We stressed and argued about the weight of suitcases and hand luggage and juggled clothes and possessions around to balance it all out. But we need not gave bothered as we sailed through the check in without a problem, Carole carrying 7 kg in her hand bag and each of us carrying three items but only weighing one each( the lightest). It's all pot luck whether or not they pick you up on it.
Having checked in we proceeded to security but were redirected by a Thomas cook nazi to a queue, even though we are nothing to do with her or her employers. Give some people a little power and they go stark raving mad and invade Poland.
