Speedy boarding has no benefit alighting from the Plane, my experience of luggage shows that it is pot luck how quickly it comes through, we have two identical pieces of luggage and very rarely do they come through together, having checked our luggage in the night before one would imagine that they would be among the last unloaded but this has not been the case and I think that shape could play a part.

Thank you. You have both just confirmed what I thought.

I'm going to ditch the SB idea.

Now onto if I will 'need' extra luggage. It's not the weight allowance I need, it's the thought of lifting 32kg off the conveyor (SP?). All my towels, creams, day to day stuff is there. I'll need to carry a 5 year old's clothes and mine... Mmm... Could do with some weight lifting sessions at the gym I think...

I have just spoken to Easyjet and they confirm that any booking made (prior to Oct 2010 - didn't ask what date in October, sorry) that stated you can have 32kgs ie a booking of 2 passengers and 1 hold luggage will be honoured wih no extra charge being made.

I called them as I had received an email from them this morning and the hold luggage 'link' to their website showed the 20kg info etc.

I also queried the hand luggage size as the email showed a case 55x40x20. Last week, coming back from Spain with Easyjet the size was 56x45x25, thought it odd that the reduction in size happended so quickly !

He explained that 56x45x25 is correct, some emails have been sent showing the wrong hand luggage size, it depends on when you made the booking.

I have just received an email from Easyjet with a ref number regarding my call. I plan to take it to the airport next week - just in case !

well here we are in Tenerife .... sunny weather (well its dark as write this!). No issues with the 20kg+ checkin case. I was reminded by the checkin staff at Manchester that bookings made after Oct 2010 only allow 20kg free, ours was made in May2010/

Our case was a healthy 31.7kgs, we got the orange 'heavy' label !

I have booked a trip from Luton to Sharm, using Hays Travel. When I go onto the Easyjet website, I can't log in to enter API as the booking wasn't made by me.

Will handing my passport over at check cover this, or would it be better to ring Easyjet and give the information over the phone?

Does the A320 operate on EZY2397? If so, with regards to the extra leg room seats, are they facing each other, or facing the front as standard? (I remember once being on a flight 20 or so years ago, and the emergency exit seats were facing each other.)

Do any of the Easyjet planes still have the old GB Airways IFE, or was that only applicable to Gatwick flights?

Never flown Easyjet before, so new to me, but the option of flying from Luton on a Saturday was too good to pass up.

Mobor One,

You'll need to speak to your travel agent about API. You don't say when you're travelling, but flights to SSH are normally covered by A320's. They have some new A320's as well as the ex GB's in their fleet with IFE that cover these flights. Seats are facing foward, you're probably thinking of the old Tridents with some rear facing seats (you're back back to the good old days now!).

Darren

Thanks Darren

Any idea how far in advance you can give API? Not going until September, but I do like to be organised.

It was very strange sitting facing someone on a plane I can tell you. I suppose I've giving my age away by saying I flew that way! Not sure, but it may have been a Danair flight!

I remember Tridents very well all three models! Do you remember Vanguards? I think they had rear facing seats too ..

Mobor One,

It various from carrier to carrier and tour operator, but from following the time of booking or from 6 months prior to your departure date. If you contact Hayes, they'll either collect the information from you or give you the booking reference so you can do it online.

I never had the pleasure of a Vanguard (too young!), but I love classic aircraft, they have more character than the modern jets.

Can enybody help with which terminal does Easyjet leave from at gatwick to go to Marrakesh? Thank you

Its the North Terminal.

Easyjet do fly from both terminals , i think there was a system where flights starting EZY 8??? were the north and EZY 5??? were south , its easy to find though by going to http://www.gatwickairport.com click on "flight information" then on "which terminal" and you put in destination and airline .

Many thanks Andy

Heads up to all you early bookers - Just realised flights now on sale up to Feb 2012!

...even though they still aren't sure what they are flying this summer! I booked Manchester-Zurich for September in January. On Monday morning the flights were showing as amended times in both directions in Manage Bookings (but no email so good job I was looking at my flight for Monday) then Thursday TWO emails turn up, one for each direction, but the return flght has now been changed back to the original plan. If it sticks at this I've now got perfect times in both directions - but I'm not betting on it!

carol77#,

thanks for that news re next year availability - have just booked our flights from Manchester to Tenerife for Feb2012.

I am travelling with Easyjet to Ibiza from Glasgow in July.Is there a bag drop or do I have to go through the normal check in procedures.The reason I ask is that I was thinking of booking a lounge but if the Easyjet desk check in does not open until 2 hours before the flight leaves then I feel it will be a waste of time.Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Is it the A319 or the A320 operating the Alicante flight from Manchester this summer ? Booked on it, a Monday flight in mid July & we've built a few A320's for easyJet the last few months so would love to fly on one of them brand new ones.

Hi

Does anyone know when Easyjet Winter flights from Gatwick to Tenerife will go on sale please?

Thanks
Jean

Hello Jean,

I booked mine when they first came out in May last year for flights from October.
