    Unless you post a link to the flight details, nobody can answer your question.

    Did you see the offer in a travel agent office/newspaper/website?????????

    Post a link if it's an online offer, otherwise read the Ts & Cs.

    Hope this works , I found it through the first choice.co.uk website , just clicked onto flights and put in my details, SNN - arreciffe , there is the next page where u can choose to pay for seat selection and on board meals but no mention of baggage , it is through Thomson airways which i presume is a charter flight so maybe this baggage just comes as standard it is very reasonable @ €159 taxes and charges incl return

    I would presume, given that at no stage are you offered the option to add luggage, that it is included. However, I couldn't find any detail on allowances, although admittedly I did only have a cursory glance over it.

    All that said, €159 return incl. taxes is pretty bloody good! And yes, it's a holiday charter.

    Right. Had a look at the brochure and it seems that on Thompson, the baggage allowance varies by destination. So I took a look at a pricing grid for Lanzarote and the allowance looks to be 15kg (additional 5kg for Stg£22). Infants get 10kg plus their pram.

    Yep it sounds good value put that together with a cheap hotel and have a nice package holiday , thanks for that eponymous !

    Call Falcon or pop into one of their shops and ask them what luggage weight is. I think its 20kg.

    The hot weather has slowed bookings for September/October and there is lots of capacity left to fill which drives prices down.

    Just to update booked my flights, tickets will arrive 3 weeks previous to departure , 20kg baggage allowance per person, have picked the rocas blancas apartments for location so it will work out at 240 per person flights and accomodation for the week , cheap as chips !! Going the 30th September so our fine weather will be a distant memory at that stage I'd be thinking

    Enjoy!

    Be sure to check out Bodega in the old town. Great restaurant. Try get there late (after 9pm) and take in the atmosphere.
