Emirates Excess Baggage


Excess baggage charges on an Emirates flight will again depend on your fare and also your destination. Emirates provide an online baggage calculator to help you determine your excess baggage costs. These prices can vary based on a number of factors.

My Baggage – Airline Baggage Alternative


Emirates offers a very generous complimentary checked baggage allowance for all types of passengers. However, purchasing excess baggage on an Emirates flight can be very expensive and has the potential to significantly increase the overall cost of your journey.

Thankfully, that’s where My Baggage comes in.

My Baggage allows you to ship a massive 30kg suitcase at fantastic low rates. You can get a free instant quote online to see exactly how cost-effective our service can be. You’ll also have the option to pay extra for even heavier bags if you need to, as you can add as many items as you like to your booking. Shipping your luggage ahead allows you to bring more with you than if you were simply relying on a few pieces of checked baggage.

Book online and My Baggage will collect your luggage and deliver it quickly and safely to where it needs to go.

Although it had its problems to arrive on the time scheduled as thanks to Brexit and the new enforced customs checks my luggage was checked 3 timesin several points within the UK - their excellent customer service kept me on the loop at all times and I could really feel like my luggage was taking care and monitored its whereabouts. Very happy with the service

Baggage arrived on time as promised

Baggage arrived on time as promised. Labels are hard to put on luggage unless you use tape and it is hard to stick on some types of fabric. However, everything went smoothly and we give My Baggage 5 stars.

Works as Intended but with many Limitations

The experience overall was good, and my complaints do not really lie at the feet of My Luggage. It's more about the restrictions and limitations to what you can actually put in your luggage (basically just clothes and toys, no electronics, expensive items, food, or money.) Also, my hardshell suitcase that I had used was almost completely destroyed which is more the fault of DHL. Luckily all of my belongings were fine. The process of listing and pricing everything in your luggage and then weighing it is pretty annoying but again not the fault of My Luggage. Knowing all of the limitations you'll have this service was pretty good. Everything came in on-time and the pickup/dropoff was easy.

Great experience

Great experience, shipping from Spain to Netherlands took 5 days (with a previous company took over 1 month). The process from end to end was simple, no complications, recommended.

Really Happy with MyBaggage

Really Happy with MyBaggage. Another good experience. Speedy responses from Customer Service who were always helpful. Also the fact that DHL picked up my bags and delivered them is a huge bonus as I felt sure that my bags/Boxes would be in good hands and delivered on time. And they were! The only thing I was worried about was packing right as many items are prohibited under the label "Liquids"

Safe and fast

The company is great! I had to send a suitcase from Los Angeles to France and it was really easy to do. My baggage sent a delivery company to my U.S. position to pick up the suitcase and delivered it to my French address in no more than 4 days. The suitcase was not damaged during the travel. Really good experience !
