20kg for economy travel unless you have a classic miles & smiles card then you get 23kg. If have a classic plus miles & smiles card you get 30kg. Well worth signing up for the card, doesn't cost anything.

Don't you just hate it when some one says "with respect". Especially when they are wrong!!!!!!!!

It depends on a combination of where you are flying to, type of aircraft and booking class. We usually got 20kg when flying ECN to MAN.

We fly regularly with Turkish airlines, hubby flew over with them last night, and have always had 23 kilo plus 8-10 kilo hand luggage and they are very lenient with excess, have been approximately 12 kilo over at Christmas and only paid £40 excess. Don't even bother weighing cases now as we know it's so cheap for the excess with them

Husband flew Manchester to Ercan on Wednesday and he definitely had 23kg allowance, but even if you are over it's literally about £5 a kg excess if you do get charged.

If you fly U.K. To Ercan economy it's 23kg + 8kg hand luggage. Flying Ercan to U.K. it's 20 + 8. I've never understood why it's different but for me it always has been.

I fly with Turkish Airlines and they used to give me 23kg but for the last 2 years it has been reduced to 20kg....don't know why. It should say it on your ticket, especially if you did it online. I went over to B'hm in October and this is my ticket which clearly shows 20kg.

Travelled 12 years with Turkish Airlines and turned up with as much as 25 plus kilos never had a problem to and from UK to Ercan, Barcelona etc Travelled to Manchester in July on 23 k plus. Arrived Manchester early Sept with 23 k. Charged excess. Got the miles and smiles The very nice man was charging everybody over 20 k because that is the limit. Flying again soon to different UK airport the e ticket now says 20 k. So make up your own mind.
