Overview
- Coverage on Monday warned that most UK carriers say no single checked item may exceed 32kg and that items above that limit can be turned away at the check‑in desk.
- easyJet and Ryanair state on their websites that passengers on the same booking may pool their paid allowances but must keep every individual bag at or below 32kg.
- Jet2 confirmed in a recent customer‑service reply that pooling is allowed within a total allowance and that no one bag can be more than 32kg, with small overweight shifts covered if the group remains within the overall weight.
- TUI’s published rules differ because TUI Airways limits each bag to 25kg and some TUI package flights are operated by third‑party carriers that use their own baggage limits.
- Passengers should check the operating carrier and the booking confirmation before travel because per‑bag caps exist for handler safety, vary by airline, and can result in refusal rather than only an extra fee.
