Hi guys,
I'm looking to come out in December to do some diving and exploring of Australia. I'm thinking a liveaboard in Cairns, a few days in Ayr for the Yongala, a dive or two in the Whitsundays, and then another dive or so in Sydney. I also want go to Fraser Island on a 4wd tour but I think that only has snorkeling.
I figure that I'm in for 2 domestic flights, from Hamilton Island to Brisbane and Brisbane to Sydney. The international flights I'm not concerned about luggage as the requirements don't appear to be too strict. However, I'm concerned about having to check a domestic flight.
How strict are they on the weight limit of 7kg (15lbs)? There is no way I could come close to that with my gear/main bag but I could for my backpack that I would put under the seat as a personal item. If I fit the size dimensions with the bag, would they still make me check it for weight? It will probably weigh between 30-45 lbs.
I'd prefer to keep all my gear with me and save some money as well. If I'm forced to check no matter what, I might as well plan on bringing a bigger bag.
