I am now in a panic situation.
We are flying from U.S. to Paris on Continental which allows 3 checked bags apiece.
3 days later (not a connecting flt.) we are flying Air France Paris to Athens, there 2 days, then on to Med. Cruise for 13 days returning to U.S. from London on Continental.
Have just found that in Europe luggage is charged by the pound. 50lbs.free per person (100 for 2) after that $120 for each additional 20lbs.
I estimate my extra charge to be approx. $1,000 and cannot cut the amount I am bringing.
Any suggestions as to how I might get 4 suitcases (I will not need these in Paris) from Paris to Hotel in Athens for when I arrive there.
Thanks for any advice!
How to get luggage from Paris to Athen??

This is only a suggestion since I don't know. I assume you are only needing all of this stuff for the cruise...so maybe you can just send it directly to the ship. It would be worth checking at least to see. The cruise line should be able to help you. I'm sure it will still cost you a lot however. Hope you have a great time.
