Interesting Easyjet Hold Baggage Info

[Scunner]

Understanding Easyjet's charges for hold baggage is complex at the best of times but here is one interesting fact that may help couples. 2 people travelling together can add a suitcase each up to 20kg for £36 total (2 x £18 based on a return journey).

but

One couple checking in just one bag are allowed up to 32kg for that bag and the price is then 1 x £18. Again based on a return journey So you only lose 8Kg overall between you but the cost is halved. Could be useful info for couples travelling who need to check some luggage in.

Cue all the "blimey didn't you know that" replies from people who didn't know that:D

Could save someone enough to get 2x 1 Litre of Smirnoff at Duty Free

I've overspent on hold luggage with Easyjet so often in the past. 6 of us are travelling on Friday and I've booked 3 bags. Originally thought that gave us 60kg but infact it is 96kg! 3 bags at the maximum of 32kg. Apparantly each passedger is entitled to 20KG each - BUT you have to pay per bag to put that allowance in the hold (max 32kg per bag) . Taken with easyjets no weight limit on hand luggage it makes it a good offering.

That's right, 32kg between each combined set of 2 passengers. Mind you, I wouldn't fancy my chances much with a 31Kg bag checking in at Dalaman, pointing at my confirmation sheet []

I have just booked 3 flights for the 2 of us next year with just one bag (20kgs) on each flight.

I read the same 32kgs reference when booking the luggage but concluded the 20 kgs was what I was paying for and that the extra 12 kgs was available (if paid for) - although it does not say that.

I thought the 32 kgs was referred to as this is the maximum weight allowed for lifting / health & safety reasons for any case on most - if not all airlines.

If it is a "free" 12 kgs I would like to know for sure

On our recent trip, T.C wanted a huge £35 per 20kg case. No way was I spending £70 for 2 cases. You couldn't imagine how little I took on holiday so that we only checked in 1 case. And I still came home with 1 top and 1 pr trousers I didn't wear!! 32kg would have meant I just took more shoes LOL

I just told you for sure

Yes it is because the maximum weight you can check in is 32Kg that the combined weight of two people's allowances (in ONE bag) is not 40kg, but 32Kg.

I'll let you know for sure after Friday . The email confirmation clearly states 6 passengers,3 bags with a combined weight of 96KG. When 2 of us went to Istanbul in March I booked one bag and the confirmation said 'combined weight of 32KG. I thought it was a mis print and struggled to keep the bag down to 20KG but now I understand how it works we could have taken 32KG

I mustn't weigh more than 32 kgs because of Elfin Safety.
