Some great info from Monarch. I like the fact they have increased hold allowance by 3kg to a maximum of 26kg.

Re cling film wrap.  There is nothing to stop people wrapping their own luggage in cling film.  A roll of this stuff would easily wrap a suitcase. The cost of wrapping suitcases in this stuff at the airport is cost prohibitive. Do it yourself.

Having these machines in airports is like having a big sign saying "some of the staff here you entrust your possessions to are thieves".

Very sad.

Problem with this is, if you do it before you reach the airport, they may ask you to open you case at the Airport.  ;)

Take the clingfilm with you and wrap it at the airport.

They could ask you to open your case if you'd used the airport machine too?

I saw this quite a lot travelling to and from Thailand. It seems quite the norm in the far east and middle east.

Its also import to check your insurance, we checked ours with Lloyds bank and our gadgets (personal possesions) are NOT covered in the hold only if they stay in the cabin!.
