Thomsonfly doubles cabin baggage allowance
23.04.06
Thomsonfly has doubled the allowance for cabin bags from 5kg to 10 kg from today. The move is part of a new luggage policy which gives passengers a total free baggage allowance of 25kg, of which up to 10kg can be taken onto the aircraft. The airline's previous policy was a maximum of 5kg of cabin baggage and a maximum of 20kg of hold baggage.
The move follows customer feedback that more than 92% of people find waiting at the baggage carousel one of the most stressful part of air travel. In packing trials by staff it was found that 10kg was more than adequate baggage allowance for a break of up to 4 days, a statement from the airline said.
The airline said in a statement: 'The increased cabin baggage allowance, from 5kg to 10 kg will enable many passengers to carry their travel belongings in the cabin, enabling them to quickly exit the airport terminal and get on with their trip.'
The airline said new policy was in line with the regulations set by the Department for Transport for maximum dimensions of hand baggage, which were issued two weeks ago and which are due to come into force by the summer.
