Thomson's Baggage Allowance

(1/4) > >>

Jimbo:
I've just discovered that Thomson have reduced the baggage allowance from 20Kg - which it was in July - to a standard 15Kg.

So - if like us - you're going back after an earlier trip, be aware that you may be clobbered at the airport if you don't pay the extra in advance.

Charge for the extra kilos taken away is £28 per person! B*******!

Do you mean what the extra is if unbooked Jimbo?? Taken from the website

Pre-booked kilos are much cheaper than the charges you’ll face at the desk. Prices start at £15 for 5kg

Jimbo:
On-line booking the extras before departure was £14 per person EACH WAY. Gillie reckons it's £10 per kilo at the airport.

I guess we're helping them to reduce the £243 million operating loss TUI Plc made over the last year!

BAJ:
We had booked this years August trip back in August 2011, and at the time of booking noticed it was 15kgs. As there are four of us and we only usually take 3 cases, we thought that would be okay, which it was.... Just.
However whilst keeping an eye on the prices over the following months  ( to ensure booking early had been the right thing to do) the allowance had gone back up to 20kgs.
Looks like it's something Thomsons is doing when they discount the overall holiday cost, as Jim says another way for Thomsons to up the final cost alongwith paying to reserve the seat you have already paid for!

Jimbo:
I think they modified it for bookings after mid June.

They used to show the baggage allowance on the booking pages, but there is now no reference at all except if you check on My Thomson, where it appears to be a standard 15Kg.
