Hi,
My daughter is visiting Palma Mallorca solo soon. Her ticket is booked via British Airways but the first leg of the return flight, out of Palma, is on Iberia Airlines. Economy with no checked bag. The fly in the ointment is that Iberian’s carry on weight limit is only 23 lb (10k), half what the major airlines allow.
Has anyone found a good work-around for this situation? I called Iberia and they do not have a set policy or price for “over weight” carry ons other than to say it will have to be checked. The rep said all you can do is wait until you check in to see what they will charge at that time for that flight. We have travelled thru the airport in Palma (PMI) before and it is chaotic at best. But I can’t believe there isn’t a set price schedule or procedure. The agent’s best response was 80€ - 100€! Buying a seat with 1 checked bag is under €50! Can you buy a seat for a bag? 😂
If you’ve “been there, done that” please share! Thanks.
