Re: Baggage allowance KLM SEMN
well I flew KLM operated by Delta and it was 2*23kg which sucked - would have preferred one large bagFormer TH cadet with experience of cruise ships, buoy tenders, research ships and oil tankers -
Re: Baggage allowance KLM SEMN
yup KLM are 2x20 (max allowance 20kg NOT 46kg)
Mind I still cant work out why you need that much even as a cadet I had 1 case (still use it now) and never went over 24kg EVER that was before reaching the point I cna leave stuff on board, might dig out one of my old packing lists and see what it is that I took!Trust me I'm a Chief.

Re: Baggage allowance KLM SEMN
What outfits have you worked for and what was their uniform policy? Packing personal gear is easy, it's uniform that takes up the second bag. Although if we're just talking about engineers, a dirty boiler suit doesn't take up much room so they've no excuses. :POriginally posted by ChiefyComment

Re: Baggage allowance KLM SEMN
LOL
P&O Containers and APM-M for uniform I only ever took 2 short sleeved and 1 long sleeved shirt, 1 pr black tousers and 1 pr black shoes.....that was it, nowadays I carry 1 short sleeved shirt and 1pr trousers.
Was looking at what I used to take and it was roughly as below:-
2 short sleeved uniform
1 long sleeved
1 uniform trousers
stripes
uniform shoes
3 boiler suits
safety boots
ear defenders
10pr (ish) undies
10pr (ish) socks
couple of pairs of shorts
couple or so nice t-shirts
7 ER t-shirts (even then I liked wearing a t-shirt under my boiler suit)
long sleeved top
1 pr jeans (maybe)
remember you have gear on when you join and witha quick wash they are good for going ashore in
wash gear for 3 months
contact lenses for 3 months
sweets
that was about it
oh and towel (H2G2 !!)
Flip-flops / sandals
trainers
hand luggage had the cd wallet (pre mp3 player) cd player, extension speakers and any other bits and bobs
really think some people bring way to much crap with them
