Hya

I think i may be bein a bit on the dense side this morning :) Although i have never booked a flight before .

I was looking at booking flights to murcia with BMI to find out the cost .

When it comes to the baggage section im totally baffled do i actually need to pay for suitcases ........as i think this is what i have to do ??

The bit says checked baggage ?? what does that mean
(how embarressed am i )

Doesnt specifie weather there is some sort an allowance per person . And i have looked on the info page ...not sure weather its just me or weather the info is a bit vauge ?

Can anyone give me any advice ??

Thankyou

Yes hold luggage is your suitcases that you check in and hand over to them

The thing is with low cost airlines is that your price is basically for your seat on the plane then you pay extra for anyting other than hand luggage.

Try and get everything into as few suitcases as possible without going over the weight allowance (looks like it is 18kg per person with a max of 32kg for any one piece of luggage). So I would put your children's clothes in with yours, maybe get everything into 2 large cases?

For the first time this year me and DH are off on our own (no kids!!!) and we are going to stick to hand luggage only (:eek: )......now that will take careful planning! good job it's only for 4 nights.
