Usually temperatures in Tuscany can be quite unpredictable. Historically however, the temperature in October tends to be highs of 22°C and lows of 11°C.

By 'smart casual' wear this tends to mean any of the following: chinos, jeans, blazers and jackets, converse shoes, polo shirts, blouses, skirts, trousers, cropped shorts.

With regards to your flight, you can check in your luggage early at LGW:

British Airways

Opening hours: 16:00 - 22:00

Eligible flights: All next-day flights departing before 15:15. Use the self-service check-in kiosks, then deposit your baggage at the fast bag drop in zone A.

Cost: free

Other conditions: all passengers must be present at check-in

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Are you able to give an estimated perhaps average temperature for Tuscany in October please.

Also, people talk of smart casual wear; what does that mean exactly?

Lastly, I am staying in a Gatwick hotel the night before the flight. Am I able to check in my luggage then? 

Many thanks.
