Willow, I almost booked a flight with Tiger as they were cheaper, but then I saw the charge for the baby and thought, "stuff you!" LOL.
Thanks SS I had a read. I think the difference is that my ticket doesn't include any checked baggage. I am not entitled to any space in the hold according to their rules, but can buy a space subject to availability. Hence my surprise at being told I can have space and what's more it'll be free...
Amy, just wondering how you ended up going with the stroller? Was it definitely free? I've booked the same sort of ticket to the Gold Coast in just over a months time and then thought that I should take the pram. It would be great if it could go on for free. Then I won't have to try to ration DH's luggage to fit all of our clothes and DS's stuff, because he won't have to include the pram in his allotment.
Oh, also, do you happen to know if a pram is classed as different to a stroller/pusher? I'd hate to get there and get told the pram is too big and therefore I have to pay :/
Yep, Krystie, it was free. Baby items are free (with a limit of 2 or 3 items, I think - don't know for sure as I only had the one item), so it shouldn't matter what type of pram you have. They will take port-a-cots and car seats, so I wouldn't think your pram would be much heavier than those.
The staff were absolutely brilliant, I have to say. Even when I missed the shuttle out to Avalon and got there after check-in had closed, they still put the stroller on the plane for me and they were super helpful when I was soooooo flustered and upset! Can't give them a big enough thumbs-up.
Hope your staff are just as lovely as mine were!
