Thomas Cook hand luggage

[Liz 101]

I flew from Gatwick yesterday afternoon & above all the Thomas Cook check in desks was the message that handbags & laptops would be included in the 5kgs hand luggage allowance Whilst still in the queue, I managed to put some heavier items into coat pockets etc   I may well have got away with it, but given that my hold luggage was to the limit (20kgs exactly!) I didn't want to take the risk

It has always been that with us but usually depends who is on the desk

has anyone flown with Thomas Cook recently I just wondered whether they are weighing hand luggage at the mo, my cabin case weighs 2.6 kilos with nothing in it so if they are weighing I may have to find a different bag  :)thanks for any replies.

Ha ha Liz. I have done that before. i once stuffed a small Xmas cake in one coat pocket and a packet of eccles cakes in the other.

T.C. have always had the rule "one piece of hand luggage only and it must be no more than 5 kilos"   We use them all the time, sometimes they check it, sometimes they weigh it, other times they don't bother, it's the luck of the draw, but best to be safe and just abide by the rules.
