Flybe Cabin Luggage

I fly regularly with Flybe on the LBA>BHD (lateset flight, this morning) which is usually full.
They use a Dash 800 aircraft which has small lockers.

saying that, I've never seen them check or question any baggage going on board and are often helping people shove cases, that won't fit in the lockers, under the seats.
You'll be absolutely fine with your Easyjet sized bag

Well they just stung me £15 for being 1 kg overweight on my hold luggage.
The scales at Leeds had it under 23kg, the ones here in Belfast had it at 24 ??

All with a healthy dose of borderline rudeness from the Swissport employee, at least the Flybe staff are always nice

Ouch!

My case should be much less than 10kg especially if I use the one without wheels. I'm only going for two nights.

Another question for you please. Roughly how long does it take from landing to leaving the terminal at Leeds? I'm getting a taxi from the airport but may be late for the evening session. Thanks.

Did you ask when Belfast last had their scales calibrated ?

This is news – they reweigh your luggage at the destination?! Where does that happen?

You'll be outside the front door of the terminal within 5 minutes of walking down the aircraft stairs, with no hold luggage to collect.

No, couldn't be bothered, (I don't have to pay) they would have made it up anyway
I always book my tool case on at 23kg with Flybe as it usually weighs 22-22.5
Not today at Belfast though

They do it when you're booking in for your return flight

Oh no you won't...........
Not if your aircraft parks at the furthest end of the airport & there are two or three flights in before yours.
You could be 45 minutes before you exit the terminal.
5 minutes never........

I've never once got off a domestic flight at Leeds that didn't stop at that end of the airport. I guess I do that 3 or 4 times a month
Plenty of international ones take ages but not a domestic as there's no other way to domestic arrivals other than through the one door - that I know of anyway.
