Is there such a thing as a minimum baggage requirement?

I was looking at some last minute deals, in my local travel agent's window.

It's got all the usual stuff, such as prices are based on 2 people sharing a room, transfers included, etc.

However, it also says "Minimum 15kg of baggage".

Minimum :huh:

    You could pay extra for more.
  • I suspect it's a typo and it is supposed to say maximum.
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!
  • That's what I thought browneyedbazzi, but I thought I'd check.

    Or the sign could be accurate and it means that the price includes 15kg luggage but there is an option to pay for more.

    I know Olympic Holidays generally include 15kg luggage in their prices but you can buy 5kg more for £xx.

    The only way to find out is to ask. ;)

    Now we live in the days 'hand luggage only flight', the TA just seems to be promoting the fact that a minimum of 15KG of luggage (presumably per person) is included in the price displayed.
