    Its a few weeks off and about the same time as I booked at Easter .. I'll defo bear this in mind before I book with them again!

    Just decide at the outset whether you want hold baggage or not.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    But is HAND luggage actually that or is it really a small suitcase with wheels that barely fits into the overhead locker? :mad:

    Yes, it's a fair-sized bag - 10 kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm

    Easily big enough for short trips.

    OK, because with Easyjet it means that most people take the Michael and take a small suitcase on wheels as hand luggage in an attempt to avoid hold luggage fees.

    In my opinion, if it has wheels then it is hardly HAND luggage!!

    If it's small enough it can have wheels, nipple tassles or anything else for all I care.

    Except perhaps if there was no more room in the overhead lockers due to the extra room those wheels take up, leaving you to have luggage on your lap throughout the flight?

    The dimensions specified include the wheels.

    I know what the dimensions state, it's a pity the overhead lockers don't reflect that.

    So I ask again - would you be happy to sit with luggage on your lap for the duration of a flight because there is no room above due to the fact that everybody has decided to carry all their luggage in the cabin rather than just keep it to the stuff they need for the flight?
