    their luggage allowance is still 5kg over that of ryanair, so it's worth bearing in mind if you're comparing similar flights between the two airlines.

    you're trying to ruin my cunning plans LOL ....how about the 20 people on a stag or hen do all arriving and offering to pay with £50 notes ....haha tomorrow i take over the world !!!

    Ha Ha, you will need to fight me for it. I will not relinquish my control that easy
  • I travel with easyJet all the time. Mainly because they're the most convenient airline for me. Their airfares have doubled in the past 12 months (used to be £25rtn, now about £48). And now they've extra charges too...

    To be fair, between £10 and £20 depending on routes of that is extra tax. Not really their fault

    £5 in 5p is the largest amount you can use in a single transaction (if the amount was £5.05, and you tried to pay in 5p pieces, then they could refuse it by law!). I wonder if the price will go up just to avoid this?!

    A common misconception, legal tender is (unsurprisingly) a legal term relevant only to settling debts. Paying for goods and services (in advance ie not a debt) it's irrelevant - you do not HAVE to accept legal tender

    i don't think that scenario works in the context of a purchase of an extra on a flight.
    you offer to pay and they refuse ...who ends up the bad guys? especially if they turn you away from the flight

    I have been watching a flight end of November and despite this the price with the baggage charge has remained the same. 44.98 for the past 4 weeks , 44.98 today including 1 bag charge !

    At least they're flying on the route you want. They have discontinued our regularly used route for the winter...b.....ds
  • A couple of weeks ago, I booked flights to Rome next February. When I log into my booking, it tells me that we can take 2 items of hold baggage between the 2 of us and that if we want to take more bags, we can add them to the booking for the relevant fee. It would appear that if you booked a flight departing after 1 October before the new rules came in today, you're ok.

    I presume you are flying to Warsaw and not Walsall on 6 October, by the way :wink:

    Bags prepaid on line for a flight to Krakow in December were charged at £4 per bag although the website states prepaid bags are £2 per bag. Has the price increased??
