 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I have just bought a new backpack (could be returned). It is about 5cms too long for the EZ under seat allowance although width and height are fine. Has anyone ever had a problem with under seat bag size at Luton/ Gatwick / Geneva? Thinking I might chance it.

I think you can live a little dangerously on that one!
I paid 18Eur to take overhead locker bag on easyJet, and they never checked.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks. I have to carry on a medical cool bag which is bulky but they won’t allow that in addition to a smaller bag with basic essentials and I’m too mean to pay the extra

Should be OK as long as it isn't full, i.e. can be 'squashed' to the required size.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@pat51, We travel Luton/Geneva around once a month and have never seen them check the size of an under seat bag or whether under seat bags are placed into overhead lockers when on the plane.

I have travelled quite a few times with a backpack which is slightly longer than the approved measurement. It can be jammed into the space and no one complained. (It is one with a frame so the length is defined; there would only have been a problem if the frame was parallel to the floor, but it fitted at a slight angle).

On an easyJet flight yesterday. No checking of anything as far as I could see (payment for large cabin bag, dimensions for small or large cabin bags) but could have been because it wasn’t full and late already. Might be a different story for a full flight.

Just been to Tenerife completely ignorant of their extra fee for 'large' cabin bags. First time I've travelled with a larger cabin bag instead of hold luggage, no chance it would fit in their 'small' category.
No problems on the way out, just boarded and stuck it overhead. On the way back the guy infront of me in while queueing to board got clocked for it and had to go pay. He and his wife both had a case on wheels, so it stands out a bit when he's stood in the non-priority queue. Don't know if he had to pay any extra than the normal fee.
Feel like if he didn't get caught I probably would have, mine is a backpack though so not as obvious.

Surprised at that - thought med equipment and Rx items were in addition to luggage allowance - mine certainly is, and to the best of my knowledge airlines don't have a choice

I'm sure this is correct. My sister-in-law has travelled many times via Easyjet and her medical bag has never been regarded as part of her cabin luggage allowance. She does need a a Doctor's certificate to prove it's essential medication. I'm sure there must be some disability legislation that covers UK airlines with regard to this.

Thanks. Yes, found that this year but last year I emailed them to check and they replied No but suspect it was a jobsworth who replied. Have relevant docs.
