The baggage size hasn't increased and so it shouldn't. The increase to Maximum of 10kgs weight is standard across all TUI Airways operated flights.
With most people still travelling on a TUI holiday onboard these flights and thus receiving a 15-23kgs hold-luggage allowance, hopefully this change won't start encouraging cabin congestion and fighting for overhead luggage space like it does on other airlines. The one positive of the previous 5kgs allowance was that it encouraged people to pack lighter, which often meant a smaller cabin bag that could easily go underneath the seats or quickly popped in the overhead lockers.
