February 8th Australia and New Zealand Trip

Exactly what size luggage should I use for my checked bag on this trip. I remain confused concerning what to carry. I know there is a weight limit but do I carry a 24",27", etc.? I think the weight limit is 40-50 lbs. Is that correct? After reading the information on the Tauck site concerning luggage limits I never really understood the bottom line.

Thank you for helping me with this situation as our trip is near.

    50 lb limit on the international flights with total dimension not to exceed 62 inches; 44 lb limit on the short flights within Australia. 15 lb limit for your carry on during those short flights. I bought an ultra lightweight 28 inch bag and had to return it when my measurements exceeded 62 inches even though the manufacturer's measurements came to only 57". I didn't want to take the chance. I exchanged it for another 28 inch bag that does conform. My husband is using a 26" bag.

    I took this trip in November and was panicked when I read the documents 2 days before I was set to leave and saw the luggage requirements. I bought a lightweight 29 inch piece of luggage for the trip and didn't have time to get the correct size. I called Tauck and they said the size didn't matter as much as the weight. I stayed under the 50 lbs and didn't have any issues during any flight. I only brought 1 checked bag, where some others had 2 or even 3!! You definitely want to leave room for souveniers!!! Great trip...Enjoy!
