sammybonny Posted September 27, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I think Thomson flights are Terminal 2 and Thomas Cook Terminal 1. I dont think its possible to check in baggage the day before because they are P and O charter flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzyb Posted September 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Sorry, should have stated P&O charter flights to Barbados not sure if it is T.Cook or Thomson airlines. You'll need to find out which airline. As posted above, Thomas Cook & Thomson depart from different terminals.

yamanid Posted October 4, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Could someone please inform as to which terminal in Manchester Airport that the flights leave for Barbados. Not sure if it is Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 and is it possible to check bags in on the night before. Thanks Will definitely NOT allow you to check your luggage in the night before - have tried for years and always get told NO because it is a Cruise and a Charter Flight, Helen - such a bummer!!! We are Thomson again this year and fly from Terminal 2:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groovechick Posted October 5, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Slightly off thread, but may be useful for people to know: my sister flew from Manchester to Rome last weekend. They bought a litre of vodka in duty free to take with them, which was marked at £11, but when they got to the check-out they were told it was £22. When they asked why, they were told "Because we're not in the EU any more!" Err, yes we are, for approx. the next 2 years!! So beware if you are planning to buy any duty free on your way out. They were then told that if they were from Turkey they would only pay £11. Err, Turkey is not in the EU!! Absolutely shameful money-grabbing by whichever organisation is in charge of duty free at the airport, and quite possibly illegal. BTW, when they went through passport control/Customs, they asked which channel they should go through and were told "EU of course!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are only allowed to buy goods at duty free prices at the airport if your destination airport is outside the EU , this isnt something new and has been so for many years. We are allowed to buy at duty free prices when flying to thd Canary Islands because they are not in thd EU. I suppose once we leave the EU officially we will then be allowed to buy duty free when travelling to the continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Cuba in May and had an excellent holiday so are going back there in May 2017. Very sorry to hear that Scot has been ill all the best to both of you and hope you resume your cruising as soon as possible . Jim&Sandra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ sammybonny. The Canary Islands are in the EU because they are a province of Spain. We bought duty free flying to Germany two years ago, and before flying to Malta too.

Sanjam cruisers Posted October 6, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Groovechic While the Canary Islands are part of Spain they are not in the EU they have the same status as The Channel Islands and Gibralter for tax purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canary Islands are within the EU but are not part of the EU for customs purposes. https://www.gov.uk/duty-free-goods/arrivals-from-eu-countries If you are flying to Germany, this is within the EU and therefore anything you purchased will have been duty paid.

As someone who has regularly travelled to EU countries and Turkey it is only when going to Turkey that I have been able to buy duty free one litre bottles of alcohol for £11. As others have said this would apply to the Canary and Channel Islands plus Gibraltar as they have special tax arrangements. At Manchester the duty paid alcohol that you can buy for EU countries is more expensive than the local supermarket as I experienced 3 weeks ago when I went to Greece.
