TUI Airways Baggage Rules 2026

The limit is 55 x 40 x 20 cm and 10kg for one piece of hand luggage per person. That applies on short, mid and long-haul flights, and flight-only fares get it too. Infants under 2 have no hand luggage allowance of their own. Liquids go in containers of 100ml or less inside one clear 20 x 20 cm bag.

TUI includes a 10kg cabin bag on flight-only bookings, so you only pay extra for the hold.

Your personal item can measure up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm and must sit under the seat in front of you. TUI names a small bag or laptop as examples. No separate weight is published for it, and it comes free alongside the 55 x 40 x 20 cm cabin bag.

Hand luggage on TUI Airways can weigh up to 10kg, a figure the airline states for every route. TUI does not publish a gate fee for a cabin bag that is too big or too heavy. Its conditions of carriage say any bag you take aboard must fit under the seat or in a closed overhead locker.

Package holidays that fly TUI Airways both ways include at least 20kg of hold luggage per person. Several holiday types raise that to 25kg: TUI BLUE, Sensatori, Holiday Village, TUI River Cruises and wedding packages. Flight-only tickets include no hold bag, so you add one when booking or later through Flight Extras. If one leg is on another airline, your confirmation email shows the allowance.

The allowance follows the holiday you book, not the seat, so two people on the same flight can have 20kg and 25kg.

Premium includes 25kg of hold luggage and 10kg of cabin baggage, whatever holiday type you booked. It is sold on Boeing 787 long-haul flights to places such as Mexico, Jamaica, Thailand, Barbados, Florida and Goa. Premium also brings a separate check-in line, fast-track security and priority boarding.

Premium raises a 20kg package to 25kg even on standard holiday types.

At the airport, TUI charges £15 per extra kilo on flights under seven hours and £20 per kilo on longer flights. Flight-only passengers with no allowance pay £60 (€70) per 15kg bag on short-haul routes. The price is £80 (€90) for Cape Verde, Egypt, Gambia, Senegal and long-haul flights. TUI does not publish its online hold bag prices on these pages. Once you check in, you can't change luggage online.

Cape Verde, Egypt, Gambia and Senegal take the long-haul bag price even though they are not long-haul flights.

No single hold bag may weigh over 25kg. You can split your allowance across up to three bags, and everyone on the same booking can pool their allowance. TUI publishes no hold bag dimensions on its luggage pages.

Under 2s on a package holiday get 10kg of hold luggage but no hand luggage. Children aged 2 and over get the adult allowance. Pushchairs and car seats go in the hold free. A pushchair can come onboard if it weighs under 10kg and fits 55 x 40 x 20 cm. A child's Trunki uses one adult's hand luggage allowance.

Yes, with diving kit getting an extra 5kg free if you show your diving certificate at check-in. Other sports equipment such as golf clubs, bikes and skis must be pre-booked by phone on 0203 451 2688. Expect to pay from about £30 per item each way, with bikes usually costing more.

No pet policy is published beyond assistance dogs. TUI's conditions of carriage say you must declare any animal at booking, crated and with health certificates, but no pet fee, carrier size or species list appears. Trained assistance dogs fly free in the cabin with their food, given 48 hours' notice.

Two wheelchairs or personal mobility devices, manual or electric, travel free on TUI Airways and don't use your luggage allowance. TUI charges for any device beyond those two. The Assisted Travel team handles bookings for mobility equipment and spare batteries.

File a Property Irregularity Report at the arrival airport before you leave. After 6 days, TUI Baggage services take over tracing on 0333 577 0300. For a delayed bag, the claim must be made in writing within 21 days of the date the bag was delivered.
