Sporting Equipment

Most airlines can accept most types of sports equipment - charges apply .All such items will travel on a weight and space-permitting basis only. You should also have insurance for these items.

Carriage of Sports Equipment

Thomas Cook Airlines charge for the carriage of sports equipment (this includes and is not limited to golf clubs, scuba diving, surfboards, windsurf and bikes). This equipment is not included as part of your baggage allowance. Charges by other airlines may also apply for the carriage of sporting equipment, this may be payable either at the time of booking, or at the airport prior to departure.

If you are planning to take sports equipment, please contact the relevant airline at the time of booking, and they will be able to provide details of prices.

If sports equipment is not pre-booked, excess baggage charges will apply. Sports equipment must usually be packed separately from other baggage, as these may need to be checked at check-in.

We recommend that all your sporting equipment be insured separately and secured in their bag, since more valuable or fragile items may not be covered by your insurance.

In Resort Transfers/Car Hire

If you are taking sports equipment we recommend you pre-book car hire as carriage of sports equipment on transfer coaches are subject to space and extra charges may apply. Although public transport/taxis will probably be available from all of our recommended accommodation, arrangement may be costly and/or time consuming.
