Advice for travelling Easy Jet, have oversize carry on.
I was first on and put our luggage in the overhead locker. We had baggage in
the hold so the carry on was 2/3rds the allowable size.
As the last boarded and most had oversized baggage, ours was removed and we
had to have it under our feet while the over size owners
had their foot space clear.

I was not overjoyed having limited legroom for 3 hours.

There is really nothing one can do once they have allowed the passenger to
board with oversize. Not following aircrew instructions can have you denied
travel. Monarch Airways operated the return
trip on behalf of Easy Jet and they insisted on putting the luggage that
could not be put in the overhead lockers in the hold.

I've been on low-cost flights recently where they have vigorously
*dis*couraged luggage under seats (despite me being happy to have it
there) and tried to get it all in overheads.

The only safe policy is to have hand luggage that fits (all the various
bits and bobs) into a single allowable footprint, and there will almost
always be room for that in the overheads.

This carry on rules are rather annoying. At least a third of passengers
have carry-on clearly bigger than the allowance.
With the changes of rules I do not have luggage that properly matches
allowed sizes and buying new to meet rules which
may or may not be enforced jars a bit.

To be fair to Easyjet my hold baggage was 3 Kgs over weight and they did
not surcharge.
