Title: easyjet hand luggage weight
Post by: DaisysMum on April 06, 2012, 10:27:24 PM
Hi All

Thinking of booking easyjet from Bristol to Corfu in September.  I'm a bit confused with their hand luggage rules, is there no limit to the weight as long as you adhere to the dimensions of the bag/case?

Thanks
Becky

Correct Becky. They have a cage it must fit in but they don't get weighed. There has been a lot of controversy about whether the cages are accurate, but we have never had a problem at Bristol, where we almost always fly from.

Hope this helps
Phil

Hi Phil

Thanks for the reply.

Our two cases including wheels are very close to the dimensions they state, so I might have to opt for something a tad smaller to be sure that they fit in their crate.  I would hate to get to the airport and have a problem.

I often go with EJ just with hand luggage. Thye have never really inspected the size of my bag and so long as you can lift it into the overhaed locker, there is no problem.

Thanks to all of you for your replies.

In the end, we've decided to pay extra and go via the Thomson flight from Exeter on Fri 31st Aug.

Next year I'll try to be quick and nab the flights from easyjet when they first come out.

I've just done the Easyjet thing and several people got caught on the hand baggage size !!
£40 extra if you get caught at the gate !!
On the return flight people were having the size checked at "check in" and then if its too big
I think it was £25 extra and it had to go in the hold ...
I suppose they have to make money somehow ??

BUT IT IS ALL WORTH IT !!!!!!

daisyday, they vary. But if you keep looking on forum, you will get the tip-off you need for your area. Book straight away to get the best deal. Worry about accommodation later - you will always find it, and usually in your first choice. And taxi transfers best arranged with your accommodation.

Our three weeks in July will cost just under £800 for both of us.

Our Thorpe doesn't seem to get enough praise on the forum as far as I can see. He or she has saved me hundreds of pounds by tipping me off about the EJ schedules. Let this post be my acknowledgement of that. Thanks Thorpe, if I ever meet you in Arillas, it's dinner at Thalassa.
