interpreting singapore airlines baggage policy...

Can I get some help interpreting Singapore Airlines baggage policy, please?

So I'm assuming from the information provided that on a trip from Australia to Europe I have 30kg checked baggage allowance and it could be a bike box plus a bag, if that's what works best for me. What do other people think?

When we flew to New Zealand earlier this year with Singapore Airlines, I took two items of luggage - a bike and a large bag full of clothes etc. - which fit within the 30kg limit, and they were absolutely fine with that. (The bike was a Bike Friday in a suitcase rather than a bike bag, but I doubt that makes any difference.)

I agree that you get 30 kgs. It doesn't mention number of pieces so I guess it must be multiple. This is what I get on Emirates and is common on many Middle Eastern and Asian airlines.

I found the bit on most significant carrier and the allowance very interesting. I know this was discussed in another post about multiple carriers.

Hi Simon - good to 'see' you here (I found my way to the CTC forum on your recommendation).

Yeah, I always check the policy of all the different carriers, so as not to end up in trouble.
