This is what the OP wants to do and exactly what the OP's question is about. The element of ambiguity and uncertainty is whether this is possible. .
Yes, it's possible
Is it a certainty? possibly

Seriously, if you constrain the aircrew with too many hard and fast rules, they'll all end up like Ryanair
And we all know how calm and peaceful it is at their gates.Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.0 -
The element of ambiguity and uncertainty is whether this is possible. If you're merely going to restate that uncertainty (of which we are already aware) without adding any new information, then it's not very helpful.
Well, thanks for your helpful reply, I'm sure the OP appreciates your repeat of the your earlier answer.
The answer remains: it is uncertain, there is no rule and there probably will not be any rule due to all the reasons previously given.
So, rather than you repeating yourself about how unhelpful everyone is, how about just accepting that for some things in life you can't sue for breach of a rule, you just have to follow the rules that exist, and rely on the good nature, practicality and kindliness of other human beings if you want to go outside the guaranteed rules, but still think you're owed a guarantee!1. Have you tried to Google the answer?

No, it is not a good thing, because it creates uncertainty for passengers. It is unreasonable to deny a woman from taking a small handbag into the cabin when others are allowed to take a 50x40x20cm case into the cabin. The fact that the affected passenger also has a 56x45x25cm case in the hold ought to be immaterial to the right to take a small handbag into the cabin.
No, you're being unreasonable and sexist -why should gender matter?
The rules are: you are guaranteed that the 50x40x20 bag will go in the cabin.
There is 100% no uncertainty in that rule and guarantee!
If you want to put a bag in the hold, you can pay for it.
If you want to take a bag that is 56x45x25 into the cabin it MAY or MAY NOT be accepted in the cabin depending on space.
The fact that the passenger CHOSE to bring a larger than guaranteed bag is the passenger's choice, not the airline's. The airline has to decide how best to stow that bag safely.
If you're saying that they should be allowed to take a second bag for the cabin, then they need to book the first one in the hold, and pay the fee.
Are you a lawyer, cause you seem to be squriming like one, trying to find rules to sue against!1. Have you tried to Google the answer?

I've already explained this in post 6; clearly you have not read the entire thread. Given that it is usual for women to carry in a small handbag the items that men typically carry in their pockets, it would be discriminatory to allow men to take those items into the cabin but deny the same to women.No, you're being unreasonable and sexist -why should gender matter?
As I've told you already, that is not the subject of this thread and it is clear that we all already know this, in particular the OP. Please stay on topic.The rules are: you are guaranteed that the 50x40x20 bag will go in the cabin.
There is 100% no uncertainty in that rule and guarantee!0 -
That's not a helpful post at all. Clearly the OP wants to know precisely what the rules are because there is currently ambiguity and uncertainty. Please read the thread properly before posting such an unhelpful response.
I fully endorse what you say he has made his point which he is entitled to do but to keep going on about it is out or order, and unless he has something constructive to say he should leve the matter be.To reply to each thread in that way is out of order.
We flew back by EasyJat from Malaga and the staff took our larger cabin baggage from us. They said no hand luggage at all would be allowed including hanbags, but if we wore our coats onto the aircraft, and not carry them, then we could what put what we wanted in the pockets ,as long as they fitted and did not fallout. They admitted they had received no definitive instructions from EasyJet head office on this subject.0 -

Sorry, the argument about pockets vs handbags is irrelevant. Any gender can buy clothes with pockets in them, it is not up to an airline to say that because you are a woman you have a right to a bag, but a man has no right because he chooses to buy practical clothes.
Well, I shall walk away from this thread since it appears that taking about 25 flights with Easyjet so far this year is not relevant to the discussion.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?

There you go then, there is no hard and fast rule of what happens when a pax doesn't conform to another rule - which is hard and fast.
It would be very messy to make such a rule, they'd then have to start defining what could and couldn't be taken into the cabin, start issuing sizes etc. and causing a whole load of other - delay inducing - issues.
So the rule is, if you break the first rule, they'll make an 'on the spot' decision of what they're going to do about it.
Best just to not break the first rule if it's likely to cause anxietyChange is inevitable, except from a vending machine.0 -
It is not so much what each gender can do, but how it is customary for each gender to dress. A woman's handbag is a customary substitute for pockets. Therefore with regard to small items that passengers may carry on board (e.g. keys, wallet/purse, mobile phone etc), it could be unlawful to discriminate against women in relation to men.Sorry, the argument about pockets vs handbags is irrelevant. Any gender can buy clothes with pockets in them, it is not up to an airline to say that because you are a woman you have a right to a bag, but a man has no right because he chooses to buy practical clothes.0 -
It's quite common these days for men to have 'man-bags' tooChange is inevitable, except from a vending machine.0

That's probably discrimination again. I mean, if men are allowed pockets and manbags, then women should be allowed 2 handbags, if you follow some of the logic given above.
