Hi Ray.
I have just checked our boarding passes for our first easyjet journey next month and it does not state anything about any hold luggage, just one piece of hand luggage, however I have also printed the flight confirmation which clearly states we have paid for hold luggage, maybe you can do the same.

however it is well documented on their website and they are quite strict at implementing the one hold bag rule. For females you cannot have a handbag and a hold bag


I think you've mixed up a bit here. The 1 bag rule is for hand luggage not hold luggage. You can have more than 1 in the hold as long as you pay for it.

To check in online you use your booking reference and name. But to view the full flight details you need the reference and booker's email address and account password. People like Ray who are booked by a travel agent aren't going to have those so can't check what luggage is booked or whether the API was entered correctly. And they won't get the confirmation email either, it will go to the booking agent. As will any emails about late alterations to schedules etc. And if the flight is cancelled you can't get at the page that allows you to rebook or get a refund, the agent would have to do it. Easyjet was not originally intended to be sold via agents so their systems don't really allow for it - don't even think about suggesting easyjet should spend a load of money changing their systems, the amount of profit agents bring them isn't worth the cost.

I do apologise. I wrote my post far too early this morning and was obviously still half asleep. I realised after that Ray was talking about hold luggage and I am wittering about hand luggage. I also made the mistake of meaning to say "hand" luggage and typed "hold" luggage per Shirley's post above. So Ray, just ignore my garbled post above :duh :wave:

I had this as well Ray. I booked a holiday with James Villas & they used Easyjet flights for the 4 of us. If I had booked direct I would only have bothered with 2 hold bags, but James Villas automatically charged for 4. :duh I couldn't see the hold baggage shown on the documentation I was sent either, but as Steve says they were not originally intended to be used by TO's, so their systems don't seem to show this.

We had no problems at check in, James Villas must have informed Easy that we had paid for 4 bags to be checked, so I wouldn't worry.

I've asked this question before but am going to ask again just in case anything has changed. I fly to Sharm El Sheikh on the 11th Oct and it says on our original booking email that we fly from Terminal1 Manchester. I have just chequed in online and and it also says Terminal 1 Manchester. I have always flown from Terminal 3 and believe that it is the only terminal that easy jet fly from. I Phoned easyjet about 6 weeks ago and they said it will be terminal 3, so why does it say terminal 1 on all my documents? I'm just a little worried as we have booked parking and everything and don't want to trekking from one place to another with all the bags in tow. Is there anybody else on this flight with the same info? Thanks

New service to Berlin and Kefalonia

EasyJet has begun direct flights between Manchester and Berlin and Gatwick and the Greek island of Kefalonia.

The low-cost airline will start selling Gatwick to Kefalonia on 20 October.

It will fly to the German capital city five times a week from today and hopes to attract visitors to the popular Christmas markets in Germany which start on 22 November.

"We're pleased to be strengthening our presence at Manchester Airport and increasing choice for leisure and business travellers in the region with the launch of the only direct service to Berlin," said UK commercial manager at easyJet, Ali Gayward.

The new service to Berlin is the third new easyJet route from Manchester this year.

A new route to Palma, Mallorca began in March followed by a new three-times-weekly service to Bilbao in June.

Twice-daily flights to Belfast will also start operating later this month.

To Stella7 - looking at Easyjet Manchester departures for today/tomorrow everything is from terminal 3 so that it probably where you're flight will go from.
Anyway, terminals 1 and 3 are adjacent to each other (internal connection) so its not far from one to the other (not that you can say the same for terminal 2)

Thankyou Astens,

It never entered my head to look at departures.

Hi ,

Anyone know where the plane used for Easyjet flight EZY1973 (Manchester to Paphos) has been beforehand on 21 October and what time that incoming flight is due in to Manchester ?

Thanks.

The identity details you need to add with Easyjet before flying with them... i've done all that, included all the passport details but when we log in it's still saying something like 'important identity information needs to be added to your details'. Is it normal that that message still appears when we've already put the information in?

Oh, and I'm assuming children can't occupy the exit seats?

They have to be 16 or over.

.. If you continue reading that page, you'll come to a piece which reads " Thankyou for providing Advance Passenger Information" which only shows when the necessary info. has been received. Badly worded, I agree. :roll: :roll:

Just thought i'd post now that we're back from Majorca to say that I was really quite impressed with Easy Jet considering my reservations. Flights were on time, speedy boarding worked well at both Bristol and Palma (provided your straight to the gate when it's displayed on the screens) and I will definitely be using them again.

Does anyone know when Easyjet will release flights for October 2012?

I was looking to book a flight with Easyjet and it came out at the top of what I was prepared to pay. I filled in all my payment details and clicked to buy the flight, but the screen hung for a bit and then changed to say that the price had gone up by over £40. I clicked "Continue" thinking I would get the option to change the flight details or cancel it, however evidently this action confirmed the purchase at the higher price. So I feel a bit of a Muppet!

Is there anything I can do about this (the extra cost, not my being a Muppet) or would I be wasting my time complaining to Easyjet?

Thank you.

You could try appealing to their better nature but I don't think you'll get very far.

From the sound of it somebody else just pipped you to the post and bought the last seats available in that price band and the website was flagging up that the only available seats were in the next price band up and would cost £40 more. I think that Easyjet would argue that the website did give you fair warning that the price had gone up by £40 by the time you reached that point in the transaction and that if you wanted to try for an alternative flight or to cancel that you should have done so at that point by going 'Back' rather then clicking on 'Continue'. In my experience with any on-line purchase, once you've entered in your card details and click on 'Continue', the next screen always confirms the purchase at whatever price was last displayed and there is no going back.

Sorry, but I think that you would be wasting your time.

Hi - I'm flying Easyjet 1903 Man/Tenerife on Sat 3rd Dec. Do you know which aircraft it will be please, also can I find out its previous route into Manchester, just so I can have a good idea which gate it will be waiting at?

Vivien-Marie,

MAN-TFS-MAN (EZY1903/4) are operated by an Airbus A320-200. The flight comes in from Alicante.
