Thomas Cook luggage | Travelling with infants
Thomas Cook luggage policy states that infants do not have a hand luggage policy. However, they do have 10 kg of check-in baggage allowance. At the same time, any infant milk or baby food can be carried within the parents’ hand luggage allowance. It is important to note that milk and boiled water would need to be in a clear infant bottle and may need to be tasted.

According to Thomas Cook baggage allowance policy, all sports equipment must be registered no later than eight hours prior to departure. Thomas cook sports equipment allowance policy divides the equipment into two groups.

The prices for group A can be up to £60 for certain destinations and for group B the prices can be even higher (£65). It is important to note that, according to Thomas Cook sports equipment policy, any other sporting equipment (e.g. tennis, squash and badminton equipment, inline skates, archery bows, horse riding equipment, mountaineering equipment) can also be included in the baggage allowance. For baggage that exceeds the stated allowance, excess baggage charges will apply. The prices, in this case, vary and can be even £12 per kilo!
Thomas Cook musical instruments
Thomas Cook baggage allowance policy does not clarify whether they are special rules and prices that apply for boarding the plane along with a musical instrument, such as a guitar or a violin. Therefore, we advise you to contact the airline company if you are planning to do so.

Thomas Cook pet policy only states that passengers can transport their pets as cargo in the cargo hold. It is not clarified whether any charges apply or what kind of animals are allowed in the cargo hold. We recommend you to contact Thomas Cook in advance if you are planning to travel with a pet.
