Thomas Cook however will let you prebook excess baggage at £50 per 10kg (so £5 per kg and cheaper than 1st choice) one way and you can upgrade from 15kg allowance per person to 20kg per person for 7.50 each way. Hope that makes sense!!!
I then stuffed a load of stuff in the hand luggage which they dont weigh!

Wish I could get the micro on as hand luggage. Oh, they where the days. With Thomson the allowance is 20 kg but not able to purchase extra.

Its hard trying to weigh up what is the best option isnt it! In the end we paid slightly more for the flight with thomas cook but the excess baggage prices were cheaper and could be prebooked..... nightmare trying to suss it all out!

Has everyone seen the new sunbeds at British - they arrived when we were there the other week and look fab.... and the cushions are lovely and comfy too..... wish i was there!

The pool area really is nice now with the sunbeds in place and the nice wooden parasols and the lovely landscaped garden bits.... gorgeous!

Here is another photo showing the bargain twigs I took over with me from Home & bargain - they have little lights already on them so they look nice at night with just the tv on and the little lights... £6.99 and they do them in different colours too! Stuck them in Shauns golf bag and they arrived in perfect condition!

Where did you get your DVD player from for £8? And do you know if we can play DVD's brought in egypt on english dvd players? Also do you know anything about playstations and there games being played on it. I suppose it's best to buy all that stuff at home and just take it out there.

Hi Wayne,Stu here..I have found that most cheaper brands of dvd player that say they are for our region only,are really multi-regional..I googled my 2 players brands names and if you look,there are sites that tell you how to set your player to play any dvd from anywhere...both ours are Asda players and all I had to do was using the remote control,bring up the the menu setup and enter a code noted down from the webpage and bingo,they play anything.I wont put any links to these sites cos I expect it will be percieved as illegal.
