i take a set of digital fishing scales with me so i an check im not over wieght when i comeback

I'm worried about mine going

[honeybee]

good idea about fishing scales - you can buy them from the pound shops nowadays - they may not be 100% accurate but be as near as poss

[hans120]

i would'nt bother with the cheap ones there rubbish,the digital ones are the best there 99% correct as long as your batterys are ok

our cases were 9 kilos over and they never said a word at dalaman

[dotty]

Think it depends which airline you fly with. We were 3 kilos over and got charged £21. The annoying thing was our hand luggage weighed next to nothing and if I'd have thought I could have taken some stuff out the case and put it in the backpack.

I got charged £36 at Dalaman a couple of weeks ago ! wasn't too happy as i didnt get charged at Gatwick we flew with Thomas Cook ... so be careful.

I also got charged at Dalaman £42 it would have been more but hubby had no hand luggage so I got a carrier bag and shoved about 3 kgs in that there was a rep from My Travel going up and down the queue telling people that they were to be charged and to put things in hand luggage. I cant complain we have been going twice a year for 7 years and have never been charged before I hadnt bought very much and had left all toileteries etc in apartment must have been my shopaholic husband

Talking about extra charges and My Travel,a friend of mine told me She has been asked to pay £12 per person to ensure they are sat together on the plane.This sounds awful since they booked and paid about 6 months ago.Is this a typical ploy by some airlines to scare passengers into paying this ripoff.

[hans120]

just got back had no trouble with the wieght issues.

I just got back on Saturday morning and they were charging people for extra kilos on our flight. Woman in front of me was charged £80 excess

[Fanny]

I've found it makes a difference who you fly with re whether you get charged for being overweight (the cases I mean not the person - don't get me started on that one lol )
IMHO First Choice seem to be red hot at charging for whatever/whenever they can for example, whereas Onur are v laid back

[hans120]

we was with thompson

[feefee1970]

onur air
my freinds flight was delayed 2 hours as they had to much luggage on board and had to take fuel off then go to istanbull for more fuel

as long as the just weigh the luggage and not the passengers or i have to pay a high price

we where under as usual hubby always panics about the weight
