Thanks, didnt want to have the bigger size case and get charged extra.

You won't get charged extra for the bigger size even if they ask you to check it.

There never was such a guarantee.

Perhaps you can elaborate on what is meant by a hand luggage allowance. When you buy a ticket and the hand luggage allowance is part of that contract, that seems a guarantee to me.

Are you suggesting that there was always a clause in EasyJet's conditions of carriage, which could release them from allowing you from taking your normal hand luggage allowance on board?

I'd be happy for you to outline said conditions.

Airlines have always been able to insist on sticking hand luggage in the cargo hold if it's not safe (no space) in the cabin.

My take on this cabin luggage guarantee is this:
Nothing's changed at all but if you take on a bag that fits under the seat in front of you, it will never be loaded into the hold. And that includes if you're in a front or over-wing emergency exit row (someone else will have their luggage removed instead of you).

In real experience, I've seen no change on the flights I've done since the change.

If there's no more room on board what do you want them to do? Gate checking handluggage due to space constraints in full flights is standard practice on every airline.

Just wanted to be sure.

Erm....no. If it is not within the conditions of carriage, they are stuck. They can ask for volunteers.

Again, it is entirely voluntary, unless it is outlined within the conditions of carriage.

EasyJet have modified theirs recently.

It would be nice to see people posting relevant regulations instead of just opinions.

After all, people need the correct information.

Nope and nope.

As a passenger on a craft you have to comply with the Captain's requests.

So if the overhead lockers are full and you refuse to allow your bag to go in the hold and don't comply with the cabin crew requests, backed up by the Captain, you'll be offloaded.
Nothing to do with being voluntary, nor the conditions of carriage.

I know this is nonsense...as we had this situation at Malaga just a few weeks ago. We said no and they moved on to someone else.

I prefer to stick to the contractual agreements. If the airline doesn't stick to them, they are at risk of breach of contract.....
If you don't stick to them, you risk sanctions.

The rest is just hot air. When you buy a ticket, you are subject to a contractual agreement. So it should be easy for you to find the excerpt that confirms your side of the argument.

I refer you to your signature. Post the contractual terms that confirm your argument or cease and desist.
