Hi Andy :)

We're all travelling hand luggage only (I realise the BA allowance is slightly more than with EJ, in that you can also take a large handbag/laptop bag, but we'll pack with the EJ allowance in mind for the return flight)



EJ don't have a weight limit / allowance unless something has changed recently?

No weight limit, no, but with BA you are guaranteed to be allowed to take two pieces of hand luggage into the cabin and the dimensions of the second piece are fairly generous:

Main hand luggage:
56cm x 45cm x 25cm

(22in x 18in x 10in)

Must fit into the baggage gauge on display in the check-in area


Second piece of hand luggage:
45cm x 36cm 20cm

(18in x 14in x8in)

Must fit under a standard economy seat


So we'll only be taking the one piece of hand luggage so as to avoid any probs on the EJ flight home. I know EJ do sometimes allow a second piece, but if they wish they can stick to their rule and refuse it.

We'll be paying for the £8 'speedy boarding' allocated seats on our inbound EJ flight to guarantee our luggage won't need to go in the hold.

Hi Pippy , see you've worked out all the luggage rules and regs !! I've looked at the flight times at the destinations I was thinking of for a holiday and they both go at around 1 pm , for some reason I thought they were about 7am , as I've flown to them before at that time ! Perhaps it was different days ? I thought you would be on the first flight at 06.40 , I prefer to set off early too for short flights , shame it would have been nice to meet up for a chat , I'm sure you will have a great time in Barcelona, I take it you will going to the Nou Camp :D I would love to go there to see a match . Of course there are other great sights in Barcelona ;)

Our paths may cross again in the future , so the offer still stands !

Hi
I have booked through an agent and I cannot see any hold luggage on the boarding pass. I booked one lot of luggage through the agent and later another one direct with easyjet which went through the bank. There is a luggage symbol on the right hand side of the boarding pass , is this it. We have our seat numbers and SB which i presume is speedy boarding which was included with the seat price.
Thanks

yes it appears to be the most common topic on the Easyjet twitter page...

Yep, still waiting to book my inbound flight from Barcelona!

The only thing stopping me booking with BA, as I did for the outbound flight, is the fact Easyjet's last flight of the day from Barcelona to Gatwick is much later than BA's :)

I must say, I wish people would actually READ the posts on Easyjet's Facebook page, rather than asking the same question over and over.

I agree they ask the question & the answer is only 1 post above. I think they think if they keep asking they might bring the date forward.

Dont have facebook myself or twitter. Friend who has a facebook account let me have a look at the facebook

Easyjet page last time, when i was waiting for the may flights to be released.

Will have to tell her to keep me updated on the release date, as there's obviously lots of chat on there. :)

Not really, it's mainly post after post along the lines of "When are you releasing Summer 2014 flights to.......?"!

The replies from the Easyjet FB people have remained consistent for a while now, but still the same question is asked again and again! :rofl

Lets hope the constant chatter on social 'meedja' sites doesnt encourage EJ to inflate the initial release prices.

It was always great to bag some of the early bargains .

Advise please ...

Never flown with EasyJet before and have just booked a last minute break to Sharm with them. Re: extra legroom seats (bulkhead) .... would prefer to book window and middle seat, but should I need to get out of the seat to use the loo, would the person in the aisle seat need to move from their seat in order for me to get out, or is there sufficient room to pass them ... basically what is the seat pitch like in these seats?

Also, is there anywhere towards the front of the aircraft to stretch my legs?

Many thanks,
Pat

pat,

Yes, the person besides you would need to let you out unless you could squeeze past. Even though they are extra legroom, there's not usually enough to allow you to walk around them. As long as they don't fall asleep, they'll move over to let you past, it's not much of an issue. Extra legroom seats don't have a seat pitch figure as there's no seat in front to measure it too, but there's more room than standard seats with room in front to stretch your legs out. There's not a massive amount of room though, don't expect to extend your legs fully. These only the area adjacent to the toilet to stand around.

Well i have been looking at Easyjet's facebook page to see when these darned flights are being released!! It's like they're playing a game with us. :cry They obviously know the date but just refusing to say.
The most that they will say is that it is soon. Really helpful that... :que
