Joanna and her friend are have just checked in at Glasgow on route to Turkey. They got their cases weighed together, were one kilo over between them and were charged £5 by Aegean

They must've got a right sour puss on the desk:D

Some of them are so miserable Anne. They are probably monitored on how many they charge, bet they hate doing it really.
Or maybe not!
I was 2 kilos under when flying out in June but 3 kilos over coming back, (don't know how as I left lots of stuff behind), I flew with TC but they never charged me, think they felt sorry for me as I was last person checking in! Either that or they sympathised as my flight was delayed 4 hours! [

Think you were lucky Jenny T.C. where charging £12.00 for every kilo over when we came back in June.

first choice/thomson also charge £12 a kilo that you are over.

it's not the cost that amused me so much as the one kilo

Think I must have been lucky Anne, but won't be travelling with TC again in a hurry, last 3 times I have travelled with them I have been delayed a long time, and always in the middle of the night-my worst nightmare!!

Anne why not weigh the cases before leaving home [?] dead simple

Jacqui Harvey · « **Reply #8 on:** July 25, 2010, 09:21:13 AM »

Like Kenkay we weigh the cases before we leave and we have a scales in our place in Calis to weigh when we return.. Usually lighter when we come back as we always take stuff over with us for the house.
I agree with Bewva, it's easy if you live in England to take your pick of airlines, not so in Scotland. T.C. are now the only Company that fly out of Aberdeen since Globespan went bust.

Aw don't say that? They have tiniest sitting space EVER! I only have little legs and they were touching the seat in front, I had an aisle seat and had a fidgety man sitting next to me, drove me mental, we were silently fighting for the arm rest!

Pegasus all the way for me from now on, hopefully!
