  | Re: Experiences taking Sofnoline with Monarch airlines... Quote: (Originally Posted by RobPot) Not sure about that Dave - wasn't that Britannia? No, dont think so Brittannia was £60 for 15kgs + 5kgs free last time I went with them.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, Robert trouble is they all change their minds like the bloody wind and what the airline says is not what happens at the check-in. |

Quote: (Originally Posted by Padowan) I rang monarch and asked about this "13kg for sports equipment" and was told that that only applies to scheduled flights, not charter flights. So it looks like I've only got the allowance of 25kg + 5kg that Tony Backhurst arrange... Well I hope they don't say that about silver card holders too as Lou has one Smiles it is then...         :ra zz:

We did and had no problems and the chap that didnt got stung for £200 excess baggage. We took whole 20kg tubs and shiped them in hold luggage with only a littel coercing. I told them its the stuf we breath and I did away with the hazard sticker and prezented them with the transit documents. Last three budget flights I have been on they weighed and tagged my hand luggage. ATB Mark Chase

| Re: Experiences taking Sofnoline with Monarch airlines... And of course its only one way (to take it out). I'm thinking that a tub with documents but corrosive sticker taken off as excess baggage is the way to go . 15kg will do most of the week, even if not all of it - 1 fill a day should work for warm 30m diving, so 5 days are taken care of... And you can leave the kitty litter and the tub behind when you leave!! Five fills is £100, or £30 as excess luggage... Or have I missed something?  cheers Ed
