Luggage allowance - All you need to know about luggage allowances with TUI Airways

  • Your luggage allowance will vary depending on what type of holiday you book with us.

Package holidays

Checked-in luggage

 

When flying with TUI Airways, you’re entitled to a 15kg luggage allowance on our package holidays. Certain types of holiday come with a bigger allowance of 20kg – this is clearly shown whilst you’re booking if it applies.

 

Hand luggage

 

You can take 1 piece of hand luggage per person (excluding infants) weighing up to 10kg and with maximum dimensions of 55x40x20cm on a TUI Airways flight. Things like laptops, handbags and items bought at the airport must fit within your 1 piece of hand luggage. You must be able to lift your hand luggage into the overhead storage compartments yourself. You can bring a Trunki case as hand luggage, as long as it weighs no more than 10kg.

 

Flights with other airlines

If you're flying with another airline, you'll find details of your hand luggage allowance on your e-ticket or confirmation email.

Flight Only bookings

Hand luggage

 

If you’re just booking a TUI Airways flight, you can carry 1 piece of hand luggage of up to 10kg for free. The maximum dimensions of your hand luggage can be 55x40x20cm and you must be able to lift your hand luggage into the overhead storage compartments yourself. Things like laptops, handbags and items bought at the airport must fit within your 1 piece of hand luggage.

 

Checked-in luggage

 

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

 

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

 

There's no luggage allowance for infants, regardless of seating type, and they can't be included in any pooling of luggage allowance. 

 

Flights with other airlines

If you're flying with another airline, you'll find details of your hand luggage allowance on your e-ticket or confirmation email.

Premium Club

Upgrade to Premium Club on TUI Airways flights and you’ll get a luggage allowance of 23kg as well as 10kg hand luggage. You can do this whilst you’re booking. If you've already booked, you can log in to your customer account by visiting Customer Account/Manage My Booking.

Infants

If you're flying with TUI Airways, you can take a pushchair for infants under 2 years old, for free. And if your flight is part of a package holiday, under-2s will also have a check-in luggage allowance of 10kg. If you’re not flying with TUI Airways, you’ll need to check with your airline. Most other airlines will also carry pushchairs free of charge and you can usually take them to the boarding gate. Some airlines also offer extra hold luggage for under 2s - you'll find details on your e-ticket or confirmation email.

Adding extra luggage

Whether you’re booking a package holiday or a just a flight, you’ll get the option of upgrading from the standard luggage allowance with TUI Airways. You can do this whilst you’re booking, or by using our Flight Extras website if you've already booked. If you’re not flying with TUI Airways, you’ll need to check with your airline.

Pooling your luggage allowance

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

Larger items

Sports equipment

 

If you’re taking sports equipment with you, you’ll need to call us at least 2 months before you travel on 0203 451 2695 to pre-book it onto your flight. If you don’t pre-book, we may refuse to carry your equipment when you get to the airport.

 

Protecting your sports equipment:

 

We recommend you insure your sports equipment for its replacement value and make sure it’s securely packed with zip compartments padlocked. If you’re taking a bicycle, we recommend you use a bicycle bag. Handlebars must be turned inwards, pedals removed, tyres deflated and the bicycle must be wrapped in plastic or cardboard.

 

Diving equipment

 

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.

 

Musical instruments

 

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 with care. See our Conditions of Carriage for full details.

 

Flights with other airlines

If you're flying with an airline other than TUI Airways, please contact us for details.
