Le Puy to Conques. How strict are they with the 13kg limit for luggage transort
Jenny, I have no personal experience with luggage transport however I know from friends that some of the carriers can be extremely strict.
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
Actually Tinc most of our luggage allowances are typically 23 kilos not just 13. Let alone the additional 7 for the carry on. And whilst you make some excellent points, we don't all think, let alone travel in the same way.
Whilst I'm content to wear the same clothes for months on end for some reason many ladies don't seem to think the same way. (Which, personally, I applaud!).
Jenny, we have no idea as to where you're going afterwards, what you're carrying, and why. Assuming you have already refined your list as much as you care to,
@Tincatinker does raise the point that you could consider sending some items ahead, perhaps to a hotel at your final destination if they were willing?
I'm assuming you're stopping in Conques, if you are anticipating going further then you might be better off to adopt Tinc's other suggestion and that is simply buying some of the items when you get there. Storage charges can be expensive.
Failing which, you may simply need to have two bags transported.
