Each bag is weighed individually. But that doesn't necessarily mean that data is transferred to the Dispatcher. Not all airlines work on the real weight of the bag, but an assumed weight as nclops says. That assumed weight is what the Dispatchers loadsheet is based on. Some airlines do work on the accurate weight, which is added to all the other accurate weights and divided by the number of bags in total to create a more accurate average weight than the airlines own assumed figure.
The reason bags are weighed individually is so that the check-in staff can be certain that it falls within your allowance, (and can calculate the excess baggage fee if it doesnt) and/or so that they know wether it needs a HEAVY tag to identify it to the baggage team.
Another reason they may ask about boot bags/skis etc, is that some airlines like sporting equipment to be placed in a separate hold or container.

Thanks Ops Guy.
I wonder why they advertise the use if the sim to the public but then don't respond to any emails?
On another subject, I need to get to Barcelona next Tuesday but it seems as though Easyjet don't fly that route on Tuesdays.......dose anyone know any reason why?
Looks like i'm going to have to go via Heathrow or Schipol now at great expense!

EasyJet have cut frequencies quite a lot over this winter and not just from Newcastle. Paris used to be twice daily a couple of years ago. At present you cannot book a flight there before Sunday and there are no flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays until 30 March.

Quick question, but flying from Newcastle to Tenerife with Jet2 in a few weeks time, do these flights normally involve being bussed out, or does the 757 get a stand at the terminal?
Cheers

Graham K,
Jet2s 757 only flys Friday,Saturday and Sunday from NCL at the moment so the rest of the week it is parked on the remote stands. Sometimes it is towed onto a stand at the terminal if there is one free some times it isn't ,Depends if there are staff available to tow the aircraft over.

Jet2's programme for next winter has been on sale for a few weeks. As usual it's pretty limited and with the oil price likely to rise I would not expect to see expansion elsewhere.

On another thread there is a rumour that Eastern is to base an EMB135 at NCL. Does anyone have information on this?...will it be used on existing routes or is it for new routes?

Seems to have gone all quiet on the western front, any news whatsoever coming from the airport?
2011 see's Florida flights start in April, first time this has happened for many a year is it not? (SFB in April, not SFB flights in general
).

EK
In speaking to "the informed" then I understand that it is no longer a question of "IF" but rather "WHEN" as the decision has now been made within EK to upgrade the NCL-DXB to a 777, timing being dependent upon the availability of a specific version of aircraft from fleet, as due to operating restrictions then only one version is able to comply.
Now if I was in marketing then it would seem that 26 July would be too good an oportunity to miss to showcase the forthcoming product
