[scotty123]

Have you thought of getting them couriered back to Blighty.There a few firms doing it

No time now we fly 5am in morning, just have to bight the bullet, cheers though

I think you are just going to have bite the bullet and pay the scandalous charges for additional bags. You should have a pretty solid case to claim the additional charges on your holiday insurance though? Worth giving them a call to see what the score is.

It's only money and your wife's health is much more important.

Your right her health is much more important, i will pay the scandalous charges but what is equally scandalous is the amount of gear that women travel around with, i have never seen so many shoes in one suitcase, theyr nuts

we was flying to Paphos once as my mate was getting married over there, he had to pay extra because his baggage was too heavy..I was behind him in the queue and his future Mrs wasn't very happy as it turned out he'd packed a shitload of Heinz beans. He fuckin' loves beans and couldn't even go to his own wedding without taking them. He sometimes lurks around on here so hello Pommy if you're reading pal.

We are in Corfu at the moment and will have to cut our holiday short due to Mrs Underpants being ill, we flew out with Jet2 and we cannot get back with them so we have booked on Thomas Cook.
Jet2 allow you22kg of baggage in the hold and 10kg hand luggage, Thomas Cook allow you 15kg hold and 5kg hand luggage WTF!
Seeing as though we should have been here a month and the Mrs being a typical woman she has brought her wardrobe and every electrical device known to man so we are going to struggle with the Thomas Cook allowances, why are there such variations between airlines, we decided fuck it why worry just pay for the extra at check in, i am pissed off though

It will be miles cheaper booking an extra bag they will charge you £15 for every kilo you are over at the airport so if you had full allowance for 2 going out it will cost you £360.

Yes Pommy if you are reading this heres a tip, you can buy Heinz beans by the shed load in Paphos, you were not going to a 3rd world country, brilliant story though lol

Mrs away with family at the mo. I sorted it and T. Cook flights to Paphos have an allowance of 20kg. Different destinations different allowances?

A solid case will weigh even more.

I have a mate who will not leave the country without a tin of broad beans in his bag. He sends us pics of him and 'tinny' on various balconies around the Med'
