Paying British Airways excess baggage fees? We offer a cheaper alternative — we collect your bags from your UK door and ship them to your British Airways destination. Since 1998.
All carriers require your luggage to be no more than 23kg each. Full stop. It is not a guideline and it is not negotiable at the desk.
If your luggage is over 32kg it must travel as cargo — no airline will load it as a checked bag. Your only option at check-in is to unpack everything in front of strangers and redistribute the weight. It is slow, it holds up the queue, and it is as frustrating as it sounds.

Airlines serving this route charge steep excess-baggage fees booked online, or significant fees at the airport. The heavy bag fee for bags over 25kg is £65 per bag per journey. Bags over 32kg cannot be carried and must be shipped as cargo.
Maximum fee: £165 per bag at airport

If you are travelling with more than one or two suitcases, paying airline excess baggage charges can quickly become expensive. Many airlines charge additional fees for extra bags, overweight luggage or oversized items — and you will still need to carry your luggage through the airport yourself.
At Excess Luggage Ltd., we provide a convenient alternative. We collect your luggage, suitcases, boxes and personal effects directly from your UK home, office or university and ship them safely to destinations around the world by air or sea freight. Whether you are a student studying abroad, relocating overseas, emigrating, or simply travelling with extra baggage, our luggage shipping service helps you avoid carrying heavy bags through the airport while offering a reliable, fully tracked service.
Our experienced team has been helping customers ship luggage worldwide since 1998, with services to 185 countries. Depending on your destination, we also offer convenient door-to-door (subject to your destination) delivery options.
Before paying airline excess baggage fees, compare your options. You may find that shipping your luggage separately is a more convenient and cost-effective solution — particularly if you are travelling with several suitcases, sports equipment, musical instruments or personal belongings.
