Thomas Cook Weight allowances

[Scunner]

You'll need to book another 20kg for that journey too. It could be worse, when we were moving stuff back to the UK from Turkey we were flying out almost weight free but needing to pay for the empty suitcases as we needed them to fill for the journey back One time we had one suitcase which we had to pay for which only had one thing in it - a slightly smaller empty suitcase

Ok thanks Scunner I thought that would be the "case" ha, but did not want to waste £20 if I did not need to!

It was a question I could answer quickly. An open and shut case

Boom boom

Weight allowances and prices they charge if you go over are getting ridiculous these days, as someone has mentioned before back in the day my suitcase always weighed around 27 kilos and my hand luggage around 10 kilos. These days, I buy all my shampoo, conditioners, shower gels etc etc in Boots (still got the advance points), once Im through security, i also where as much of my dress jewellery as possible going through (ladies you know the deal with this, all those bangles etc can be fairly weighty) so id rather put them all on going and coming back to save weight. It infuriates me how they charge for just 1 or 2 kilos over. I used to be able to fly to Turkey, with extra legroom (being 6ft, extra legroom is a must) a weighty suitcase all for about £150 from Stansted oh and get fed on the flight!... Oh the good ol days
