Question 8

When is my luggage transferred?

Accepted Answer

Luggage is transferred on the days that you are walking to a different hotel. We ask you to have it ready at reception at 8.00 so as to make sure we can deliver your luggage and others as early as possible in the afternoon.
Make sure that you use our luggage tags. Ideally, write your trip reference and the group leader’s name so our luggage handler can identify your luggage straight away. You can also add a mobile phone number to the luggage tags if you wish. Please note that the hotels are not committed to bring your luggage to your room so it will be up to you to carry it to your bedroom. In some cases, accommodation may not have a lift and you may have to carry the luggage up the stairs. It is usually delivered to your next hotel by 6pm max.
Note that if you are not going by foot or cycling to your following destination you MUST take your luggage with you. On days where you are taking public transport you need take your luggage with you.
The luggage transfer is limited to 1 bag per person with a maximum weight of 15 kg per bag, it does not matter the size of the bag. Additional bags can be transferred for an extra $20 per bag per transfer. Please note that boots or smaller bags attached to the main bag count as an extra bag and will be charged accordingly.
