Baggage Allowance

Postby JANUARYBABE » 15 Jun 2010 19:20

Hi, can anyone suggest where i can by holdalls as the 15kg is proving to be a problem as the cases I have weigh 3 kg empty therefore not much allowance left for 2 weeks clothes.

Try Argos, Tesco or Asda. I saw some squashy holdall things in Tesco the other day.

I may have the same problem myself, we've only got 15kgs each but we're not self catering for a change so should manage.

Or have a look in any sales, Matalan are doing a super lightweight case, but they're not cheap.

I ended up buying http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.205-2811.aspx, same capacity as my suitcases which I have replaced and by replacing the two I have saved 5.4Kg in weight.
