Baggage
Allowance
Each passenger travelling to Lord Howe Island is permitted 14kg
per person of checked baggage and 4kg
of carry-on baggage. This
is due to strict weight restrictions placed on the aircraft travelling to the
Island. The 14kg baggage restriction also applies to all passengers, including
passengers connecting from International flights. Excess charges apply
where baggage exceeds the 14kg
limit to Lord Howe Island and QantasLink cannot guarantee that excess baggage
will arrive to the Island.
Importance
of Confirming Accommodation Prior to Purchase of Airfares
The
tourist bed limit on Lord Howe is capped at 400, so it
is strongly recommended that accommodation on the Island is confirmed prior to
purchasing airfares - as many fares have special conditions relating to flight
changes and may be non-refundable.
Authorised travel wholesalers
In
order to assist and protect travellers, QantasLink has appointed authorised
travel wholesalers who have many years experience packaging holidays to Lord
Howe. The
typical holiday package combines airfare, accommodation and airport transfers
and can include meals if desired. Authorised wholesalers are well prepared to
handle bookings from any state in Australia or overseas, and will solve the
problem of integrating airfare with available accommodation.
If
you have a preferred local travel agent, the wholesaler will also work with
your own travel agent to arrange all details of your Lord Howe itinerary.
We recommend:
Travel insurance on a Lord Howe trip is strongly recommended, and is also available via the wholesale travel agent or your own local travel agent.
