Larger Items: Sports, Diving, and Musical Instruments
- Sports equipment: Contact Thomson Airways at least 2 months before you travel to pre-book sports equipment onto your flight. If you don't pre-book, Thomson Airways may refuse to carry your equipment when you get to the airport.
- Diving equipment: If you're carrying diving equipment and you show your diving certificate at check-in, Thomson Airways will give you an extra 5 kg (approx. 11 lbs.) baggage allowance free. If you've got more equipment, you must check it in for an extra charge.
- If your instrument is larger than the maximum hand baggage dimensions, you'll need to check it in for an extra charge.

CPAP Devices:
You can take a CPAP machine if you're travelling with TUI. We'll carry it free of charge, but we recommend you take a doctor's letter with you when you travel.
