Baggage allowance

What is my baggage allowance for package holidays?

For those travelling on package holidays, the baggage allowance on board our airline for checked-in luggage is usually 20kg (44lbs) per person. For Premier holidays the allowance is 23kg (50.6Ibs). No single item of luggage may exceed 23kg (50.6Ibs).

Children under the age of two on the date of their return flight, will receive an individual luggage allowance of 10kg (22Ibs). At present, carriage of infant pushchairs and buggies is free of charge and will not be counted as part of the parents’ baggage allowance.

Please note, customers booking Skytours, 2wentys and Just holidays, as well as customers booking within 60 days of departure, may have a reduced baggage allowance of 15kg (33lbs) per person. Please check this on the Holiday Price page at the time of booking. An additional 5kg (11lbs) allowance can be selected at the time of booking for an extra charge of £10 per person (this must be purchased for the whole party travelling).

What is my baggage allowance for flight-only bookings?

All flight-only customers are entitled to a free hand luggage allowance of up to 5kg. Customers wishing to check in luggage may do so for a small charge by selecting the option whilst making a booking. A maximum of 5 items of luggage can be pre-booked by each passenger. Prices start from £16 return (£8 each way) per item for shorthaul routes, £20 return (£10 each way) for midhaul routes, and £30 return (£15 each way) for longhaul flights.*

 

Each passenger who has opted to pay for check in luggage has a total allowance of 20kg per person, irrespective of the number of bags checked in. Please note that each item may not exceed 20kg without excess baggage charges being levied. Any single item of checked-in luggage must not exceed 23kg, as this exceeds the recommended guidelines for airport baggage handlers to lift.

 

Each passenger may also take one piece of hand luggage weighing up to 5kg on board (Max. dimensions: 55cm x 40cm x 20cm).

 

Customers choosing to book a Premium Seat (on selected flights) will enjoy an inclusive check in baggage allowance. Premium seats include a total of 30kg baggage allowance (a maximum of 23kg can be checked in to the hold and up to 7kg can be taken on board).

How can I increase my baggage allowance?

If you are a First Choice Premier customer, or if you upgrade to the Premier cabin on a flight with our in-house airline, your baggage allowance will be increased to 23kg (50.6lbs).

On selected flights where cargo space is minimal, your baggage allowance will be reduced to 15kg (33lbs), with 5kg (11lbs) optional top-ups available to purchase at the time of booking. If this is the case, it will be stated on the website before you book. You will be given the option to increase your baggage allowance during the booking process. Limited cargo space will also be stated on your booking summary and email confirmation.
