In case you're heading home, you need more baggage allowance - all the more - since you have to fit not only your things but also those presents that you buy for your family and friends. And sometimes, 30kg is too less.
But, don't worry. Here's good news for you, if you are bound for home in India, Pakistan or the Philippines from Dubai.
