If you’re not travelling with TUI Airways, or you’ve booked before 21^st December 2023, check your booking confirmation e-mail or Manage My Booking to see the checked-in luggage allowance for children. 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. There is 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 will 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, 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. In addition to the piece of hand luggage you can also bring one small personal item, things like a laptop or a handbag, and this must be small enough to be stored under the seat in front of you. 

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

You can add checked-in luggage for an extra charge while 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. 

If you're flying with another airline, you'll usually find details of your hand luggage allowance on your e-ticket or confirmation email. If you can’t see your luggage allowance, please contact your airline directly. 

If your cruise is sailing from Barbados, your luggage will be transported from the airport to the ship as part of our bonded luggage service. If this applies to you, it’ll be noted in your booking confirmation – it’s important to check, as it’s only available at certain times. You’ll receive a luggage label 14 days before you travel, which you’ll need to secure to your luggage. 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). 

If you're travelling with infants or young children, you can take two pieces of equipment (such as a travel cot, pushchair or car seat) free of charge. These must be checked into the hold, though pushchairs can be taken to the boarding gate and then given to staff to place in the hold. 

Each passenger also gets 10kg of hand luggage. The dimensions of hand luggage must not exceed 55 x 40 x 20cm. If your ski boots fit within these restrictions, then they may be carried as your one piece of hand luggage.

Whether you’re booking a package holiday or just a flight, you’ll get the option of upgrading from the standard luggage allowance with TUI Airways. You can do this while you’re booking, or by logging into Flight Extras if you've already booked. 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.
