Is anyone else finding that their trip is beginning to get more %26amp; more expensive by the day!!!!???
It started when the flight time got changed by 3 hours to earlier in the morning %26amp; so ended up feeling it was just too early not to stop at Gatwick the night before, so extra hotel cost.
Then i find that end of July/start of August is SO incredibly busy , had to folk out for 4 fastpasses for 2 days at Universal %26amp; IOA!
Now just found out that Thomas Cook travel are expecting us to keep to a 15KG luggage allowance plus 5KG hand luggage.
With 2 teenage girls you have to be joking!!!!!!!!!
So I%26#39;m now waiting till tomorrow to find out just how much extra they want to fleese me for having a larger allowance-ie 20KG like any normal airline!!!!
What other hidden costs have other people been frustrated about??!!!! Or is it just me!!!
luggage allowances - yet more hidden extra cost!!!!!!!!!Hopefully you have a seat and not be in the standing section.
luggage allowances - yet more hidden extra cost!!!!!!!!!where are you staying?
just because their%26#39;s bound to be some sort of resort fee%26#39;s at your hotel.
another extra cost.
staying at the rosen plaza...as far as we know there are no extra costs for parking or any thing else....lol
It might have been worth checking with regular airlines, like British Airways, Virgin, etc. While they are generally more expensive, they do have periodic sales, and they (generally) have better food, free seat selection, higher luggage allowances, etc.
It may have ended up much more expensive with them, but its something to keep in mind.
Also, keep in mind that even if you have more weight and you pay for them to take it, those bags will be the first removed from the aircraft if it is over its weight limits.
Believe me I do know how teenagers are about clothes. This time I would put my foot down and tell them that in able to be able to go they will simply have to scale way back and even wash a few things out by hand at the motel. They will survive just fine LOL. Best wishes to you on the trip.

I forgot to say you may need extra room for things you buy in Orlando to take back anyway. Over the years we have learned to scale way back on what we take in the way of clothing. It works so much better that way and I don%26#39;t mind a little hand washing here and there. Many motel.hotels have washer and dryers if yiou need them as well.

I had 20 Kg last including hand luggae, going I had 17kg and coming home i had 32kg!!! In sanford the lady didnt even mention my way over the limit bag....which I was very grateful for! I had all my girlie essentials packed etc.. going but was fine. Vest tops, flops really don%26#39;t way much and make up the heavy bottles of girlie products. Be sensible about what you need, share products etc and you%26#39;ll be fine.
Having said that.........I%26#39;m going with thomas cook this year, but booked a prestige hotel, so have got 30kg of luggage, which i am very very happy about!!
WE are flying SN Brussels they give 46 kilos per person.
Not bad h but you have to fly from Brussels or Banjul as we are .
We are going with practically empty suitcases and fill up on route, but we are going for 5 weeks altogether.
try and take as litle as you can so you can buy more there which im sure they will want to do,, there usualy washing machines at hotels to wash your own clothes to. Our cases on the way back are always well over and we never get charged.
This is almost certain a sunshine deal we got caught wit this one My Travel also sell it , they are now the same company.
There is a phone number you can ring to get an extra 5 KG allowance this will cost you 拢45 each person in the party %26amp; you will have to pay for all party. But you can only get this no earlier then 7 days before travel.
No their not Joking 15 KG will be stamped on you ticket. Check in ladies are not allowed to let you past with any more.
They are very keen on weight and they will weight you carry on.
One couple checking in to come Home with us was charged 拢620 excess. But she was wearing 5 overcoats and they did check in 5 large suitcases between them. They did spend some time at the back of the check in hall putting shampoos and botts of hair conditioner and other heavy items into the charity bin.
Another who rolled up with a 36Kg case had to send it UPS home because the airline would not load it cos it was too heavy.
Excess Baggage is now costing Airlines a lot of money to fly around the skies. BA recently announced it would only be allowing one checked in bag per passenger , the weight limit is presently at 32 KG Kg but in September this comes down to 23Kg in any bag any above that weight they wont load.
The health and safety act will not allow baggage handlers to lift more then 35- Kg.
But you would not have thought there were any regulations in place standing at the baggage carousel of the TCD plane we came home on . Some bags could be hardly lifted . One 4 family group 2+2 kids 4%26amp; 6 Had 5 of the biggest suitcase I have ever seen, I gave the guy a hand into the car with one going out , me and him could barely lift it. Why ever people need to take luggage for only 2 week like that I have yet to figure out. one of our bags they wouldn%26#39;t check in to go into the hold as it was only 4 KG
But Poster be warned If you turn up at Sanford with More then your 15 KG + 5 kg carry on ( they will add the bags collectively within your family group) you will pay dearly. think they charge $12 per KG
