“Bag pooling” airline hack that could save UK travellers to Spain a few pennies this summer
Fancy packing more than your ticket allows without paying a penny extra? With a bit of team work between you […]
The phrase "bag pooling" could help UK travelers to Spain save money on baggage fees this summer. This practice allows passengers to combine their checked luggage allowances with their fellow travelers, avoiding the additional charges for exceeding weight limits on individual bags. Airlines such as Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, and TUI offer this option, typically permitting a maximum weight of 15kg, 20kg, or 23kg per bag.
However, rather than adhering strictly to these limits, travelers can pool their total weight across multiple bags to accommodate everyone's needs. For example, two passengers each booking a 23kg bag can share a total of 46kg, with one carrying 15kg and the other 30kg. Restrictions vary slightly among carriers; EasyJet, Ryanair, and Jet2 cap individual bags at 32kg when pooling, while TUI has a stricter 25kg limit per bag.
To avoid any surprises, travelers should always verify their airline's specific policy before their flight. Pooled baggage applies solely to checked hold luggage, not cabin bags or sports equipment. The "Manage my booking" section or the airline's official FAQs page can provide the necessary information.
