Advantages: None so far

Disadvantages: Luggage weight limit

I'm booked on a diving holiday in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, and am flying out of Gatwick.
The Tour compay told me that luggage allowance is 20kg (normal for a charter flight) plus 10kg for diving equipment. Having been to the Red Sea som 14 times before, I phoned to check, and was told that "we have switched to a smaller aircraft for the winter, so the allowance is 20kg only. Any excess will be charged at £5/kg". This is really not acceptable for a flight designed to cater for travellers to one of the prime diving locations in the world.
If you are booked on an Excel flight - do check - call them on 0870 1677747.
