Title: Easyjet--Is extra bag of Duty Free still allowed ?
Post by: lucie on September 15, 2012, 10:54:24 AM
Can't find a reference to the extra bag of duty free   hand luggage allowance which used to be on the Easyjet website. Is it now strictly one piece of hand luggage with no extra bag ? Had no problem with extra bag in June.

On EJ you are allowed 1 piece of hand luggage + 1 bag of duty free stuff purchased at the airport.

Thank-you Bewva but still cannot find that allowance written  on their website today. It definitely was in black and white in the past !

When we flew out  with EJ in May from Manchester we were told when we got to the gate that everything, including duty free, had to be inside one bag only.  Hence much scrabbling about and stuffing things into bags between us!  Whether this changes with different airports I don't know, don't think we risked it at Dalaman coming home.

This link shows it;

No weight restriction applies however you must be able to place and retrieve the item of baggage safely in the overhead lockers without assistance. Small items must be placed underneath the seat in front

An overcoat, shawl, umbrella, crutches or walking frame/stick and one standardised bag of goods purchased at the departure airport may also be carried in addition to the one item allowance.

Thanks everyone,especially Bewva.  Have now printed the info to show at Manchester if necessary. Relieved! My OH can take his whisky now,as usual. No idea why I missed those few words several times when I read Easyjet website.

I am pretty sure Lucie it is on the booking iternaity (spelling!) on the confirmation email you receive after booking, I booked some flights with them recently and I am sure it is amongst the small print somewhere, I piece hand luggage and 1 bag of duty free purchased at airport.
Have a lovely time  :)

Beware with Easyjet, that if you don't get asked to put your hand luggage into the 'size gauge' on check-in, you may get asked on boarding. I did last month and my wheelie was about 2 cm too thick (which was my i pad in the front pocket) I was able to take it out quickly and put it my duty free bag. I did wonder though what would have happened if I didn't have a duty free bag, as the check in guy looked keen to charge me!

Makes me annoyed as when we flew to the UK, I saw several people check in with huge rucksacks as hand luggage and no-one said a word. Of course Easyjet use a local handler at Dalaman, so they didn't seem to bother. Just annoying when some people get charged and others don't!

We missed it on the Monarch wording as well but noticed it was just as cheap on the plane anyway  :)

we flew out from Gatwick end of August, the duty free shop sells hessian shopping bags for your duty free, but we managed to stuff it with all kinds of odds and ends with no problem, no one asks to look in it.
