Does anyone know why T Cook only allow 5kg of hand luggage in something the size of a small case when others give 10kg and EZY give you any weight (subject to dimension limits) so long as you can get it into the overhead locker yourself? It can't be a load/balance problem as they all fly the same aircraft types, broadly speaking. I like to travel hand luggage only but 5kgs doesn't work for me!

Thanks for the statement of the obvious! The question was not how do I get more than 5kg - it was why will one airline give 5kg, others 10kg and others more than that? Ezy are cheaper than TC on fares but don't fly to where I want to go.

Money.

You want more than 5Kg = you pay them more money.

It could be something to do with seating density. With more seats there would be more bags that have to fit in the existing space. Perhaps it is something to do with that.

Paxboy - please re-read my post #142!

Does there need to be a reason? Maybe it just is, that's why. That may just be the TC Business model, and for many people, it appears to work. If it doesn't work for you, there is always the option to exercise your ultimate right as a consumer to choose an alternative provider.

Much of the infrastructure to support this will be housed in Lufthansa's new Tier 3 datacentre in Welwyn, Hertfordshire, UK.

I've never had a good landing at Glasgow, Plane constantly in turbulence going up and down and heavy landings and yes rain.
