Stopped flying Easyjet long ago after being forced to stuff a handbag into another hand luggage. I only fly British Airways, it is worth paying a bit more just to go through the journey without hassles. I just hate the budget airlines being very tight fisted about every thing.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

Originally posted by Paralytic View PostI suspect it won't stop delays. The cabin crew will have to go through the lockers before take off and remove those bags that are supposed to be under seats.

My rule of thumb is under 2.30 hours - cheapest possible. 2.30 - 5 hours Business. 5 hours plus First.
I have had no desire to fly BA since Alex Cruise joined & turned it into Click Air and only use it to US/Caribbean in preference to US carriers. Even before Alex rocked up from Vueling BA was leagues behind. Easyjet is a better Y proposition than BA short haul & long haul the Asian & ME carriers.
The hand baggage charge is perfectly acceptable (and it is actually Wizz' s model not Ryanair). It is still going to cost you more to travel to the airport 90% of the time.
The only reason to fly BA is if clientco is paying & you believe Avios have some worth. Even the Concorde lounge is shabby. Compared to the Thai Royal First lounge in BKK as a flagship lounge for a flag carrying airline it is a joke.
In fact the C product on any carrier within Europe.Last edited by clearedforlanding; 3 December 2020, 14:17.Comment

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI'm glad they're doing this. Yes, they're doing it for money - but more likely it's the cost of delays rather than try to gouge more out of customers.
Only if they pass the test should they be allowed to use an overhead locker.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Originally posted by eek View PostI actually think what easyjet need isn't to charge more - passengers should be made to pass a test during which they need to deposit and retrieve their overhead luggage without delaying other people boarding / leaving the plane.
