Thats it we always fly with Onur but when we went in April it was a last minute thing my daughter was off colledge and said do you fancy a week away flights were expensive but hotel cheap so we did.
We are flying with Onur in May and have been over with them and not charged i can judge the weight and yes it was a bit over but not loads i would say a charge off £20 and that was it
Going out mine case was 13kg my daughter 12kg and her friend 13kg thats with all toileries sun creams the lot in them that how i no we were ripped off
We travelled light has my daughter and her friend bought cheap tops over there for on a night time and both bought two pairs off jeans each one pair they travelled home in
The other pair was in the hand luggage also 2 pairs off shoes each also in hand luggage which he didnt even asked if we had any.
Sorry my grips over now going to get ready going to see a male stripper cheer me up
Just returned and no baggage excess applied to my flight with Onur Air we were 8kgs overwight and did expect to pay the £5 per kg overweight charge with Onur Air, I did notice on a Thomson and a First choice flight that people were being charged £6 per kg excess, Be carefull those of you travelling you have been warned once again.
I`ve got me self a spring balance/fishing scale to take with me,was only £3 on ebay
I don't know what it is re Dalaman and other airports. You go on holiday to Turkey and whichever resort you are going to you are met with such kindness, friendship and people who genuinely want you to have a great holiday yet ALL the staff employed at airports can't crack a smile and are out to rip you off the first opportunity they get. Weird.
SandC, Perhaps the reason why the staff are as you sugest non smilers, Is that they are not payed enough money for the Job, Remember also that most of these people in Turkey dont get good wages work around 12 hours a day 7 days a week and only get the opportunity to work for 6 months then owners downsize the workforce, Also consider the unfavourable remarks from customers purchasing food etc, I for one would never ever wish to work in that conditions.
Whilst accepting that the wages in Turkey don't match out own, the cost of living is probably a quarter, if that, of ours, (dont expect they have to pay 250K for a small semi). I would imagine in the pecking order of jobs out there an airport one probably isn't that bad. Presumably it is a 'government job' so relatively secure.
Everybody the world over knows working with the general public is a nightmare, loads of people do it in many countrys, but you know what you are getting into when you apply.
There are 3 of us (self hubby and son) going at the end of mAY We each have a baggage allowance but I usually just take 2 cases so its easier to retrieve at the other end Do we still get allowed 3X£20kgs or will they only allow 2X20kgs because it is in 2 cases? Just wondering
fingers crossed we within the 20 kgs we are leaving in a few hours going to get hubby to weight cases before we leave so i know how much i can buy approx for return lol
fionay, This depends if you have paid for your sons Airline ticket, Iwould think your total allowance would be 60kg for all three providing you have paid for your sons seat, Email the company concerned for verifacation on this, Or look on your Invoice as it clearly states on that what your allowance per person is.
he has a baggage allowance same as us as he is 9 years and I paid the same for his ticket as I did ours Its just I have heard of people being told that an individual bag/case can't be over the allowance(ie one case 30kg one case 10kg) which would mean I would need to take 3 cases to be sure of gettting 3x allowance
It depends on the regulations of the airline you are travelling with. Refer to the specific airline threads.

fionay ,just be carefull ,if you are allowed 60 and you split that between two cases ,you still have to make sure each case is within the weght limit to be handled ,or the baggage handlers can refuse to lift them ,best to check with your airline .You will see some cases being tagged with an orange sticker this is to let the handlers know that it is heavier so they know to lift it with more care.
Seems daft to me as for years I have had 4 allowances, but only bothered to take three lightly larger cases. But things have changed for some reason.
i think the maximum weight per case is now 32 kgs under the regulations i think dazza will varifiy this
It's not so much about the maximum weight per case, as what specific tour operators are now saying. ie thomas cook giving allowances of 15k per person and no pooling of allowances.
A can of Fanta was 1 euro on the transfer bus and 4 or 5 euro at the airport. A few weeks of no customers at all would soon sort that problem out but there will always be a few people daft enough to pay those outrageous prices.
someone poted a link for argos, and some luggage weights they do...£5.99 i think they were.....and now i cant find it, and i cant find them on the argos site or book.....
can anyone remeber where the post is please?
karen xx
I think you can get them on ebay Karen
yeah, gunny got some from e bay, but the argos ones didnt have a sharp hook, meaning i could have them in my hand luggage at dalaman, and then if they say i am too heavy, i can show them on my scales......i wont pay rip off excess prices if i am not over weight..
i cant find the link anywhwere, and i remeber clicking on it, i wrote the number down, then lost the numbers.....
I think its important for us to remember that when the queues are going slow there may be someone at the front fighting not to be unfairly overcharged & by them doing that they are making it better for all of us.
