Baggage Allowance

[superstag2002]

booked two flights (people) with MONARCH airlines, but only paid for 1 x 20kg hold luggage, my email confirmation is unclear........... it says 1 passenger x 10kg total hand luggage only, passenger 2 = 20kg TOTAL... surely it is 20kg hold PLUS 10kg hand luggage for passenger 2, Thank you to anyone who can clarify 100%.

Does this help? http://www.monarch.co.uk/faq/flights/baggage/hold-checked-in-baggage-charges-charter
Still a little confusing to me

[superstag2002]

lol, yep me too.

[AlwaysConfused]

I haven't known an airline to allow 10kg per person hand luggage, and it cannot usually exceed a certain size

[ummmm]

Monarch allow 10kg. I flew with them in May.

[ummmm]

It looks like if you've put your bag in the hold you can't take on hand luggage. If you're only taking on hand luggage the max is 10kg. So passenger 1 has used up their allowance by putting their bag in the hold.

That's how I'm reading it.

I have been known to take something this sort of size on a flight Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation these days I tend to take a medium sized rucksack with me. Check what you have paid for. I nearly took a cheap 2 week holiday last year, only to find I could take hand luggage only. No way Pedro! I need room for shoes! so I went with a different agent. Lubbly jubbly

so im assuming it can to be 20kg that can be checked in (paid 21 pounds) 1 way, PLUS an additional 10kg hand for 1 of us and the other JUST 10kg hand luggage. thank you.

[superstag2002]

lol now im really confused .........

[AlwaysConfused]

really confused? I'm always confused!

[tezmand]

if its same as ryanair if you book a case in the hold you can still have 10kg hand luggage too

[ummmm]

Well it says...

Passenger 1 - 10kg total hand luggage only.
Passenger 2 - 20kg TOTAL

From that I would assume they can't take on another 10kg.

[tezmand]

way i read it on the link always confused posted is you get 20kg in hold and 5 kg hand luggage

[superstag2002]

who knows maybe ive paid 21 pounds then for only xtra 10kg, got till december to found out for sure. ive emailed monarch direct i'll just see if i get a reply lol.

[boxtops]

I'll check my booking, we fly with Monarch next month....

[superstag2002]

ooh tezmand, maybe she gets 20 plus 5, and i get 10 ...... i may stick with ryanair in future strict yes but clear gggrrrr lol

[Prudie]

I'd suggest it means a 20kg hold bag for one of you and a total of 10kg hand baggage between you both

[boxtops]

I've just checked my booking and am more confused - it says our baggage allowance in the hold is 23kg.....

[boxtops]

The Monarch site says hand baggage is by volume (see bag sizes) but can't weigh more than 10kg per person in total - so you can take a lighter bag as well as your handbag, by the look of it, as long as the total weight pp is less than 10kg

^ PS just noticed that that's only for flight numbers starting ZB (which ours isn't)

[pretty_snowdrop]

You are allowed 5kg of hand luggage each, which is your 10kg hand luggage, plus the suitcase at 20kg.
