Thomson flights, Free check in bag?

[JCKST1]

Hi

I have a flight booked in March going to Alicante with Thomson. I was looking online and noticed this:
http://www.thomson.co.uk/editorial/simply/terms/ba...

It states free total baggage allowance of 15kg baggage and maximum 5kg of hand baggage. Does that mean I can check in 15kg for free plus my hand luggage at 5kg?
Seems a little strange considering most other charge you the earth for the same option. Have I read this correct or is it old terms and conditions?

Thanks

Phahahhaha I just spat my coffee out

Hahaha. I know it sounds pretty daft but looking online there is another set of T&C's which say the same except 'free' plus when you go to check out they try to charge you for check in although I think it stated 22kg.

Just wanted to know if anyone had actually paid for it or not as I dont want to show up with a suitcase and them charge me over the odds for it!

Is it a package deal?Iif so, you may get that included but when I went to Gran Canaria recently, as I understand it, your hand luggage is all you can take at 5kg/dimensions stated (though they didn't check the weight and I'd stuck a Nexus 7 in my jacket pocket and had 2 cameras round my neck..).

I'd certainly check with them first as the normal check-in baggage allowance is 20kg.

No its just the flight for me and my girlfriend.

I will try giving them a call when I get chance. Cheers

Flights vary in price depending on how full the aircraft is though. It has been suggested there is a sweet spot about 26 or 36 days before the flight. When I booked mine, it was just starting to go up again so I ended up paying £178 instead of £168 I think it was. So it could still be a sale for the time you booked but prices will go down or up dependent on how the bookings are going.

Holiday is for sept and when we booked there was only 4 spaces left. Less than a week after the sale ended the price went down by £200 and there was 16 spaces left.
Don't mind a price difference of a tenner but £200 is out of order.
It did say sale 10% off this holiday.
