Easyjet 'Extra Legroom'
Can anyone who has actually used this facility tell me whether or not it includes checked baggage - as in 'hands free'? The site confusingly does not mention that it includes it, but does say that it includes 'dedicated bag drop'. I don't mind paying the extra £5 for 'hands free', but I obviously don't want to effectively…

It's been many years since I flew to Australia from the UK. Then it was just simple Economy class as distinct from Business and First, and without a load of chargeable options to confuse me.

How does Hertz avoid the 14 days money back law?
About to book a hertz car and I notice that they no longer give a free refund if you change your mind. I thought under UK law you have 14 days to change your mind when purchasing online? Hertz now charge £30 to cancel the booking, even within 5 minutes! It previously gave a 7 day free cancellation period. Is this legal?

I paid for a SAGA holiday flying with Ryan Air back in February. After reading MSE emails, I contacted SAGA about boarding passes and they send out boarding passes before travel so that takes care of people having to print them.

Sounds weird I know, but is a steam iron (with the water drained out) likely to get through security? I'm flying British Airways if that is relevant. It is fairly heavy so I don't want to send it in the post if I can avoid it.
