1. Wizz Air
Any piece of baggage to be checked-in is subject to a fee, per bag, per flight and per passenger.
The number of bags you wish to check in must be indicated and paid for during the booking process (either via Travelshop365.com or the call centre). Further pieces of baggage can be added at a later stage through the Call Centre for the same fee.
If further pieces of baggage are paid for at the airport, a higher Baggage Fee applies.
If passenger check in fewer pieces of baggage than had been paid for, the Baggage Fee will not be refunded.
The total allowance for all pieces of checked-in luggage combined remains 15 kilograms.
Should the weight of all the checked-in pieces of luggage combined exceed 15 kilograms, an excess baggage fee will be charged per additional kilo checked-in.
It is possible to purchase additional kilograms to check in during the booking process (through the call centre) or after booking, via Travelshop365.com or through the call centre (for the same fee).

2. Thomsonfly
Thomson Airways and First Choice Airways current policy is as follows:
In an effort to ensure they have a straightforward customer proposition they will continue to accept only 1 piece of hand baggage at check in and through Security central search.
Thomson Airways & First Choice Airways will continue to offer the passenger their respective hand baggage allowances in terms of weight of bag by airline.
Regulations on the carriage of liquids through security remain unchanged.
Last updated 8th January 2008.
What is the Thomson Airways luggage allowance, for a flight only booking?
All flight-only customers are entitled to a free hand luggage allowance of up to 5kg. Customers wishing to check in luggage may do so for a small charge by selecting the option whilst making a booking. A maximum of 5 items of luggage can be pre-booked by each passenger.
Customers choosing to pre-book their luggage allowance in advance on this website can save up to 50% when compared to prices at the airport.
Each passenger who has opted to pay for check in luggage has a total allowance of 20kg per person, irrespective of the number of bags checked in. Please note that each item may not exceed 20kg without excess baggage charges being levied. Any single item of checked-in luggage must not exceed 23kg, as this exceeds the recommended guidelines for airport baggage handlers to lift.
Each passenger may also take up to 5kg of hand luggage on board. Any extra weight required for hold baggage can be pre-booked at our call centre during the booking process at up to 50% discount when compared to airport prices.
Customers choosing to book a Premium Seat (on selected flights) will enjoy an inclusive check in baggage allowance. Premium seats include a total of 30kg baggage allowance (a maximum of 23kg can be checked in to the hold and up to 7kg can be taken on board).

A Baggage Fee is charged for the carriage of each item of Checked Baggage. Baby buggies, wheelchairs, scooters and walking frames are carried free of charge. The baggage fee is variable dependent on the length of the flight and may be prepaid at the current discounted internet rate when making your reservation online. If you wish to add baggage to your booking at a later date you can do this via the ‘manage your bookings’ section of the website, the call centre or when you arrive at the airport. Please note a £15.00/€18.75 charge per item will apply per one way flight for any bags added by the call centre or at the airport. Each passenger can take a maximum of 5 bags per one way flight that must not exceed a combined weight of 18kgs. Passengers travelling together on the same booking reservation, who have individually purchased bags, can pool their baggage weight allowance up to the equivalent of 18kgs per passenger. Once this limit is reached then standard overweight charges as detailed below will apply. Please note passengers travelling on the same booking reservation must all check-in at the same time in order to pool the baggage allowance.
Infants under the age of 2 years (on the date of departure of each flight) are entitled to a 5kg baggage allowance, this will be added to the adult responsible for the infant. For children over 2 years, the price of flights and the baggage allowance is the same as for adults. Please note a pram/buggy will be carried free of charge.
