Monarch Airlines Checked Baggage Fees 2016 - Checked Bag Weight & Size Limits

You are allowed 20kg of hold baggage upon payment of the hold baggage fee. You may share your weight allowance over a maximum of 5 pieces of luggage (upon payment of each bag fee) but the combined total weight of these pieces must not exceed 20kg per person.

Hold Baggage fees range from £15.00 (€21,00) to £40.00 (€56) when purchased online, and are higher when paid for at the airport. [AMZ asins='B00LB7REFK,B082K8ZNQ1,B07ZWLQF9T,B00NW62PCA']

Any hold baggage which exceeds 20kg will be charged at the current excess baggage fees per kilogram.

The maximum weight of any piece of hold baggage must not exceed 32kg. Any piece of baggage over this weight will not be accepted for carriage. This restriction has been put in place by airport authorities to help reduce manual handling injuries amongst airport staff.

Combining hold baggage allowance
-----------------------------------------------------------

If you are travelling with a companion you can pool your baggage allowance with a partner/travelling companion, provided both of you have paid the relevant hold baggage fees. For example:

1 Passenger purchases 1 bag - The passenger gets 20kg of hold baggage allowance
1 Passenger purchases 2 bags - The passenger gets 20kg of hold baggage allowance, split between two bags.
2 Passengers purchase 1 bag - The passengers get 20kg of hold baggage allowance between the two (20kg in total).
2 Passengers purchase 2 bags - EACH passenger gets 20kg of hold baggage allowance (40kg in total)
2 Passengers purchase 3 bags - EACH passenger gets 20kg of hold baggage allowance (40kg in total), split between three bags.

Hold baggage fees are non-refundable even if the hold baggage allowance you pay for is not used.
