Hold baggage with Easyjet
« on: May 01, 2016, 11:28:43 AM »
Does anybody  know if you are allowed to take a large package / box 100cm x 52cm x 20 cm weighing less than 20kg as your hold baggage allowance with Easyjet?

I have in the past put a similar sized (under 20kg) object in the hold no problem, I just checked in and went to the over-sized baggage area.  When we got to Dalaman it was not on the carousel, but on the side with buggies and other oversized boxes.  Although with airlines changing the rules on a regular basis, it will be worth checking.

EasyJet web site is your friend...

"Each item you check-in as hold luggage has to be under a certain size and weight. Its total size has to be under 275cm (to find this out simply add its length + width + height) and a standard weight of 20kg per bag, except for sporting and medical equipment."

Thanks guys. I did look at the Easyjet website but was unsure as it states the measurements ok but it also says that it had to be a "suitable container". I don't know whether a cardboard  box qualifies as "suitable container"!!!

We flew out with Easyjet last week and yes it's fully automated and very slick.
The whole flight from start to finish was really good better than some of the More expensive airlines I've flown with

They were all automated and short queues of only a couple of people. I was 2.5 kg over and it said I could pay an extra £20.
So I piled all my goodies from the outer zip part of my case into my hand luggage until it allowed it with no extra charge at 20.5 kg.
It prints off your label and you put this on your case.
Feeling very pleased with myself I picked up my cabin case but hadnt zipped it up and felt a right idiot when 80 double choca mocha sachets fell out.
Nightmare.
But otherwise very simple and quick.

The same experience for me, no queues and it will allow you to combine weight for all on one booking in other words two cases one at 25 and the other at 15kg won't cause a charge. Although I remember thinking I would always be inclined to put the lightest through first because then you know what the second is expected to be and enable you to remove items if you want. At least with easyjet there's no restriction with weight in hand luggage.
