it is a problem

especially when you think an empty suitcase weighs nearly 5 kg

one answer is to use one of those really thin nylon sports bags that weigh nowt , at least you then get your full 15 kg

or you can wear all the clothes your taking , but you will look like the angel of the north

Try flying with a 'low fare' - no flare famous airline, they're considering charging for use of the toilet whilst onboard! What next?

Baggage hold prices went up dramatically when there was a major worldwide hike in airline fuel costs in 2008/9......

Last time i went to turkey i was allowed 20kgs and thought ...thats ok...

However....

When comming back through turkish airport i was informed the allowance was only 15kgs and so they charged me £80 for excess

They got everyone there and everyone was fuming.

On my return i went to travel agents and eventually made them coff up with it.

So watch ya step folks

MzN the holdalls hold a huge amount if you get the right one - I have packed a family of 4 in one holdall excluding the shoes

Which is more than I ever got in one of my suitcases, and always needed 2 of them even before my youngest was born.

Ohh and our holdall was a cheap one costing less than £20 and it has wheels to drag it along

central scotland

Been using the holdall for yrs now it allows me to get my half kilo off luggage in and the mrs extra 14 kilos.

If you do fly ryanair its 10 kilo hand luggage allowance but beware as they are very strict when boarding both on the wieght and the size and it could cost you another £30 each way.

Oh and once everyone has the lightwieght cases and the sportsbags be ready for the allowance dropping to 10 kilos.
