Easyjet Questions and Travel Restrictions

[Taylor]

So I am looking to cancel my coach to AMS for £56 and book with Easyjet. Leaving gatwick on the 1st aug at 6:10am arriving 8:15am. returning on the 5th in the evening.

Now in the interest of saving money are Easyjet strict with the size of hand luggage. I was thinking of just packing a hand luggage bag. But then again I wanted to pickup a few pieces out there like a decent RooR piece maybe some other stuff. I am just curious as to the sizes they allow you to get away with. Some forums online say they are extremely strict, Some say you can get away with an oversized bag.

What are your experiences?

My experience, you can't get away with an oversized bag. There is usually someone checking to make sure they are within limits.

They allow hand luggage & a carrier bag for duty free... The carrier bag has saved me on both ryanair and easyjet.

I've always found they're stricter going out than they are coming back, just be aware of the stupid price they'll charge you to book a bag in once you're there though.

I used 2 bags on the way out , a sports bag(in the hold) & a small rucksack as carry on .
On the way home , everything went in the sports bag & I took that on as carry on(by mistake as it happens ) the bag was bulging it's 25ins by 15ins by 12ins if that helps , I did make sure I was 1 of the first on so that my bag went in the overhead 1st

Yeah it's £40 to check a bag at the airport. And since I was planning to take a holdal I wouldnt want to have to check it see. :s

It depends on who's at the counter or the gate and they can get bitchy if the carrier bag isn't from a shop inside the terminal. 56 x 45 x 25cm.

last few trips with easyjet they look at bag then ask you to put in a metal box thing which is 56 x 45 x 25cm if it dont fit your screwed saw loads fail

agree with boner, ryan air and easy jet seem to be much stricter on your bag fitting the metal frame in the UK than in holland... i have witnessed it happening too

just take hand luggage, taking a suitcase on my first trip was the biggest mistake i ever made, waiting at the airport for my case defo took up a good portion of my smoking time!! and i use easyjet everytime i go dam and have never been asked about the size of my bag and trust me my carry on bag aint too far off being a suitcase lol

Well, i usually just buy a magazine for the flight... They'll give you a bag if you ask!

just flew back from NI and the sleazyjet staff were being right cunts about bag size, charged 2 people 40 quid because the handle of their bag stopped it from fitting into the metal measuring frame and made all the wimmin put their hanklebags into their carry on bags....fookers. Speedy boarders?....gullibale impatient tossers!.

Speedy boarders?....gullibale impatient tossers!.

+1 20 quid just to get on the plane about 5 minutes quicker, fuck that.

I've used a good sized holdall everytime for hand luggage, never had to pay any extra. I use online check-in so you dont really have to deal with anyone. No worries
