    Call them and pay whatever advance fee is needed.

    Turn up at the airport and pay whatever fee is due on the day (usually more).

    Travel light with allowable hand luggage rammed with clothes and pay nothing.

    The 10kg hand baggage allowance has potential.

    Don't turn up with at the airport with it. You will pay through the nose.

    If you have a Monarch booking reference, you can add luggage online. If not, you will probably have to get Lowcostholidays to do it for you.

    If the flight has a 'zb' prefix, the hand luggage allowance is 10kg. If it is 'mon', it's only 5kg.

    You can sort with Monarch via their Facebook page. As you have booked through a third party you cannot sort on the Monarch web site.

    Did they tell you luggage was included in the cost of the holiday? As this is a frequent thing with them to get more money out of you!!
