Just so you know, TUI Airways flights have a flight number that starts with TOM or BY.

If you're flying on a TUI flight (package or flight only), you can check in pushchairs and/or car seats into the hold for free. You can also bring your pushchair with you onboard, as long as it weighs less than 10kg, is no bigger than 55x40x20cm and has a hand luggage label provided during check-in. This'll count as your larger piece of hand luggage for an adult on the booking, meaning you can have this and one smaller piece of hand luggage that fits under the seat in front of you, with maximum dimensions 40x30x20cm.

There's the option to use your pushchair at the airport and hand it to a member of staff at the gate before you board, but please make our ground staff aware when you check in as you'll need a label for this too. Just so you know, pushchairs and car seats will be returned on the luggage belt when you arrive, and there’s occasionally a long walk between the aircraft and the luggage reclaim area. Any pushchairs need to be completely collapsible. Please note, if you're travelling with an infant under 2, they don't have a hand luggage allowance.

If you’re just booking a TUI Airways flight, all adults and children aged 2 and over can take one piece of hand luggage for the cabin for free. Each piece of hand luggage can weigh up to 10kg, with maximum dimensions of 55x40x20cm. As well as one piece of hand luggage, you can bring one small personal item. This includes things like a laptop bag, a backpack, or a handbag that’s small enough to fit under the seat in front of you with maximum dimensions 40x30x20cm.

You must be able to lift your hand luggage into the overhead storage compartments yourself.

Children aged under 2 don’t have a hand luggage allowance.

You can add checked-in luggage for an extra charge while you’re booking, or through Flight Extras website if you’ve already booked.

If you’ve already checked in though, you’ll need to give us a call on us on 0203 451 2688.

Booking your luggage allowance online is cheaper than paying at the airport.

Your luggage may be transported from the airport to the ship as part of our bonded luggage service. You can check if this applies to your cruise in your booking confirmation. Once you’ve checked in, it’ll be security sealed and transported for you – you won’t need to collect it at the airport, as it’ll be delivered straight to your cabin.

If your cruise includes flights with a different airline, you’ll usually find details of your luggage allowance on your e-ticket or confirmation email. Some airlines don’t give infants their own allowance – please check with the airline separately if you’re unsure.

Each passenger gets 20kg of checked luggage (infants get 10kg luggage allowance).

See above Flying with Children.

Adults and children aged 2 and over can take one piece of hand luggage for the cabin. Each piece of hand luggage can weigh up to 10kg, with maximum dimensions of 55x40x20cm - If your ski boots fit within these restrictions, then they may be carried as your one piece of hand luggage.

And just so you know, if you wait until you get to the airport, it’ll cost you more.

If you’re not flying with TUI Airways, you’ll need to check with your airline.

For TUI Airways flights, you’re allowed to pool your hold luggage allowance with anyone else travelling on your booking. However, each bag can only weigh up to 25kg. 

If you're carrying diving equipment and you show your diving certificate at check-in, we'll give you an extra 5kg luggage allowance free. If you've got more equipment, you can check it in for an extra charge.

 If your instrument is larger than the maximum hand luggage dimensions, you'll need to check it in for an extra charge. We recommend you mark the instrument as fragile and advise check-in staff to handle it with care.
