Thanks for all the great and useful info... Please can anyone confirm whether we are allowed a handbag aswell as hand luggage, or do we have to stuff one inside the other?

Cheers

Handbag will have to go into the hand luggage, just the 1 bag allowed. They were strict on that 2 weeks ago when I flew, they never seemed bothered about hand luggage that was too big though, never seen any of it get put in the cage.

I was flying with easyjet a few months ago and got really annoyed with them. I had bought a paper and some water at the shop in the airport before security and when I was to board the plane they said that it has to be in one bag. The daft thing is that I just put my rucksack into the plastic bag and went on.
Also, does anyone know what the rules are about kids flying alone? My 14 year old daughter is wanting to visit relatives and the most feasible option is flying but the easyjet website isn't very clear about this...

section 13 - 14 year olds can travel unaccompanied (but they get no special assistance)

WOAH. so what you are saying is that because i keep checking the site for cheaper lower priced flights, they arent going to go down anymore?

So i have to clear my cookies? on all my laptops etc?

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm pretty sure you don't get 32kg allowance. 32kg is the maximum they will allow you to put in one case, you'd still have to pay excess baggage charges if you're over 20kg though.

Easyjet allow you to pool luggage so 2 people can travel with one bag of 32kg - which is the maximum any single bag bag can be due to Health & Safety Regs.

It benefits larger groups more, so a group of 5 who would have a luggage allowance of 100kg between them could get 96kg of it into 3 bags

I can confirm that luggage sharing of a case weighing up to 32kg is allowed and you dont get charged extra. I normally fly easyjet as there are 7 of us alltogether so it makes holidays affordable! It is a lot easier for us to carry 3 cases with combined luggage too rather than 7 seperate..plus its cheaper too:T
so to sum up 2 people traveling together packing in one case can have up to 32kgs and pay for one case instead of 2 and will not get charged any extra!

I need to get flights to Dusseldorf from London leaving on the 5th (has to be afternoon) and coming back on the 8th (has to be evening) August.

Flights are currently at £67 and im kicking myself for not getting them when they were 10 quid cheaper.

I have tried everything suggested on this thread.. gone on various different computers etc.

Now, i was discussing this with a collegue and he said to wait it out, as because the price has been the same for roughly two weeks, it means that noone is buying the seats at that price, and they will drop. Does anyone know if this happens? If not, i may just bit ethe bullet although i really dont want to have to pay £20 more for tix (for 2 people).. the more money i save, the better.

I may also wait and see if ryanair do them cheaper but august isnt in their "cheap flights" period at the moment and i refuse to pay more than £15 on ryanair flights due to it being SO expensive to get to and from the airport.

Its as if Easyjet heard my plea.

£10 of each flight because of the world cup. SCORE!

Can anyone confirm if 01582700036 customer services number for easyjet (bobsbit)still works as it rings but nobody picks up ! If not is there another `cheap` non 09 number to call ?

Cheers

You could try 0870 6000000 as another number, if no one can conform if the 01 works. Beware it's 10p a minute from a BT landline and they can queue you unlike the 09, which is 50p a minute. EDIT: Before trying the 0870 number, you could prefix the 01 with 141.
