Hi All,
My husband and I will be traveling on Silk Air from Singapore to Manado. We understand that Silk Air allows an extra 10 kg for dive gear, but want to get some clarification of how this works. (We have tried calling them several times with no good answers). Do they weigh (our potential 3 bags) together as a couple and use the 60 kg we would have available (we are likely to be a bit over no matter how we pack it)? They said something about weighing the dive gear separately -- do they really have you unpack your bags? Do we have to split to 4 bags because they treat us separately? Any advice from someone who has done this route would be appreciated. We cannot check our bags from the US because we have about a day and a half in Singapore (will be staying at the Crown plaza and seeing a bit of the town).
One other question is whether we will have a problem carrying a backpack plus a regulator bag each (as our "personal" item).
Thanks!!
