they weighed our cases together aswell Babyamy.
we made sure we packed our scales in the outer pocket of the last case just in case we needed them....but lady luck was on our side.
we too dumped any sort of toiletries so should have easily been under weight. i mean how much can
3 new handbags
a dozen or so new t-shirts
5 pairs of new sandals
2 pairs of new trainers
1 pair of mens shoes (not to mention the partridge in a pear tree)
weigh????
good job we wore the new jackets home eh? flippin heck it was hot at Dalaman wearing a 3/4 length fleece.
if we'd have been over i'd have put blame on my husband for daring to have new shoes! Hee Hee
Happy Holidays

20kg and 5kg hand luggage Our hand luggage was weighed on one occasion in 8 times flying with Onur Air.
We have just returned from Marmaris flying with Monarch, there was 8 of us and all 8 were couple of kilos over but no charge at Dalaman and our hand luggage wasn't even looked at at check in, never mind wieghed!
yes uk airports are expensive but they wouldn't dare charge the prices at dalaman. As for excess baggage make sure your not overweight, how many of the clothes your wife packs does she actually wear?
this should be on the travellers a list
no problems at dalaman last night/this morning. We were 8kgs under our 40kgs so we were fine but the check in operator did say straight away you are over 30kg ( we were with Thomas Cook) and I said yes but we have 20kg each and she said 'oh yes of course'. Easy mistake to make but they are eager to over charge. The girl next to me was 1kg over and she was charged!
Flew back yeaterday morning no problems with excessive weight & took our own food and drink through so didnt spend a penny in Dalaman.
It was a night flight, so we had dinner as normal in marmaris & then just took a couple of bottles of water with us. We were caught out on our first return from Dalaman....never again.
we had dinner too before we went as I had heard on here about the prices. How can they get away with that? It leaves a sour taste in your mouth after spending time in such a lovely country and then they treat you like that in the airport! It was just when I saw the sign, 26 lira for a big mac I could have fainted lol
My handbag was stolen from our apartments in Turkey and luckily a kind family gave us a bag of bread, ham, cheese, crisps and coke to take to the airport with us. It was a life saver, especially as there are no meals on Onur Air. I dont mind paying slightly over the odds (breakfast at Cardiff airport on the way out), but Dalaman is a rip off.
12 lira for a small sandwhich I could go on. Its exploitation of the tourist. What shocked me was people were actually buying the Mcdonalds food!
I know - I had been warned it was expensive, but I was honestly shocked at just how much off a rip-off all the food outlets at Dalaman were. I was amazed to see one family, who had about five or six kids, all sitting down with a whole load of stuff from McDonalds - they must have needed to take out a mortgage to afford it!
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1164 priced at $10.84 which worked out at £6.07, free delivery. I ordered them last wednesday evening and they came today!!. Just short of a week ~ I'm well impressed and at least now will have some idea as to how much weight I have in my cases rather than trying to guess. I always come very close to allowance if not over!!

I agree with Maverick57uk. I saw a post on here about those digital scales. I ordered some from Cally. ~x~
What a great gadget, easy to take on hols with you if you go somewhere like the US and bring back loads of stuff. Thanks Callygirl.

Just got my tickets yesterday from Thomas Cook and noticed that the ticket had a 20kg baggage allowance, I did not take the extra 5kg and was quite happy with the 15kg. Has anyone else received tickets from Thomas Cook with 20 kg on the tickets but had not added the extra cost for 5kg to their holiday price? Flying from bristol airport to Dalaman on the 15th September.

If your ticket says 20kg you get 20kg. Im just back from a Thomas cook flight, didn't pay the extra for the 5 kg and my tickets stated 20 kg. I also didn't pay for a meal and also recieved one. (Thomas cook always give me a meal when I haven't paid for one lol). Also my sister just recieved her tickets from Thomas Cook and her say 20kg and she didn't pay for more baggage either. Enjoy your 20kg!
