Sometimes Cunard charter complete aircraft (ie everyone on the aircraft is going on your cruise). Usually they charter from from BA. Beware - if this is the case with your fly-cruise, although it makes for easier transfers, the luggage limitations etc are those set by Cunard & not by the airline. I recall one complaint from a cruiser that she wasn't allowed to pay for excess luggage, she was limited to only taking the allowance. Quite why she needed the extra luggage for just a 7-day cruise is beyond me :rolleyes: but she wasn't a happy bunny. BA from Heathrow fly almost-exclusively from T5, but you've no need to be informed which terminal way ahead of time unless you want to book a Nat Express coach. You need to notify the airport or airline if you need a wheelchair or buggy-ride. Try the forums suggested by KK, but probably best to get this info direct from the horse's mouth because arrangements for other folks' cruises may not apply to yours. So ask Cunard or your T/A.

If you have a TA I would ask that they contact Cunard directly on this. If not I would contact them yourself. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecake Posted September 26, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted September 26, 2012 We have been told that we are flying BA from Heathrow with an allowance of 1 case each to a maximum weight of 23 kgs. Are we allowed hand luggage on top of this? If so what is the hand luggage weight restriction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
