Size matters and they say that you must be able to get it in the overhead locker unaided. I am only taking hand luggage this time although we have booked hold luggage.

Just received this from Easyjet;
Hand Baggage

From April 5th we have updated our pricing policy for hold luggage and for oversized cabin baggage that needs to be checked into the hold.

The following charges apply:
At the airport check-in desk: If you purchase a bag to be checked into the hold and/or we notice that your cabin bag exceeds the maximum allowed dimensions, you will be charged £25 per bag
At the boarding gate: If you go directly to the boarding gate and your one permitted item of cabin baggage exceeds the maximum allowed dimensions you will be charged £40 and your bag will be checked into the hold
Remember: easyJet allows one item of hand baggage into the cabin per person; maximum dimensions are 56 x 45 x 25 cm.

To keep our fares low, be able to board the plane as quickly as possible and ensure your comfort onboard, if you bring more than one piece of hand baggage we'll check the extra piece into the hold. Hand bags, briefcases, laptops and laptop bags are all counted as one piece, so if you have a trolley and, for example, an additional hand bag or laptop bag you'll be asked to put those items into your trolley bag. If you can't consolidate your cabin baggage into one single item, one of your bags will be checked into the hold and we will have to charge you £40. We do this to ensure that we don't delay the boarding process and bring everyone to their destination on time.

Just to confuse things even further this is part of an email I received yesterday with totally different hand baggage sizes..

Hand baggage
We allow 1 item of hand baggage per person, including handbags & laptop bags. It must be less than 55 x 40 x 20cm. Extra / oversized bags will be put into the hold & a fee charged. The lockers fill up fast, so please be at the gate early to ensure there's space. If they're full we place larger bags in the hold, so recommend you use a small, light bag. Once onboard, please help us keep on time by putting only big bags overhead & small bags, laptops & duty free under the seat in front

I have emailed them as I had gone and bought the size case it says on (and still does)the web site asking if they'll refund the purchase costs...lol
Will let you know what they say...

As I mentioned in a different topic - the airlines caused all this by making extra charges for checked in baggage - all the recent flights I've been on have shown that people are doing whatever they can to make do with cabin baggage (including us!) to avoid these charges. The results are quite simply that there are way more cases than in years gone by needing to fit in the overhead lockers and there is a big delay in people getting that done and getting out of the way so others can do the same and sit down.

What do they do when there is physically too much baggage brought onto the plane? Take the ones that have nowhere to go and send them down the steps to be put in the hold, no charge of course. It's a shambles that delays boarding immensely and one thing is for certain, we the passengers didn't cause it.
