We was married in Malta last year with Airtours, your wedding stuff goes in the hold with the rest of you luggage, make sure you take some sort of confirmation with you for your extra baggage allowance just in case, last thing you need is hassle of anyone trying to charge you for excess.

Hi.I got married at Grecian Sands last September.We went with Thomas Cook and we had 10kgs extra luggage allowance.I put my dress in the suitcase in a dress bag and it was fine.In fact, we got my dress,my husbands suit, shoes, accessories etc in too.Don%26#39;t worry if your dress is a bit creased when you get there as the hotel will hang it in a special wedding room and steam it if needs it.

I would say take the letter confirming your extra allowance with you when you check-in.

Hi, we are flying with euro cypriot airlines and we have not been given any extra baggage allowance for our suit and wedding dress. Is anyone else travelling with these and have you been given any extra baggage allowance. the only way we can get some is to pay nearly £100

Hi

We also went with Euro Cypria to my daughters wedding in June and I bought a wedding dress box from the box company via the internet and took her dress in that as my hand luggage as the hand luggage allowance was more than Thomas Cook who my daughter went with.

Any questions just ask

I got married last year in Napa and flew with TC. I had a massive suitcase and 15kgs extra luggage allowance. I didnt take any proof with me but I phoned the travel agents before hand and asked for TC check in desk at the airport and I checked with them. I got my dress, hubbys suit and both bridesmaids dresses in the case. I nearly cried though when I had to let go of the case and watch it disappear. I couldnt relax during the flight wondering if my dress was on the plane or not. I nearly cried again with relief when I saw it appear in Cyprus. Good luck for your big day

think thats just how i will feel but gotta do it .i would rather that than take it as hand luggage as still got bridesmaid dresses and hubby suit etc so ill put all in case. my travel agent said they will have all details at the tc desk as it dosent show on tickets.
