Holiday questions

[A[L]C]

Hi all,

We're looking at taking our first holiday as a family. We're a family of 2x adults, 1x 4year old and 1x 18month old.

Booking through thomas cook for turkey, 11 nights all inclusive. Comes out around £1400.

Looking at the extra -

Your standard luggage allowance is 15 kg per person. You can add an extra 5 kg allowance per person for your whole party for just £45.00 for the whole party

Now im guessing the infant doesnt get any allowance as standard. Is 45kg enough for all of us or do you think the extra is worth it? I have no idea how much stuff weighs!!

Second thing is travel insurance....

Adults x £24.99

Children x £9.99

Infants x £0.00

Travel Insurance total £59.97

Is this reasonable or should we look elsewhere?

Thanks so much.

There are a number of bank accounts that include travel insurance as part of the policy, I have a barclays additions account which is £15 a month but includes full RAC breakdown cover, home boiler cover as long as your boiler is under 15 years old and serviced, domestic emergency insurance blocked toilet etc and a load more.

if you don't have any of this cover it might be worth looking to see if your bank offers something similar.

Re the baggage, 45kg is quite a lot for a hot country, you'll only be taking lightweight clothes, i'd pack what i'm likely to take and weigh it before spending that, most people take way too much, there's usually a launderette on site so washing is fairly easy, don't forget to leave a bit of baggage weight for things you may buy out there
