Do easyjet ever run out of space for suitcases

Options
Hi. I booked an easyjet flight for a peak time. I didn't yet buy a suitcase, because I don't want it to come off my credit card any earlier than neccesary... 2 questions:

1. Does the price for suitcases go up (like the ticket price)

2. Do they ever run out of space for suitcases if I wait too near the flight? (Its peak time, the flight gets overbooked).

    Do you mean the price to purchase a new suitcase? Who knows,try Debenhams and whatch the prices,might have a sale.

    Th e aircraft always has room in the hold for all the luggage carried by its customers
  • Yes the price of suitcases goes up.....booked flights first thing on Thursday morning suitcase was £48 its now £60

    Do you mean you want to add luggage in the hold with your booking or buy a physical suit case? The luggage hold price stays the same, and I've never seen an airplane refuse luggage as it's full.

    The Easyjet flight we are booked on for a week on Monday gives us an allowance of one piece of carry-on luggage each, which can be stowed in the overhead lockers or (as per a previous occasion) fitted under the seat in front of you. However we are informed that there is a limited amount of overhead capacity, and any surplus bags will have to be put in the hold, presumably at the going rate which is £29 per item for our flight.

    Not sure if this answers your question, please clarify what you actually want to know.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    No, not obviously as the first posters mentioned.

    Your question wasn't very clear, but yes, adding luggage at a later date nearer the day will see an increase in cost, even more so if you do it on the day at the airport.

    I have been on an easyjet flight (last year to Bodrum) were they had to take luggage off due to a balance (but not space) issue.

    It's not that obvious though. If you want clear replies so you don't have to post snippy comments to the very people trying to help you, perhaps make your query clear with no room for ambiguity.

    The people replying are volunteering their time to help YOU, so you have no right to nip at people because your opening post wasn't clear.
