Student Discount's 10kg baggage allowance — is this actually guaranteed at check-in?
Hi! I’m travelling Karachi - Dubai - Bologna in mid-September and just wanna know something whether it's actually possible to get the extra 10kg, because originally (before i found out about student discount) i was thinking about purchasing the extra weight . I don't have my student ID yet so my concern is whether this is actually reliable at the airport. I only have my offer letter. I’m worried bec i've heard of people arriving at check-in expecting a baggage benefit/offer and being told it wasn’t applicable if they dont have the ID, then having to pay a lot or remove things from their luggage (i've heard the similiar happening for qatar airways or turkish airlines too).
Tbh I'd rather pay for the extra weight beforehand than actually face problems at the airport or be told that i can't avail the extra 10kg benefit bec my offer letter doesn't work.
Has anyone here, who did not have their student ID yet, actually used the 10kg baggage benefit on a Karachi to Italy route? Did it show up correctly at check-in without any issues?
I just want to be 100% sure before I pack for 35kg and get to Karachi airport only to be told I’m actually limited to 25kg. Thanks!
