the website says 1 piece but last time we flew with them people where going on with cabin bags plus hand bag it depends on the staff on the day and if you get a jobsbody so to speak
I would say cabin bag plus rucksack is pushing it
You can add on hold luggage after booking with easyjet may be worth it for trip home

Thanks @tonsky, I could do without my pack as its only a short trip but don't really want to get between a lady and her handbag
And as we are flying back into Luton, wanted to try to avoid waiting for luggage at that end as well.

Buy something in duty free and stuff the extra bits into that bag, it's what I do and has always worked.

Don't know about the handbag as don't carry one, but EasyJet tend to be okay with what you carry. Have packed a bag pretty heavily before and they've been fine. Suspect you won't have a problem, and if you do then just take some clothes out the suitcase and put the handbag in the space created.

I recently travelled to and from Marrakech with easyjet. I had maximum allowed size trolley case, easyjet are good as there is no weight restriction but remember you have to be able to lift it into the over head bin. I had a smallish hand bag but saw others with bigger bags but I wouldn't chance an extra rucksack. I think it would be up to the airport staff, sometimes they want to get flight boarded quickly so don't really check but the next one might make everyone put their bag into the gauge and are a right jobs worth. But a duty free bag is allowed as well.

I fly with easyJet every week and have first-hand experience of their cabin baggage allowances. The bag I used for years is now redundant as it is a wheel-width too big for their sizers. I was caught out one day and had to pay £50 to check it in. I know have a new trolley bag that is exactly the size they permit.
I'd say they are strict with their policy and the pre-board announcement at the gate (scripted as it is always the same) does say that they have a strictly one piece of cabin baggage policy and this includes laptop bags and ladies handbags. I've see then force women to stuff their handbag in their main bag. However, I have seen them turn a blind eye iif the flight is quiet.
You can take a chance but if they catch you out you don't have a leg to stand on and would have to cough-up £50 to have one bag put in the hold. Given that a hold bag is only £12 you may be better paying that and being able to carry your rucksack and your wife her handbag.

Have managed a 3 night trip with boots and helmet all in easyjet acceptable single hand baggage. On occasion I have had a small handbag, which in theory I can squeeze into the handbaggage, but I have slid through the departure desk without being required to put the handbag inside the other bag. Usually I just stick my bank cards in a small purse, put that and paperwork into ski jacket pockets and dispense with handbag.
I doubt you would get away with the 16l backpack though. For 3 days all you really need are the clothes you stand up in to travel and wear in evenings, one set of thermals, ski wear, helmet, goggles, undies and socks (stuff into boots), and a couple of t shirts. Share toiletries with OH.

how hot are they on the measurements of the cabin luggage ?
the site says 50x40x20 cm,
56x45x25 if the plane is not full, do they really stick to the 50x40x20 ?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I got asked at the gate to put my handbag in my wheeled carry on case on the way out from Manchester to Berlin last year, but got it out again before I got on the plane - no way was I trying to get purse, Kindle, iPod and so on out of that on the plane! On the way home, loads of people with separate handbags, so I didn't bother, nobody batted an eyelid! Defo depends on the gate crew.

You know it makes sense.

Take the biggest bag you are permitted, that way the cabin crew will not tell you to put in the space where your feet are meant to go and if you are lucky they will put it in the hold for you at no extra charge. BTW I always wear a pair of trousers or jacket with a pocket big enough to take a kindle.
