What to pack

When it comes to picking a suitcase, strength is more important than looks. Cases can receive harsh treatment at airports, and hard-frame cases are tougher than soft nylon ones, which can tear. Take care no to overfill your case and remember to pack any valuables in your hand luggage and not in your suitcase.
Remember to attach luggage labels to every item of your baggage, and to put name and address labels inside your bags and cases. Attaching customized luggage straps or brightly colourer tape is always a good idea.

Luggage Allowance

The standard allowance on charter flights is 20kg (44lbs) per person (excluding infants), unless your ticket says otherwise. A charge may be made if you exceed this amount. On schedule flights the allowance is normally 2 pieces of luggage weighting at 32Kg (72lbs) each. You may normally carry golf clubs (half set) within these allowances, as long as let the airline know in advance.
You can also take one piece of hand luggage with you on to the plane, bu this should not exceed 5kg in weight, and be no bigger than 43x28x32cm. Please note that hand luggage may be weighted, as well as cameras and handbags. The low dose x-ray machine used at UK airports will not affect photographic film.

First Aid Kit

We recommend that you take with you on your travels a basic first aid kit to cover you in the event of stomach upsets, headaches, sunburn etc. Also remmebr to pack any prescribed medication you are taking and please ensure that these are in your hand luggage.
