Luggage weight limits & size in Europe
Last Updated: 15th May 2013
More Tour and Travel Advice for Europe
Contiki Tours in Europe have a luggage restriction of 1 × 20 kilogram (44lbs) bag and 1 x carry on (roughly 5 kilograms/12lb) bag. This weight restriction is for legal requirements within the European Union as well as for your comfort and safety. The size restriction of you main luggage is 73cm x 50cm x 25cm (29″ × 20″ × 10″) is also observed.
Bags are not measured however you bags will be weighed on tours departing from London and this weight limit is strictly enforced.
Please ensure your luggage is of the correct size and weight before departure as these rules cannot be bent or broken.
If you are travelling on a Concept/Budget or Camping tour, your sleeping bag is separate and is not included in these restrictions (ie: your sleeping bag is not measured or weighted and can be separate from your luggage).
On tours with included flights as part of the itinerary, you’ll need to make sure your luggage doesn’t exceed the weight restrictions imposed by airlines. Contiki is not responsible for any costs incurred for overweight luggage.
For information regarding airline luggage fees & limits, please visit our comprehensive list linking to airline websites and their specific luggage restrictions.
Excess Baggage
If your luggage weighs more than this you have the option of storing your excess luggage the day or evening before the tour departs. The Contiki Basement offers luggage storage as does the Royal National Hotel for people staying there (both at a cost).
Please note: If you are not returning to London you should take note of this as you will not be able to carry excess luggage onto the coach when you leave London.

Hello all, just wondering if anyone can tell me if I’d be able to get away with a slightly larger bag than listed… it will definitely be under 20kg but since I’m travelling through Europe on my own after the tour I’d like a bigger bag… the measurements are 80cm x 57cm x 35cm…?

Okay so I have my luggage, that’s all fine and dandy, but can I bring a carry-on that is less than 12 lbs AND a purse/camera bag? My airline allows that, so I hope Contiki does…………….

The main idea of online shopping is not just in having a good looking website that could be listed in a lot of search engines or the art behind the site. It also is not only just about disseminating information, because it is also about building relationships and making money. Mostly, braindumps / a+ braindumps / ase braindumps / ccda braindumps / ccent braindumps / ccia braindumps / ccie braindumps / ccip braindumps organizations try to adopt techniques of online shopping without understanding these techniques and/or without a sound business model. Rather than supporting the organization’s culture and brand name, the website should satisfy consumer’s expectations.

When I travel to Barcelona I am dropping off some gifts for friends. Is it possible to weigh them separately and then pick up the matching amount of weight in new luggage from my friend’s Barcelona apartment?

Hi everyone, my traveling buddy had talked to someone from Contiki and was apparently told that our bags cannot have a metal frame or support? I thought basically all suitcases have a metal frame? Going on the European Discovery tour in September. Any comments are appreciated!

So i just booked my first european tour and had a question about carry-on… Im a photographer and I am so not gonna leave half of my camera gear at home when im traveling to europe. I am a smart packer when it comes to what camera gear to bring, my question is my camera bag is a backpack (it only carries my camera gear there is no space to use it as a backpack or anything else) will Contiki consider that as a carry-on or can i bring my camera gear and a carry-on.

The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
My advice would be to do as many excursions as you can. They are a great way to get to know your group, and they are always good fun.
If you are doing a time out tour (staying in hotels), a travel iron/hairdryer will come in handy as many european hotels do not provide these facilities.
