Monarch will give 10kgs free and you can buy an extra 20kgs for 30 quid, at least you could last time I flew with them
Not sure about that Dave - wasn't that Britannia?
We had no problems with SpheraSorb earlier this year - even taking some 1kg pouches in our coat pockets.
I wouldn't rely on the smile and turn up early approaches, Natasha and I got stuffed for an extra £320 going to Sharm in February this year. I think the check-in staff for Monarch and other charter airlines have been told to enforce the regulations / screw you for as much as they can and it'll be between £6 and £8 per extra kilo.
Have fun,
