Excess Charity Luggage Allowance with TUI

We are fortunate that TUI help us by giving supporters additional charity luggage allowances. We have set out below the most commonly asked questions but do contact us if you have any other query.

When to Apply?

You can complete the application form whenever you wish. We will forward it on to the airline who will deal with it accordingly.

How Much Will Be Granted?

The airline deals with applications on an individual basis. They will take into consideration things like how many other requests they have had for the same flight and how many of you are travelling. We can’t guarantee that any allowance will be given but airlines frequently give 10kgs per person.

Can The Allowance Be Used For Anything Else?

Definitely not. All airlines require you to pack and label the excess charity luggage separately to the rest of your luggage.

Once Agreed Will I Definitely Be Granted the Allowance at Check in?

All excess charity luggage allowances are subject to load on the day. This means that if the flight is already at full capacity then the charity luggage won’t go and will follow on the next available plane. We haven’t known this to happen but it is a condition to be aware of.

What’s The Process For Applying/Granting the Allowance?

Please complete the application form which you can find here. Once we receive it we will acknowledge it and either make an application immediately. As soon as we hear from the airline we will confirm with you. Please note that the additional allowance is only added to outward bound flights.
