I have printed off my boarding passes does that mean I have checked in as I can't seem to see a link for check in. We are just travelling with hand luggage. Haven't flown with easyjet for a while and the web page seems to be different. Many thanks.

wilson2579,

If you've got as far as printing your boarding card, then you're checked-in. Make sure you don't detach the lower portion of the boarding pass, that must be done by the gate agent so take the full page.

Yes your are checked in for your flight. And since you have said you only have hand luggage, you can go through security into departures & miss out the check-in desks. Oops Dazbo beat me to it.

Just make sure your hand luggage is within the Easyjet sizes. Depending on the mood of the gate staff & if they are sticking to the bag sizies. If the bag(s) are to large & doesn't fit in the bag gauge, it will cost £40 to put it in the hold & will have to be paid for before you can board the flight.

Thanks for your answers. We have the same bags we have used for a few years for Ryanair and Easyjet and they fit in the guage so unless they have become smaller we shouldn't have a problem. Thanks again.

When we flew with EasyJet last month, they were being very strict with hand luggage. Might be best to check the measurements just to be sure. The allowance is one bag measuring a maximum of 56 x 45 x 25cm. And of course you still have to prove you can lift it up into the overhead lockers. We made a mistake last time and I had the heavy one to lift at the check-in desk! :tongue

Does anyone know if there is a specific number for special needs for easyjet or if it is just general customer services?

I am trying to get some insurance through Easyjet for my parents to Turkey but the only options seem to be UK or EU. They have used Easyjet insurance to Turkey before but I wondered if maybe they only do EU.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Only part of Turkey is actually in Europe, and the other part is in Asia!! Would payment by a 'Gold Card' credit card help to provide medical cover? Otherwise EuropAssistance - despite Turkey not being fully in Europe!!! - or Allianz might offer suitable cover depending also on what aspect of insurance you are hoping to get cover for. Hope you find a suitable solution to your problem.

Turkey is normally classed as Europe for insurance purposes but as it isn't in the EU I wasn't sure what to do. I can find plenty of other insurance to Turkey but Easyjet was coming up the cheapest last year when they wenr so they wanted to book again.

I have emailed them but sometimes they take a while to get back.

Credit card issuers and most insurers take the Eurovision/UEFA view of Europe and include Turkey (and often Israel). Interesting point about card/bank account inclusive insurance - theoretically (but unlikely) you could have a card that includes Turkey for spending but not insurance.

if the Easyjet form actually says EU I'd assume that's an abbreviation for EUrope not initials of European Union - the insurers always include non-Union European countries in European policies.

Thank you, I would imagine it was europe too otherwise they would have to discount other countries which were in Europe but not in the EU. I will wait to see what they say and post the answer on here in case anyone else comes up with this.

Never been with Easyjet before, now taken the plunge and booked a holiday :tup
I'm just wondering on their Speedy Boarding process? Has anyone recently used it?
Do you get given a different coloured boarding pass so the staff know you ''are'' a speedy boarder?

It's coming up at an extra £10 extra and was wondering if it's worth it :sun2

Your boarding pass shows a specific code that shows you've booked speedy boarding.

speedy Boarders, thanks for that, reading posts from a while back some say people still pushed through. So if they call the speedy ones first, they actually check the boading card?
It's only me and hubby so if we don't buy this we should be able to sit together.

On the boarding cards for speedy boarding it has SB on them, the same if you have done online checkin. I pay for it as I like to look out the window and this gives me a chance to get a seat with a window at the right angle so you are not breaking your neck to see and on the right side of the plane so I am not looking at the sun.

Be careful though. Before you book SB check if the airport your flying from uses a bus to ship passengers to the plane. If this is the case you may not be all speedy boarders on the bus as they will want to fill it up.
