Hi, can anyone tell me if as we are a family of 6 each having a luggage allowance, are we still able to pool the allowance between us? We've always taken one large case (which ends up with one of those Heavy Item stickers on) then three or four other cases as the kids things are all in together with ours. Just read a post on another thread which had me thinking that this has changed since we last went abroad two years ago.

Just going to have a look on the Thomson site but wondered if anyone here could offer any advice?

You can no longer pool your luggage max case weight is now 23kg.
Baggage allowances are per person and cannot be pooled across a party (i.e. 25kg for one passenger and 15kg for the other). Hope this helps.

So the luggage policy is different between package holidays and flight only, interesting!

What exactly is the new Thomson Airways livery like?

Nothing has changes as yet. The former First Choice and Thomsonfly aircraft are still in the same old livery. A couple of the newer 737-800's have had the fly bit of Thomsonfly removed. apart from that, no change. A new livery hasn't been announced. I suspect there'll be no change from the current Tui based livery and aircraft will just get Thomson titles.

As mentioned above, there was a change in policy regarding the pooling of luggage on package holidays in May 2009. You can now pool luggage as long as no suitcase weights more than 23kg (they are strict on this as it's a health and safety regulation). All passengers pooling luggage must be on the same booking.

That's a pretty good deal when you consider it's normally £250, providing you want the extra seat pitch and the bits and pieces that go with it.

That is the old policy in effect up to end of April 2009, and they haven't removed the page for some reason. Check-in staff have confirmed you can pool luggage as my post above. If in doubt, call the airline for confirmation.
