I would rather not get into a tit for tat discussion but if you check the FAQ section on Monarch's own website, you will find that the baggage limitations for charter booking with a MON flight code are 20kgs which INCLUDES the 5kg of hand baggage. Therefore they are exactly as ourselves and TOM.
baggage - baggage charges & allowances - charter flights - flight numbers starting MON
Hold baggage
- Each adult or child receives a hold baggage allowance. Hold baggage charges may apply with some tour operators - passengers will be advised of any applicable baggage charges when making a booking.
- The hold baggage weight limit is normally 20kg including the 5kg hand baggage allowance.
You will find most charter operators sing from the same hymn sheet. The only difference would be for a scheduled booking with Monarch (flight code ZB) This has a separately payable baggage charge.
The 32kg limit is the same anywhere in the UK and relates to 'elf and safety for the handlers. It is not able to be varied.
As for the loadsheet, well using standard notional weights speeds things up and is entirley legal. Whether it is accurate given the size of some folks is a constant source of amusement. But until the CAA see fit to change the rules it will remain.
All I will say is that being especially nice to our check in staff can sometimes work wonders!!!!!
