The Expat Luggage Dilemma: How to Find the Cheapest Flights with the Biggest Baggage Allowance to Turkey

As UK-based Turks, you are not just travelling; you are transporting gifts, essentials, and maybe a little piece of Britain back home. We know that the standard luggage limit just does not cut the mustard, and we understand that your priority is a straightforward trip, not a surprise bill.

This is why booking with a full-service travel agency like ours is the smartest decision for your journey home. At Right Holidays, we provide excellent value and certainty by ensuring you secure the necessary baggage allowance from the get go.

1. Our Focus is on True Value, Not Misleading Low Fares

When you look for flights online, those tempting headline prices often conceal significant costs later on. These are typically for "Basic Economy" fares that strictly limit you to a small cabin bag. They force you to fork out for high, last-minute fees for checked luggage, completely wiping out any initial savings.

Our Agency Promise: We focus on the total cost of your journey. We only book full-service tickets that include your checked baggage and offer the flexibility and security you need for a family trip. When you book with us, you are getting a transparent price that covers the full service you expect, with absolutely no sneaky luggage fees waiting for you at the airport check-in desk.

2. We Find the Best Baggage Allowance for Your Needs

We are not just booking a seat; we are booking a complete travel package. Our expertise lies in knowing which airline provides the best value on the UK-Turkey route specifically for travellers carrying generous luggage.

  • Weight System Advantage: We leverage our relationships with established carriers who are renowned for generous weight allowances, often 30kg or more per person. We ensure you benefit from these policies, which is essential for families and those bringing back gifts.

  • The Regional Airport Factor: If you are flying to a regional airport like Izmir or Adana, we ensure your baggage allowance carries through your entire journey, even if it involves a domestic connecting flight within Turkey. We remove the worry and risk of a baggage charge appearing unexpectedly during your connection.

3. We Handle the Management of Extra Weight

If you know you will exceed the standard allowance (perhaps you are bringing home a lot of hediyelikler), do not leave it to chance at the airport.

  • The Agency Savings: We can secure extra baggage allowances for you at the best available rates, before you travel. Pre-paying for an extra 5kg or 10kg is significantly more cost effective than paying the airline’s hefty fees at the check in counter.

  • Confidence at Check in: We factor this cost directly into your package, ensuring that your tickets are issued with the correct, generous allowance noted, giving you absolute confidence when you present your passport and bags.


Your journey home should be a joy, not a heavy lift. Let us handle the complexities of comparing airline policies and finding the full-service package that truly meets your family's needs, baggage and all.
