one hit on the plane. We won't care after a few beers!

What's important is have you booked yet?

I dont know how to explain it hahaha....90% of people carry some form of luggage ON the plane with them and you have to pay and extra $8 or $10 bucks.

Your suitcase is free that goes under the plane then yoou pay and extra 10 to take your bacbpack on and put it in the cabin above your head. All the 'sale fares' for say $29 dont include carry on luggae so you tick the box to pay an extra $8 or $10 to do so.

Capish? :?

nope :?

i always understood it as 'carry on only' for the cheapie fares - meaning you can only take carry on bags that are 10kgs or under and the size dimensions they set - nothing that needs to be checked in tho

but regardless ... we get 20kgs of luggage in the planes belly, and the carry on deal - thats the way read it ... now stop making me so parinoid

Scheduled for release in Australia and New Zealand on Friday, 18 September, the band‘s ninth studio album, Backspacer, will be available in both countries before the rest of the world. The first single, The Fixer, went to Australian radio on 21 July and was the No. 1 most added song to radio that week.

So my guess is it's released on the 18th

Ohhhhh.....so Nossie was trying to make me take the wrong day off work, was she!!!

Thanks gvn2fly12!

I booked off the 18 already, so they better not change the date on me, or I will not be happy

Thats correct Zig, I am full of great ideas

zenith · August 2009

and the uni exam office emailed me back super pronto - timetable comes out on the 6th - and i get till 5pm on the 16th to change my nominated exam location ...

which means i could possible sit an exam in auckland on the same day as the show ....

jeez, that would be a bit hard to cope with i think .... id be so hyped by showtime id be like a kid on 10 red bulls

DonJon · August 2009

Im even more confused now and I honestly cant think straight

Maybe Ive stuffed it up. I just got a text for Oz saying 'remember to book chose extra baggage on flights' and all I remember is that every flight Ive booked in the last 5 years we always do it.

Now Im ultra confused but gonna drop it coz Ive wasted an hour on it

Ever told you Id LOVE to be a travel agant :roll:

actually, i tried but it wouldnt let me .... so we can just select seats together when we check in - or hopefully we can ...

i'd be funny if we all end up in single seats spread all over the plane

So when's the album out here? 17th or 18th?

Hey Zigg...

The album is (supposedly) coming out here on the 17th... there is some strange connection cause the tickets went on sale on the 17th, the album is released on the 17th and the concert (here in Adelaide) is on the 17th.... we like to think that's a lucky sign!! ;D

When Jim emailed me I thought "stop over where?! Australia?" ha ha I didn't think about north and south island having a time difference.

Does NZ have the same power plugs as us?
