You can bring in additional luggage/baggage for a fee. Contact your airline.

You can also send it by post. If you want to take all your belongings, you could take a container but unless you are very fond of your stuff, it is usually not worth the expense. I have found that to ship a couple of boxes, post is often the best deal.

If you want to take all your belongings, by sea, is your best option. Contact a relocation company.

Yes you are right mycan ;)

Hello ramanbeeth,

To and fro USA and Canada has a "Piece concept" or "Code 2 PC" baggage system.

Most of the International Airlines to and fro USA and Canada allow check-in baggage up to 23 kg x 2 pcs= 46 Kg total under "Piece concept", plus cabin baggage from 7 to 10 kg (standard ) according to the airlines.

Therefore verify your ticket or ask your agent or call the KLM office near to your area (if available) to make sure that you can carry 2 suit cases of 23 kg each and additional hand luggage or not.

If not, I advice, you should choose other airline if you did not buy your ticket yet. There are lot of other airlines from India allowing 46 Kg + hand carry.

More over, if you fly with KLM, I think, you have a waiting time of 7 or 8 hours at Amsterdam or at Paris for your connecting flight to Toronto. Please check that too. What happens during more waiting time at European airports.

  • You need a credit card or Euro to buy coffee, snacks or water
  • No free drinking water at those airports like in Indian airports

  • a small cup of coffee could cost 3 to 5 euro, or convert your US dollar ( still you loose)
