Our flight is at 6.30am, but I can't see anywhere that says I'm allowed to check in hold luggage, which is what she's done :que

When easyjet say 20kg hold luggage allowance is your hand luggage included in that weight as I can't see a weight for hand luggage just the size?

Glynis I am sure Easy Jet have unlimited weight for hand luggage as long as your hand luggage measures within their guidelines.

Also you can only carry one piece of hand luggage therefore could not carry a cabin case and a handbag.

Aww thanks for the quick reply sugarbabes. I keep looking through their info and can't see anything about hand luggage weight, I didn't want to get to the airport and be charged a fortune :rofl

Saw the bit about the handbag so will have to place mine at the top of Eastpak bag :tup

Unlimited weight within their measurements and you have to be able to put it in the overhead bin unaided ;)

Glynis,

In answer to your question hand luggage is in addition to your 20kg hold luggage.

Aww thanks everyone. That's not too bad then 20kg's and unlimited hand luggage weight :tup

My suitcase is hard bodied (and I daren't buy another suitcase) so was a bit concerned.

Glynis - I've packed shoes, jewellery, underwear, swimwear and books in my hand luggge, & it's still a manageable weight :tup

At many airports you can carry on a bag of 'stuff' bought airside in addition to your hand luggage allowance - this applies to all airlines even Ryanair (as mentioned and highlighted at East Midlands).

Dispensation provided to allow airside outlets to sell something as most passengers have bulging hand luggage / pockets before they hit these shops. Manchester, East Midlands and Bournmouth are a few you can do this - Stansted you cant !

This differs from my recent experiences flying with Easyjet, Monarch and Ryanair in/out of LGW/STN/BRS where the one piece of hand baggage has been strictly enforced.

Easyjet are trialling 2 pieces of hand baggage on certain routes until the end of this month:

Please remember that if your combined hand luggage does not fit inside the gauge, one of your items will have to be checked into the hold and we will charge a fee of £40/€50 for this item.


:duh

All done here. The hold case is coming in at 17kgs and the hand luggage at just over 5kgs a piece :tup

I've seen passengers trying to pack their airside purchases into cabin bags after being told by Easyjet staff that they can't carry two items on board.

I've left some room Judith - not much but a little :tup

I think it all depends on what time your flight departs. our flights from Gatwick leave at 7:00am and we have always checked our luggage in the night before, But with their one desk fits all flights policy there did'nt seem to be a problem on the day of departure.. Incidently I have checked in already for flights in November and December from Manchester, I did'nt think that you could that far away, but it seems to have worked.


You can do night before check in if your flight departs before 08.30am , otherwise check in on the day , the twilight checkin opens at 8pm onwards , you can do online checkin and print off your boarding cards which means you can then go to the bag drop checkin or go to the normal checkin desks whichever have the smallest queue

Hello all,

I have 1 bag at 20kg, however, feel I need more allowance. If I but the 2 bag's can 1 be 30kg and one say 10kg? Can the weight be combined still or are we now only allowed to have 20kg per bag as max weight? Sorry if this sounds dim but I tend to get a tad confused!!! :cheers :cheers :sun2 :sun2

ruth24s,

The maximum allowance per person is 20kg. Anything more than that is considered excess luggage and will get very expensive. If there are two of you travelling, it'll be cheaper for the second person to purchase hold luggage allowance as well giving you another 20kg. If one person books 2 bags, your allowance is still 20kg, but split over 2 bags, it's not 2x 20kg. All the details are on Easyjets website. The maximum allowable weight of a suitecase is 32kg. If you need more than 20kg, remember you can take as much in terms of weight in hand luggage, there's no weight restriction, providing you can lift it unaided in to the overhead storage bins on the aircraft and it's within the specified dimensions. Details here.
