light to classic

We booked our flights last time we travelled before this all started, I have just looked for next year and its Ł91 extra for a case

Is this on Virgin? We got caught out had had to pay Ł45 per case each way in July

Yes BA slightly cheaper

Classic on VA gets you free seat selection though - if you wanted that on BA you have to pay extra don't you?

Yes free seat selection on VA but paid on BA
So,glad we have most of our stuff in the villa and only pay for one way
On return if we have too we if bags included pack cases inside cases for the next trip just in case
Seriously looking at the cost of shipping cases home to see if it's cheaper

VA have a generous 10kg hand luggage plus personal item. When we flew July they never checked size of hand luggage, some huge cases going in to cabin. Can you not squash it all into hand luggage that you need? We could have done it if we tried a bit harder and if I had a villa with stuff there then I would have done that. We looked at buying new hand luggage for us all that fitted VA cabin but that cost almost as much as paying for the 2 cases we already had.

Oh let us know what you find out please.

Sue first one was $260 for 4 full sized 23kg cases picked up from villa and delivered to home about a week later by fedex so and that was at Christmas time dates I put in collecting day before I leave with insurance
I’d probably have them picked up before that though
I didn’t think,that was too bad to be honest but we have bags included on the next 2 booked trips

It's not really more, It's just broken down for you to see now.
Forget light and just use classic as your guide.
