Students can take advantage of
our year-round, double-baggage
allowance, which is particularly
cost-effective for those travelling to
destinations far and wide to further
their education. It means that all
those with a valid student ID card can
travel with two items of hold luggage
weighing up to 46kg while only paying
the price for one 23kg item.

Marking 15 years
Crew recently celebrated 15 years
of our popular service between
Southampton to Belfast City. To mark
the milestone, Southampton Airport
organised this impressive cake, and
passengers enjoyed a performance by
traditional Irish dancers. The passenger
seated in 15B (the B standing for
Belfast) was also surprised with a
voucher for two free return flights. Roy
Kinnear, Chief Commercial Officer,
said: “In 15 years, the route has gone
from strength to strength and we now
operate up to three flights a day to the
heart of Northern Ireland’s capital, the
airport being a mere 10 minutes from
the bustling city centre.”
September is Childhood Cancer
Awareness Month, and Cancer
Research UK Kids & Teens is
encouraging the public to come
together to help raise awareness and
money for young people’s cancers.
Every year, around 4,500 children
and young people (aged 0-24) are
diagnosed with cancer in the UK.
Today, around eight in 10 young
cancer patients in the UK survive their
disease for at least five years – that’s
more than ever before. And it’s thanks
in large part to the work of Cancer
Research UK.
But we need to do more. Cancer
still claims the lives of around 520
children and young people each year
in the UK. And those who survive often
experience long-term side effects, like
hearing loss and fertility problems, which
can affect them for the rest of their lives.
The charity’s researchers are
working to develop new, better and
kinder treatments with fewer side
effects. Cancer Research UK is the only
UK charity that funds a Clinical Trials
Unit dedicated to running trials for all
children’s cancers.
Support Childhood Cancer
Awareness Month by donating to the
campaign, buying a gold ribbon pin
badge from Cancer Research UK and
TK Maxx shops, or donating a bag of
pre-loved quality clothes, accessories
and homeware to your local Cancer
Research UK or TK Maxx store as part
of the Give Up Clothes for Good
campaign.

future as they move on to further their
education.
“This means we are in the midst of
the peak travel time for those heading
off to colleges and universities for the
first time, and also for those returning
for the start of a new academic year.
“We appreciate that it’s often very
stressful for students having to live
away from home or commute weekly.
Travelling with heavy belongings and
books only adds to that stress. So we
hope that this generous hold-luggage
allowance, helps especially those who
have no other convenient option but
to fly.”
To benefit from the offer, students only
need to book one standard item of hold
luggage and produce a valid form of
student ID at the airport Bag Drop. The
additional bag will then be checked in at
no extra cost.
