    Asked on August 4th, 2025

    What kind of luggage is permitted?

    Tour Details
    • Firebird ToursOperatorWritten August 2025

      The standard allowance per person is one checked-in suitcase and one handbag. While porterage is not included, the driver will assist with luggage handling between the airport and hotel and between the locations. If any traveler expects to bring more than one suitcase, we ask that this be discussed with us in advance.

      Olga

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      I want to investigate other flights such as Tampa to one of London's airports, then taking a smaller flight into Edinburgh, such as Easy Jet, etc. I think it would be less turn around time and more efficient.
