Yea it must be a nightmare,i guess the best strategy would be try not to take things that you don't need.Its so easy to fall into the trap of being sentimental but just think you can make new memories and aquire new posessions.The future is where its at! Be brave with your packing! good luck again.

Safety comes first !
Make sure you pack your own little remote controlled bomb conveniently, before you board the plane.
Chance of having a mad bomber in your plane is 1 in 500. With your own bomb safely tucked away, the chance of having two mad bombers on the same flight reduces down to only,
(1/500 )X(1/500 )= 1/250000 ..... (1 in 250000 )
Very smart move, no?

Quoting Loveprague: Hi all,
I am slowly to arrange my travel details and would really appreciate some help from people who have used Turkish airlines before especially when it comes to the baggage weights and restrictions.
I understand that Turkish airlines do have a greater weight allowance for your first piece of baggage which is 32KG, I know British Airways is only 23KG, which infact is very small allowance. I would like to take possibly three cases including my allowance of the first piece of luggage which would be 32KG. I am quite certain that the two excess pieces of baggage would be both equalling another 32KG each thus the total would be 96KG. The first case would be my allowance and then the second and third pieces of luggage would be the excess can anyone give me some help with regards to the extra two pieces of luggage, they would be excess baggage. Thanks in advance |

I flew with them 4 times last year. I was always under the impression 20kg was the limit for the checked in luggage, with more for business class. I was about 2 kilos over on a return trip from Istanbul and wasn't charged.
Good luck for your future in Turkia

I am still awaiting the tent. It will allow me the freedom to travel around Turkia this year and spread my word. btw, does it come with a camel?

It is not just THY policy, but also the airport you are flying from.
THY are more flexible flying out of Istanbul, than Heathrow.
In both cases the rule is 20kg total plus hand luggage.
But flying out of Istanbul they normally let you get away with 5 or 6 kg over without charging.
Heathrow is strict on baggage handling, and charges them fines if they allow a lot of heavy weight, so they are not so forgiving.
The best way is to send the bags THY cargo. It is a lot cheaper per kg. You make an arrangement with THY before hand.
If you want the bags to be on the same plane as you, you have to drop them at the airport (might be the cargo terminal) some time before the flight (normally 24 hours). Then you can pick them up in Turkey when you get off the plane.
If you just bring them when you check in they arrive in Turkey a few days later.
