Iowa Guy Burner Express Bag Question

Post by super schafe » Wed Aug 02, 2023 4:06 pm

Hey!!

I'm flying to Reno then riding in with someone. I'm taking the Burner Express out to Reno. I bought my Express ticket already with the 2 standard allowed bags. I realized after the fact that I will be flying with 2 checked bags plus a standard roll aboard and a personal item. That puts me needing to put 3 bags under the bus and the personal item as my carry on.

Is there a way to add an extra bag to my Burner Express ticket? Can you purchase the extra bag add-on at the station or somewhere else on the playa?

Alternatively, is there a simple way to locate someone during the event who is from Iowa and might be able to drive a bag home for me? I tried the Iowa Burners FB page and was never accepted into the group.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, $40 each way to double the luggage.

In the FAQ:

https://help.burningman.org/hc/en-us/ar ... can-bring-

For travel between Reno and BRC you have the option to pay a $40 fee each way to bring an additional two pieces of luggage (for a total of four pieces of luggage and one carry-on item) no larger than 62 linear inches each or weighing more than 50lbs.
They do close the office on the 16th so hustle up.

Yep. I've seen that. My issue is that I've already bought the standard ticket with 2 included bags. I now need to add one more.
