Don't Pay for Hold Luggage on Your TUI Holiday
TUI is the UK's biggest package holiday operator. If you're flying with them this summer, getting your cabin bag right could save you £25 to £60 in hold luggage fees. This guide tells you exactly what TUI allows, which bags from Neil's Luggage Store fit the rules, and how to pack smarter for your next TUI flight.
TUI Cabin Bag Allowance 2026
TUI allows one cabin bag measuring up to 55x40x20 cm in the overhead locker, included in every fare at no extra cost. There is no published weight limit for cabin bags, but your bag must fit in the overhead locker and you must be able to lift it yourself.
Important: TUI does not allow a separate personal item in addition to your cabin bag. One bag only.

TUI Cabin Bag Packing Tips

- There is no separate personal item allowance on TUI - one bag only
- Pack heavier items at the bottom of the case, closest to the wheels
- Use packing cubes to maximise space inside a 20-inch cabin case
- Hard-shell cases protect your belongings better than soft-shell in overhead lockers
