New Baggage Allowance??????????

almond

rang my travel yesterday for my daughter travelling to crete today
was told luggage allowance now 25kgs, she has rang to say
she has been charge £6per kgs this morning only 2kgs over each
but everybody at check in is in the same boat, since the rule on hand
luggage was reversed yesterday, so if anybody is going in the next couple
of days be careful, ring the airline to confirm.
I know she should have re packed last night but was worried incase it changed again.

I called thomson on Friday to ask the same question adn was told no allowance was to be made so I booked an extra 5kg for me - Saturday up appears a message on their website to say baggage allowance increased to 25kg - how amused was I.......

A friend of mine travelled from Heathrow to Dubai on Etihad Airways on Saturday and he was telling me that although the hold luggage allowance was 20KG, they were letting passengers take as much as they wanted. The family infront of him were 30kg overweight and they didnt ask any questions. I think that they are so busy dealing with backlogs that it would be silly for airlines to waste more time by arguing with passengers.

So if you can buy stuff once you are past check in. How much is a bottle of water at Gatwick? :cool:

No idea, but expect to be kicked in the wallet for it.

BAA must be making a fortune out of this.

I'm not sure if they have a Boots at Gatwick. I think Heathrow has one. Anyway they have a special offer on their own brand of mineral water. Two 500ml bottles for 99p.

I was just taking cabin baggage with Ryanair so haven't paid for luggage. Does anyone know if I can still take the larger size case which will now have to go in the hold without having to pay extra now or at the airport?

They were waiving the fee but I don't know if they still are.
