    I am travelling with 2 other passegers with Easyjet on 18th June to Alicante, Spain and would love to try and review one of these jackets as we often fly with Easyjet.;):j
  • My wife and me are flying to Turkey on 2nd June with
    Thomas Cook. We would like to test out your offer and
    review & picture it for you. We got 15kg allowance and dont think
    it will be nearly enough. Catch ya:)
  • We're flying to Malaga from Bournemouth 5th July,
    returning 8th July with Ryanair.
    Love to test the jacket and report, with photos!
    2 adults, Hand baggage only.
  • Have travelled to over 30 European destinations with mostly Ryanair but also Bmi baby and easyjet. Never taken hold baggage. Flying jacket would be superb - until Michael O'Leary decides to tax the passengers carrying it ! Next flight Seville from EMA by Ryanair 18th June.

    Hi there - we regularly travel to Spain with budget airlines and usually take hand luggage only. We could pack our week's food in this jacket and would love to take part in the trial.

    We believe that passengers should be weighed with their luggage as we are slim jims and have to pay the same price as the nations roly poly club!

    Three of us are flying to Alicante with Ryanair on 4th June 2011 for 10 days - my 81 year old mother (with her fold away stick) has volunteered to wear the jacket (she is really skinny). Both she and the jacket will therefore probably get priority boarding! We will take lots of pictures as she sinks to her knees with the weight of a well packed jacket!

    Surely this will get us a free jacket?

    Hi, there will be 2 of us travelling by Ryanair from East Midlands to Alicante in mid June. Have always filled my pockets with heavy items so would be great to try a jacket that's perfect for this. I look forward to the possibility of reviewing it and sending photos.
  • Dear Whoever it may concern,

    I fly back to Gibraltar regularily with Easyjet from Liverpool or Monarch from Manchester to see my little girl at most every two months and only take a small hand luggage bag for the week or two that I am there. I retired from the RAF after 22 years last year and the use of this jacket would mean I could take over more teddy's, toys and presents for my little princess every trip.
    I would be willing to write a full report on comfort, style, tog warmth, usability and durability for you, giving my personal opinion plus the remarks I get from friends and family for wearing such an item.
    I hope to hear back from you at your convenience with an answer either way as to my suitability for inclusion in your jacket test.
    Yours Aye,
    Alan Marsh

    Hi, there's two of us flying with Ryan Air from East Mids in June to Palma.
    Already decided to just do hand luggage and having a slight panic as a friend went via East Mids last week and they were being very fussy over hand luggage.
    Would love to try a jacket and let you know how it goes.
  • travelling to Portugal Jun 11 for a week, two of us on the flight with Ryanair from Edinburgh.
