Hand Luggage on easy Jet

xxdiddiexx

Quick question...instead of chucking my 20kg worth of luggage into the hold, can I take it on board the aircraft? I am flying to Germany from Luton with EJ.

The last time I flew to Germany (2 months ago) I went with BA. I checked my luggage in, and there were signs all over the place talking about the maximum size of baggage allowed - which mine did not fit.

However sitting in the lounge waiting to board I saw people getting on the plane with luggae the same size as mine that I had to check in.

I don't get it

NO, 20KG of hand luggage is far too heavy and a safety issue for other pax. Though easyjet doesn't state a max weight for hand luggage it does expect pax to be reasonable in what they take on board, and 20KG is far from reasonable . The dimensions of your ONE piece of hand luggage should not be more than 55x40x20cm.

The others may have appeared to have similar size bags, but the weights may have varied considerably. Having said the above what you carry on board is basically down to whether the check-in/security/cabin crew notice or not.

20cm is quite small, so be careful if they try to enforce their regulations.

easyjets policy on hand luggage is as follows

save where the limits set locally are more restrictive, passengers are permitted one standard piece of hand baggage to a volume limit of 55x40x20cm; no weight restriction applies within reasonable limits — i.e. a passenger must be able to place the piece of luggage safely in the overhead storage bins without assistance.

the caveat being if you can lift the weight it's on !!!!!

within reasonable limits

I would not say that 20kg is reasonable, and I certainly wouldn't like it if it fell on me! x

this is our second holiday abroad coming up and we're flying with e,jet i'm a bit confused regarding hold luggage last year my kids used two small cases each with a combined weight of 20kg each, are they still allowed to do this or do they have to have only one hold luggage with a maximum weight of 20kg
and also do we no have to pay for each hold bag
as i'm new to the holidaying abroad lark:o i'm a bit confused

1 case per person max 20kg ...you now have to pay for a case in the hold . you will also pay more if you take 2 bags per person still with a combined total weight of 20kg

With easy jet you do not pay for the 1st case per person in the hold , only if it is over 20kg's or if you want a 2nd case per person in hold

They changed the rules a couple of months ago - you now pay for ALL checked bags but they've reduced the cost of doing so - from £5 to £2, so if you normally check 2 or more bags you end up paying less

Excess baggage is charged separately on the total weight of all of your bags less your 20kg per PASSENGER allowance.

It is only in the past week that easyjet have started to charge for hold baggage. I booked flights with them last week and was not charged for hold baggage. Then yesterday I decided to check the price of the flight to see how much it would be now and it was going to cost me to check in hold baggage.

so if i now have to pay for hold luggage it says £2 online £5 at checkin how do i save myself some money and do it online instead of checking, i booked through a travel agent so not really sure how to pay via online


also does this also mean i have to pay on the return trip also
