How many Bags?

[SparrowLegs]

Hi,

Flying out this Friday with Thomas Cook to Barbados to join the Ventura, baggage allowance 23kgs pp plus small cabin bag 5kg pp. Didnt give it much thought untill I just got the cases down, we have a matched set of 3 cases and 2 cabin bags, all fit in the large case for storage, great. Problem is the 3 cases are of differant size obviously and hold different ammounts. Just to be sure I was ok to take the 3 cases totalling 46 kgs, I tried unsuccessfully to contact TC at Manchester airport, so I tried my local TC branch and they assured me it would be ok. I then contacted Gills who I booked the cruise with and they tell me that only one piece of luggage each will be allowed. I told them what TC had told me and it appears if you book with TC you can take more than one piece of luggage.

My understanding is that P&O control the amount of baggage and not TC as the whole plane is chartered by P&O.

I was told by P&O - 1 case each not exceeding 23Kg (don't think you can even pay for excess weight). I hand luggage bag each not exceeding 5KG and not larger than 43cm x 28cm x 23cm. If a lady takes a handbag it must go into one of the handluggage bags.

There are lots of posts on here about the situation if you search through - some peeps have been checked for HL and some haven't - just your luck I think.

Hi

Thanks for that, I will just take the two cases, if the middle size does not take 23kg I'll get the old ones down out of the attic no problem.

You reminded me why I don't fly-cruise! I am such a heavy packer, can't imagine how you all do it!
