    Hi!

    Going to Greece to see my o/h's Dad. Flying to Athens in 2nd week of June using Easyjet. Would be great as we've only checked in 1 suitcase and we're planning on taking my o/h's Dad lots of UK goodies as a surprise for his 70th!

    Happy to take some photos of loading it up and then both of us wearing it at the airports and happy to write a review.

    I'm travelling in July / August (4 of us - 2 adults, 2 children) to America with Lufthansa and then within the US with United. Not no-frills, but United charge per checked bag now and it would be interesting to see how this goes through American security and checkin :)

    Hi

    I'm travelling in the early part of June from London to Malaga, then from Malaga to Dublin with Aer Lingus, and then from Dublin to London with Ryan Air.

    So I will be taking three flights with two different airlines all as part of the same trip spread over 8 days, so will make good use of the jacket!!

    Many thanks

  • I would love to trial one of these jackets as we travel to Italy on a regular basis and are always caught out by Ryanair. We are due to travel to Italy again beginning of August. I am happy to take photos and post a review. Two of us will be flying
  • Hi ,
    I'd like to apply to be a "Guinea Pig" in the flight jacket trial . I am travelling in a party of over 50 to Benidorm on 10 June 2011 - We went around the same time last year and unfortunately I was pinged with a £35 excess charge , Not because my case was overweight but because it was over-sized (it was OK on the way out !!) I have an expandable case and the zip returning it to normal size wasn't done up fully resulting in a slight "jostle" to remove it from the sizing rack - This resulted in me being penalised (with no appeal or being allowed to do the zip up fully to bring the case into the tolerance). As You can imagine this resulted in a fair amount of embarrassment in front of my peers and also the other passengers who were put in the picture by said peers !!
    I'm a big Guy - 6ft 1 , 50" chest , am definitely up for the challenge and would very much enjoy revenge for last Years humiliation .
    Cheers

    I am flying to Ireland in June and July with Ryanair and would be happy to write a report / take photo.
  • I will be travelling to France with Jet2 at the beginning of July.

    There will be 2 adults and 1 child (15 years old) on the trip, and we are willing to test the jacket, and provide a review with photos.

    Thanks
