I still think Speedy Boarding is a joke - we did it one year and loads more who didn't pay, got on the transfer bus with us and beat us to it!!!

Just like paying for seats together we always get them anyway.

I agree - we get well conned by these greedy airlines, as long as you are not the last few to check in - not a problem.
The biggest con was our holiday to Dalyan, via Dalaman Airport turkey, last october. Thomas cook flight, booked via another company.
Because of this they made it impossible to pre-pay for extra luggage - which was v/expensive anyway!! We took minimal clothing etc.
Seemed very well priced, until the return. We were only allowed 15Kg. for a 2 week holiday - almost impossible to stick to.
We copped a £35 charge coming home. They caught almost everyone - and quite nasty with it - I did laugh when a group of girls,
pulled back (no money left), and put on about 6 layers of clothing each to escape the charges!!
Thomas Cook - you should be ashamed of yourselves - 20kg should always be the base limit - most suitcases weigh 3.5Kg before you even start!
I now avoid them like the plague!!

We got stung by them last year but were perplexed as we were underweight going out but over coming back. We had even dumped books, toiletries etc before packing for the return journey.  The "funny" part was that receipts were given but anyone could have been using them.... NO Company logo etc. The expanation given eas that it was a full crackdown by the airport? Baggage handling company - possibly. Greedy tour operator - definitely. The personnel taking the money - Thomas Cook reps. Is it their SCAM or the company? I have my opinion!

We bought a little lightweight scale for suitcases - brilliant - so we knew we were a little over - but it was a big rip-off!!
