Mdollar,

Lugagge allowances vary per airline. You'll need to clarify things with the airline / who you booked with. You're going to Cuba with Thomas Cook aren't you? If you booked with Thomas Cook directly, unless you opted for the extra 5kg of allowance, your hold allowance is 15kg with a 5kg hand luggage allowance per person. If you booked with Direct Holidays, your hold allowance might be 20kg per person, depending on what you booked. Everything will be printed on your tickets.

Thanks Darren, Yes we're going to Cuba and as far as I know my mother booked with TC directly. I'm presuming she opted for the extra 5KG allowance as I spoke to her last night and she said it was 20KG per person so I'm trusting she's got it right, which she usually always is lol.

As Dazbo said your HOLD luggage will be 15kg minimum or perhaps 20kg PER PERSON, i got the impression that you are thinking that its 20kg for ALL four of you in just one case!!!
PS. liking the madonna!

Thanks Andy! Yes I did initially think it was 20KG for all of us in one case until I read the posts lol..I haven't flown for 8 years so I'm really out of touch with what you can/can't take and how much.

Hi,

A while back someone put up a link for all the airlines baggage allowances, I can't find it anywhere

could anyone put up the link again, thank you.

Mi$$y,

I don't remember seeing that. It varies per airline and sometimes per destination so it's difficult to put a specific list together. For charters, it's either 15kg, 20kg, 23kg, 25kg or 30kg! It's always best to check with the airline you're flying with do make sure you have the latest information. It also various by travel class.

Darren

I notice that many airlines, including Thomas Cook now only allow 5kg hand luggage free and the rest you have to pay for. However, if you book the same flight through Lowcost, which is the same basic price as booking direct with the airline, if not cheaper, this automatically includes £32 of luggage allowance.

Its that long since I took aerosols, but got mozzy aerosols this time. can these go in the case please

Moved and merged to existing topic in flights forum.

bejay,

You can take everything in your case. It's only hand luggage where you have restrictions.

Darern

Thanks Dazbo was really concerned, used to put aerosols in hand luggage long time ago. Never bothered with aerosols for a long time.

Might seem like a daft request , but I am going away in a few days with some friends, they are celebrating a special occasion while we are away, I have seen the helium balloons in a flat plastic pack , I would love to take one to put on thier balcony!! somebody mentioned I should check if it will be ok to take on plane, any ideas?

Can't see a problem Shirley if it's not inflated, but how will you inflate it when you get to Goa?

Denny

Take loads of them then your luggage will be lighter!
