Avianca baggage limits?

Gator says on Dec 13, 2005, 19:13:

It's On Avianca's Site... but in Spanish: Translation is;

International, each person, two pieces of luggage at 30 kg (70#)
each bag-one carry on at 10 kg (26#)

Internal Colombian Travel Total luggage weight 20kg (44#) and one carry on 10 kg (26 #) Things like purses, normal photographic equipment, lap top don't count against carry on.

If you fly international to Colombia and continue on with out a stop over-even changing planes or going from Avianca to SAM-to another internal destination like Miami-Bogotá-Santa Marta the international limits will apply.



Por su parte, los viajeros de Clase Económica podrán aforar dos piezas con 32 kilos (70 libras) cada una. La suma de sus tres dimensiones exteriores (largo, ancho y alto) no debe exceder los 158 centímetros (62 pulgadas).
Los viajeros de Económica y Ejecutiva podrán llevar a mano en la cabina una pieza adicional, cuya suma de las tres dimensiones exteriores no exceda 115 centímetros (45 pulgadas) y peso máximo de 10 kilos (22 libras).

I Think I think here in the States the weight went down from 70Lbs down to 50Lbs.

I Just found out yesterday at the Las Vegas airport

Not completely sure. Good Luck

Gator... ... is right, but it's also available in English. On the Avianca site you can go to 'Para Viajeros' 'Equipaje' 'Equipaje', then in the top right corner select English and the Spanish page is translated. The direct URL is the same: http://www.avianca.com/ParaViajeros/Equipajes/equipaje.htm

restrictions avianca allows 2 70-pound bags to be checked, and you can pay to take 2 more ($100 each, I think). This is 20 pounds per bag more than US airlines allow ans $50 per extra bag cheaper than US airlines charge. Plus, there`s always the fact that if you "discuss" something with a Colombian long enough, you will eventually get your way.
