How many luggage can I check-in Australia?

How many bags can I check in Australia? Ugh, this baggage allowance stuff is the WORST, right? Seriously, it’s always such a headache!

So, I was looking into it, and if I’m flying Premium Economy within Australia – remember that, important detail! – it seems I can check in either two bags, each up to 50 pounds, or three if they’re all under 70 pounds each. See, that’s already confusing, isn’t it? Two bags at 50 pounds or three under 70? I always end up overthinking it, like, what if one bag is 51 pounds and I’m stuck paying extra? You know that feeling?

Business class is apparently a bit better – three bags up to 70 pounds each. Still, that feels a bit tight, doesn’t it? I mean, I remember that trip to Tasmania, I swear I needed at least four bags for all my hiking gear and souvenirs! My poor partner, hauling my stuff – ha! Speaking of which, he almost never travels light, himself. It’s always a wrestling match with the scales at check-in. Makes me wonder, are the airlines just trying to be tricky? Trying to squeeze extra cash out of us?

I just wish it was simpler. Like, one standard weight allowance for everyone, regardless of class, or maybe, gasp, unlimited baggage for everyone – a girl can dream, can’t she? Seriously though, does anyone else feel like they’re constantly stressing about this? I’m pretty sure my blood pressure rises at every check-in counter!
