Denny.53 thanks for your response. Would I be correct in assuming that your hand luggage is weighed when you check in. Apologies for the daft question, it's just that I normally fly short haul (hand luggage only) where it's not weighed just have to make sure my bag is the correct size and that I can lift it into the overhead lockers.

I had my hand luggage weighed when we flew longhaul in March, but I've had it weighed on short haul as well.

scoya,

The weighing of hand luggage is becoming more common, especially when travelling with hand luggage only. Passengers may try and get around paying baggages charges by putting everything in hand luggage, hence the weighing of hand luggage. If your hand luggage looks heavy, then it's likely to be weighed. If it's only a small bag and obviously under weight, then it probably won't. As long as you stay within your limits, you've nothing to worry about.

Exactly as Darren says, sometimes they look at your hand luggage, sometimes they weigh it, sometimes they don't give it a second glance!
You can carry your duty free seperate from your hand luggage and I imagine as long as you don't have several carrier bags full of bottles nothing will be said.

The aircraft operating LGW-SSH-LGW (TOM536/7) should be operating to Palma (TOM4230/1) before your flight.

welshy0151,

All the latest is on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). It won't be operating long haul until November 2012 so you'll be on the usual 767-300/ER.

Getting paranoid about 767 long haul situation as my holiday in Kenya gets ever nearer - noticed that Man -Mombasa flight last night was on short haul version of the plane.Has another one of the long haul planes gone "technical"?? Really can't imagine flying for 8+ hours with my knees under my chin!! :cry

Remember, prior to 2008, this was the norm with Thomson and Thomas Cook, 2005 with First Choice. It's not ideal, but not as bad as you imagine. I've done 10 hours across the pond quite a few times on them and survived! Scheduled carriers offer a similar experience on a daily basis. All ex-FCA aircraft are operational that I can see but there are delays so G-OBYH might have been used to catch-up. All of the flights through July from LGW-MBA (TOM076/7) have been operated with the scheduled aircraft so no need to worry as it may never happen.
