TUI Baggage Allowance

Note: The baggage allowance will depend on whether the booking is for a package holiday or a flight only booking.

Your luggage allowance depends on the type of holiday, or flight, you’ve booked with us. It’ll be clearly marked on your booking confirmation, which will have been emailed to you.

Hand Luggage: 1 piece of hand luggage, 10 kg, 55 x 40 x 20 cm.

On certain types of holidays, you have a bigger allowance of 20 kg.

You can also pay to add checked-in luggage, weighing either 20kg or 25kg, depending on your booking.
