    Thomas Cook is 5Kg for carry on.


    If you can't pack enough for each of you in 4 cases of 15kg each plus 5kg carry on then you need to take a look at what's going with you...


    Throw out half the clothes and chuck in a box of travel wash and a travel iron.


    When we are packed with everything we need for a fortnight and a little bit more, our cases weigh about 9kg each, hand luggage is negligible it is only a book and documents and spare underwear.

    My case weights nearly 5 kilos alone, how do you have a 9 kilo packed case?

    If you book the Thomson platinum (or is it premier) holidays you get 23 kilos & 7 kilos carry on:D
    Loads;)

    We finally decided to go with 2 cases, got 2 soft type ones which are supposed to be the lightest ones around, just hope they don't get ripped on the conveyor belts, wouldn't want my "smalls" all over the place. :eek: Anyway, only 3 days left now till we go.:A

    If it reassures you in anyway, we've gone down that route for years, and nothing has ever gone amiss/go damaged. It may be a good idea to pack anything delicate/electrical in the middle of the bag and wrap it with clothing.
    It also makes loading the car a lot easier.

    Have a great holiday.
