Any Airline Connections?

Good morning lovely volunteers, whew, I hope you didn't get blown away last night with the winds in Muscat? 

I am giving a call out to anyone that might be able to help with a contact in the airline industry. 




Our Lebanon distribution is going ahead in two weeks time and we are trying to get some help with reducing our airline /  baggage charges. 

Our airlines choices are Qatar Airways, Etihad, Emirates or Gulf Air. Each has it's pros and cons.

400 kits weighs approx. 175kg. 

We really want to take the bags on with us as excess baggage as cargo has been known to "go missing" at the other end recently and customs can be tricky, so we were cautioned by the NGO in Beirut to have it with us. 


Excess baggage charges PER KG are ...
Qatar 5.5 rial
Emirates is 9 rial
Etihad is 42 rial per 23kg bag. (looking to be the best price, however the flight timings/  connections are not great)
Gulf Air 5 rial 


So ladies, does anyone have any "friends" in high places that might be able to give us a discount or reduction in baggage fees? PLEASE can you contact me ASAP if you are able to assist. 

Many thanks
