When we went to Taiwan in November we were allowed 20kg (44lb) each - maximum for Qantas flights. I like to travel light so my husband and I have taken to sharing one large suitcase ( max 40kg between us) and having 1 carryon bag each. It weighed 18 kg when we left and 23kg when we came back! I thought we did well. Our daughter made up for it - her bag weighed 19kg when we left and 25kg when we returned - all this for one adult!

It is amazing to see what people try to carry onto the plane. Qantas are usually pretty restrictive with their weight allowances.

Happy and safe travelling
