I have just received a checklist from Easyjet for my soon flight. It gives
smaller dimensions than the web site.

Can anyone confirm that they have travelled with 'one standard piece of hand
baggage to maximum dimensions of 56x45x25cm'
rather than the smaller size in the checklist, 'not exceeding the maximum
dimensions of 55 x 40 x 20cm. '



Please don't just refer to the Easyjet web site since it is Easy Jet
documentation that is inconsistent.

What you really need is someone to measure one of those wire frames they
have. That's the only criteria they use in practice.

Unfortunately not enough time and in any case these vary. A colleague
recently with a different airline got charged extra going out because his
bag jammed solidly going out and slipped in easy coming back. He did get
his money back.

They have changed to the IATA size (they call it that) of 56x45x25 and
have replaced all the cages for that purpose, though I haven't
measured them and my usual hand luggage bag isn't that big. I would
say the checklist was wrong.

I think one reason for the change (other than to make them more
competitive as a business airline) is that the overhead bins in the
Airbuses appear noticeably larger than the Boeings and can fit the
larger size more easily.

I've just booked an Easyjet flight for February, and the Boarding Pass
says:
"Hand Baggage Policy Each passenger is allowed one piece of hand
baggage only, including any hand bags and laptop cases. All hand
baggage must be within the maximum dimensions of 56 x 45 x
25cm."

ps. They wanted �8 credit card fee for a one-leg trip!!
