SiSiSi Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Can your 23kg be made up of more than one bag? ie. 15kg in one and 8kg in the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barleycorn Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Can your 23kg be made up of more than one bag? ie. 15kg in one and 8kg in the other? Generally you can take one item of hand luggage and one item of hold luggage. Your hand luggage is usually on a size restriction and rarely gets weighed so stuff as much crap into it as you can. go over on your checked in luggage and your looking at pretty hefty fees to cover the excess. For the avoidance of doubt you should check with which ever airline you are traveling with. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansheff Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Depends when we went the other year and opted for 25kg was told that you can only put about 22 or 23kg in one case or it is too heavy so you have to use 2 cases or bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunzi Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Its not an airport luggage allowance, its an airline luggage allowance. Each can differ quite a lot. Check the rules of the airline you're flying with, they should publish them on their website. Just as a point of reference, and to show that they do differ (from what people have said above), on my last flight I could take 32kg, over as many bags as I wished, but one bag could weigh no more than 29kg. Excess baggage fees are harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansheff Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 You were lucky with 29kg, when we checked in at Thomson we had to take some things out of one case as they said the baggage handlers cannot lift over 23kg I think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I said to check. I had one bag that was 27kg and one that was 18kg. Thankfully my company was paying for my relocation, so the £650 additional baggage fee was covered by them.

BananaSplit Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Is it Jet2? If so, it's only one hold bag per person upto the weight given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angilaruk Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'd be careful with the hand luggage too. A lot of airlines only allow 5kg in you hand luggage, so when checking in wear a jacket with lots of pockets that you can stuff so you don't overgo the allowance <wink> Angi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
