Flybe announces new baggage policy
For those of you who have a holiday home in France or who live in France and travel back to the UK regularly I thought I'd pass on a bit of info I've just read.
Flybe, who fly direct from Birmingham to Perpignan, as well as other airports such as Avignon and Toulouse has increased it's hold baggage allowance to 25kg per person, some 10kg more than Ryanair.
To accommodate this increase in capacity Flybe has decided to charge it's customers for putting their bags in the hold. This costs £2 per bag per each way flight. Simply book in your baggage and pay for it at the time of booking and the cost will be added to the overall price of your flights. If you choose to book your hold baggage in at check in, the cost will be £4 per bag per each way flight.
In addition to this, Flybe has increased carry on luggage allowance to 10kg per person in one bag only. For more information, go to www.flybe.com
Hope this is useful

i had an issue with air france once.
wheelchair is baggage !!!! IT SO IS NOT!!! or excess that fat woman in the queue behind .... she must be at least THREE people!
then 'with no baggage' my tiny small flight bag had to be hoofed in some hole beside the door as the overheads would hold maybe a small shoe!!!
mmmmmmmm grrrrrrrrrrr
and as I was travelling with a disabled person......... i had to carry him down steps then up into the plane, how humiliating. I am sure they fed the fat bird all the way into the plane with candy bars
