I'm sure that I am not the first person on this forum to run into the baggage nightmare that is Lion Air. We need to get from Manado to Sorong in January. Lion Air is the only carrier that flies this route and their 30kg/per person weight limit is causing a real problem for us to transport dive gear, camera equipment and clothing for a month. We emailed Lion and they informed us that it is impossible to purchase excess luggage for this flight.
It seems like the best option is to just purchase two seats each for the flight and pay for 30kg of luggage for each seat. It seems like this would solve our problem. But will Lion Air even allow us to do this? We have emailed them with this question, but have received no response yet. I cannot see why it should matter to them whether there is an actual body in our second seat as long as it and the baggage fees are paid.
Thoughts, suggestions....Thanks in advance.
