Well done banjo, thanks for the update, and have a great stay in beautiful BG.

Happy to report that TUI were generous and helpful. Though our hold luggage was 0.6kg over the weight limit of 20kg, and my cabin bag was 0.1kg over the 5kg limit, after a brief consultation with her supervisor, the check-in clerk allowed both items with no surcharge :-) All the same, I wouldn't rec...

Thanks Banjo, a very pertinent and helpful response. We fly to CWL on the 28th so I will know for sure one way or the other. I will update here accordingly.
Bon Voyage!

Well, if you read the topic header it is "Cabin Baggage Restrictions". Replies were requested about that topic. That is how these things are supposed to work, nali?

Given the government backed guarantee from the FSCS, if it were true that banks "own" your money, it would only be a technicality, and not relevant to any realistic scenario (I discount the possibility of sovereign debt wipeout or political revolution). I would rather trust stable, traditi...

Factual update: the FSCS protects up to £85,000 per bank in the UK. As long as you don't have various bank accounts with banks which are related to each other the £85k protection is valid for each and every bank account you may have. I really don't think the present UK economy compares at all with t...
