Guys, oyalata hitena widiyata me case ekata adalawa SriLankan Airlines eka excess baggage charge karanna ona widiya mokakda?
My ticket baggage allowance:
Since my checked baggage was 3 kg over and my cabin bag was 2 kg over, shouldn't the excess baggage charge be based on 5 kg (3 + 2)?
Scenario 2 (What the airline staff said):
The staff informed me that the total cabin baggage (cabin bag + laptop bag) cannot exceed 10 kg. Since I didn't have enough time to rearrange my luggage, they asked me to check in my entire 9 kg cabin bag. As a result, my checked baggage became 42 kg, and I was charged for 12 kg excess baggage.
After checking the SriLankan Airlines baggage policy, I couldn't find any clause stating that the combined weight of the cabin bag and laptop bag must not exceed 10 kg. From what I found, Economy Class allows one 7 kg cabin bag, and one laptop is permitted in addition to the cabin baggage, but I couldn't find a total combined weight limit for both together.
Am I missing something in the policy, or was the excess baggage calculated incorrectly?
I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts, especially if you've experienced something similar with SriLankan Airlines.
