Help please guys!

Mrs is flying with Easyjet tomorrow morning and is only taking hand luggage. She has one bag packed and was under the impression she could take a smaller bag as well, however has just checked on the Easyjet website and it says that you can only take a 2nd piece of hand luggage if you're an Easyjet Flex, plus or upfront customer.

Can anyone confirm this? She does not fall under any of those groups listed above.
 
What is there to confirm? If that's what it says on their website.

I've never known Easyjet to let you take 2 bags as standard.
 
Depends on how strict they're feeling - my girlfriend got away with a small handbag alongside her hand luggage case on our recent jaunt abroad with Easyjet, but many other people were running into problems.

Could always take a jacket with many pockets, or a Roofus Roo...
 
They made a scene about my wife wanting to take two bags last time we flew, had to rearrange everything.

I despise Easyjet though. Short of an emergency flight (last time was a death in the family) I will avoid them as much as possible. Their customer service makes me want to claw my eyeballs out.
 
Thanks guys, I've got her to put everything into one bag.

Interestingly Air Lingus were fine about it when I flew back from Dublin a few weeks ago, one of the better cheap operators.

I'm not surprised with the amount of idiots they have to deal with, have you watched Airline?... makes me want to commit atrocities.
 
I've found Easyjet very enjoyable to fly with. Their new planes when I flew to Iceland in March were very comfortable.
Hardly budget though, I'm going to have to fork out nearly £400 for return flights to Malaga in two weeks for a wedding. x_x

I've seen people combine their carry-on and handbag/manbag at the gate to get through boarding and then immediately take it out again once they are on the plane.

It is a very strange rule, I can understand that they want to maximise the room in the overhead lockers so passengers take up similar space but they could do with a British Airways system where they have to tag your bag that would go under the seat. All added costs I suppose.
 
Urgh, easyjet...everytime I fly with them I promise myself I'll never do it again. It's not actually the airline itself, it's the other people....

Anyway, I believe you get 2 with Easyjet "plus" or whatever they call it, which is an annual subscription for about £180 (lol). Without you only get one smaller bag - this is MUCH smaller than the standard carryon bag for other airlines. So if you've got a carryon size case that you use normally, there's a chance it wont fit - mine didnt last time I went and had to fork out £30 to put it in the hold.

However, I dont know how they enforce it - I checked the size myself and asked to check it in, but at the gate there were plenty people with bigger bags than that and the staff didnt seem bothered... I can't believe they were checking to see if each person boarding had a "plus" membership and looking at the size of their bag. However if they do notice, the cost to check it in will be higher.
 
Whenever I fly to Europe I use sky scanner and if easy jet comes up, after I add on things like extra bags, it's very small difference to BA...always ended up on BA because of that.

Plus you get free alcohol in flight! (Not that I drink) not to mention BA's hand luggage limit is silly at 23kg.

Nothing wrong with bringing it up. OP now knows Ryan Air offers 2.

Lots of airlines offer more than 1 piece of baggage. It's not really relevant when the flight has already been booked.

Website says 1 piece for easyjet. They can't make it clearer than that. Passengers who push their luck delay and make the flight worse for everyone else.

I flew to Ghana with BA earlier this year and it was ridiculous what people were trying to carry on at the gate. Ended up being delayed leaving both here and back from Ghana.
