Spartacus1958 Posted January 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Cruising out of Southampton tomorrow and taken transfer from Manchester Airport by coach. Can anybody tell me if the baggage allowance on the coach is the same as the return flight with Tui? The info on Intercruises website slightly conflicts and I am worried I may have to take out a couple of pairs of budgie smugglers.....

My sister is travelling down on the Intercruise coach from Nottinghamshire, and she said yesterday that their maximum luggage weight for the coach should be 20kg. They, of course have packed to 23kg as per the ship limit. I very much doubt a coach driver will have a set of scales with them, or be a jobsworth about it; they don't get paid enough to worry about a couple of extra kilos. Don't stress about it; keep your budgie smugglers in, and for good measure stick a bottle of booze in there too. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom10 Posted January 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Certainly wouldn't put bottles of booze in any suitcase how they get thrown about by coach drivers and baggage handlers at the port.

FamilyCruiserUK Posted January 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 6, 2023 My mum gets coaches all the time national express and never had any issues before she does politely inform the driver if its heavy and that's shes going on an plane. Its just a 20kg limit for health and safety of the coach driver putting the bags on the coach. But you will be fine IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two times we flew out of Manchester to do the T A cruises ,the coach left the port around 10am . We had a comfort break 1/2 hour midway back to the airport and were back at the airport for around 2.30 /3pm . The driver offered to drop a couple off near the train station and the rest of us near the T2 arrivals . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
