Hi, Can anyone give me some idea of the cost of an extra case , 20kg . Flying THY from BHX to Ercan. The Airline info is a bit confusing and previous posts on this are a bit out of date. Thank You

Turkish airlines have different rates for excess baggage depending upon the Zone your departure airport is in.

Go to this website
http://Www.turkishairlines.com/en-uk/tr ... ss-baggage

Once on the site click on International Flights Excess baggage.
This will bring up a page with Zones. Birmingham BHX is in Zone 4 and the cost per kilo is €10

You might be better off ringing them and speaking to someone, because there may be a difference between 'excess baggage' and an extra bag...

If not, take a look at the BA website - rubbish food now, but generous with luggage! (The last time that I looked! )

Too late to change now. However, you have a point about the "extra bag". I have a feeling they will suggest an upgrade from Economy to Business Class which could be marginally cheaper. Thanks Keith.

If there's any clothes in your main luggage, wear 'em!
