13kg allows for a lot of gear and clothing unless you’re planning on transporting your own wine as wellLe Puy to Conques. How strict are they with the 13kg limit for luggage transort
Hi,I’ve never seen anyone doing luggage transport weighing a bag.
If you’re concerned, or if you’re not comfortable sticking to the carriers terms of service whilst still expecting them to carry out their part of the contract, use two bags?
This walk is only part of a long trip - I travel a long way to get to Europe so I will make the most of it.13kg allows for a lot of gear and clothing unless you’re planning on transporting your own wine as well
Yup, try swinging 40 or 50 pieces of 13kg luggage in and out of hotel receptions and vans and out again and into the next hotel and go again and again. Then try it with 14 or 15kg. Your little bit extra is someone else’s working day, not their gym club workout. The weight limits are set after careful risk assessment and review. But hey, maybe they should just employ fitter peopleHi,
I am only worried about being 1 or 2 kgs over. Last year on the Norte the lady from Correos was weighing a lot and upset by even 0.5kgs over.
La Malle Postale are pretty particular when it comes to bag weight ... if you know that you are over the 13kg limit I would decant the excess into a separate bag or suitcase ...Yup, try swinging 40 or 50 pieces of 13kg luggage in and out of hotel receptions and vans and out again and into the next hotel and go again and again.

Jenny, I have no personal experience with luggage transport however I know from friends that some of the carriers can be extremely strict.Le Puy to Conques. How strict are they with the 13kg limit for luggage transort
I appreciate that. You’re coming from a long distance to Europe. But even on a 6 or 8 week trip I’ve never been anywhere near 13kg for my luggage. Except on the way home with a few souvenirs. That’s the limit at which most airlines start charging plenty extra dinero for even letting you on the plane.
My well meant advice is take a long critical look at what you’re packing. Replacement cosmetic consumables, underwear, clothing are all readily available in Yerp. If you’re planning two very different experiences: Camino and some touristic ventures then look at what will serve both purposes and what could be left in a repository or forwarded to Santiago or wherever. Look at what you need not what you’d like to have.
Buen Camino and Bon Vacance
Have you thought about asking the transport company directly. Because their answer would be correct.Le Puy to Conques. How strict are they with the 13kg limit for luggage transort
It sounds like she knows that the company has a limit of 13 kg, but wants an exception made for her.Have you thought about asking the transport company directly. Because their answer would be correct.
