Easyjet to reduce cabin baggage size wef 2nd July

Neil49

I don't know whether this has been posted already but just to advise that it has been announced that Easyjet are reducing the size of cabin baggage cases down to 50cm x 40cm x 20cm (to include handles, wheels etc) with effect from 2nd July.

This is due to the fact that they are finding it increasingly difficult to accomodate everyones hand baggage within the aircraft.

There will still be no weight limit imposed.

Yes, it has been posted before, but hidden away here in a thread about Ryanair.

It took the Daily Mail (for that is what whatismoney is) three attempts to get the story right.

As others have said, this is not the case (no pun intended)

From the page richardw linked to:
From 2 July 2013 easyJet is introducing a cabin bag guarantee. This means that for passengers who bring a bag no bigger than 50x40x20cm ( including handles and wheels) we will guarantee it can travel in the cabin - either in the overhead locker or under the seat in front of them.
The bag guarantee is a way for passengers to gain peace of mind that their bag will travel with them onboard the flight.
and
easyJet does not charge passengers for bringing a cabin bag onboard and there is no weight limit on cabin baggage.
There is no change to our bag policy which means customers can still bring a slightly bigger bag up to the maximum IATA size of 56 x 45 x 25cm including handles and wheels, but on some of our busier flights their bag may have to go into the hold.

56x45x25 will still be allowed and no weight limit within reason,BUT maybe put in the hold at no extra charge (they decide)
