    LOL

    Yeah this is the ''case'' now

    All airlines will charge you unless your doing a package holiday where some will offer 15kgs or sometimes 20kgs

    But if its flight and accom seperately they do charge

    A lot of it depends on who you are flying with, big name package some sort of hold luggage included in price, big name flight only pay for luggage or 10kg hand luggage only. Which as you are going for 10 days you will need bubble bath, shampoo, sun lotion etc all of which will cost you more than £16 to purchase abroad and you cant take more than a little clear bag of liquids in your hand luggage i would consider it a bargain. As for low cost carriers their luggage allowances are a mine field, im not sure that any 2 carriers have the same rules!!!

    Sorry Del but just checked TC for Bristol to Corfu on 25th Sep for 10 nights and it seems there is availability.I even tried for 9 people and when right through to payment stage so the seats are still there.

  • Sorry Del, You're wrong.

    There is an Easyjet flight Bristol to Corfu, 25th Sept for 10nts.

    What system do you use as a 5 second search brought that up on mine?
  • Yep, Sloppychops is right, there is also a TC flight on this day but for some reason it shows on the TC website but not on the travel agents viewdata system.

    I would imagine its the Easyjet flight the OP has been quoted on though seeing as they've been offered luggage for £16 - although thats not a "special offer" as they've been told it's simply the price Easyjet charge for checked luggage!

    OP, it might be worth checking Travel Republic as they are often very competetive on packages involving Easyjet flights.
