Hi Nola

I think we have a language/translation problem.

Rules: one cabin bag, maximum size 56cm x 45cm x 25cm including wheels and handles.

THIS HAS NOT CHANGED

But if there is a shortage of space in the overhead lockers then you might have a bag this size checked into the hold for free.

If you are using a bag 50cm x 40cm x 20cm or less then you will not be asked to check this as it will fit under the seat in front of you.

The only important thing is the one bag rule.

If you have bought the larger bag it will be fine, but as a precaution put your purse (don't know what this is in American) camera, iPad, medicines etc into a plastic bag which can be taken out so your valuables stay with you when the bag is gate checked.

You don't have to spend anymore money on luggage.

Have a good trip

I'm due to fly with easyjet in jan, never flown with them before. As well as my hand luggage case, can I keep my handbag out with me or does this have to go in the case the same as Ryan air? Any help please, thanks.

From Easyjet's website:

The use of 'ONE' in capitals indicates that you are allowed ONE bag and any handbag you carry will have to fit into that ONE bag.

Cabin bag guarantee on all flights. Make sure your cabin bag travels with you.

Our customers have told us they want to keep their cabin bag with them – and not have to put it in the hold on busy flights where overhead locker space is limited.

And now you can. Our new cabin bag guarantee means you can make sure your bag travels with you in the cabin, even on the busiest flights.

To take advantage of the guarantee, simply bring ONE slightly smaller bag no bigger than 50 x 40 x 20cm including handles and wheels and we’ll guarantee it will travel with you either in the overhead locker or, if necessary, under the seat in front of you.

You can still choose to bring ONE slightly bigger bag up to the maximum size of 56 x 45 x 25cm including handles and wheels, but on some busy flights your bag may have to go into the hold.

It's all clearly explained on their website:

Not really that clear, because I haven´t seen in their website the word FREE when they explain what happens with luggage that not exceed the limit of size and it´s put in hold. I have seen the word free in every other part where they explain the new rule (like in this forum) but it is not in their website, which I think can lead to being charge for that. Have you found an official easyjet explanation saying that?

They don't charge, as long as it doesn't exceed their maximum size for hand luggage!

Can't see a fee here

U don't get charged when your hand luggage gets put into the hold,...it is explained on the T& C,

I cant see anywhere on the T&C's that claims it is free (I'm even more confused now).

U don't check your hand luggage in u arrive at the gate with it as normal,if its a full flight they take your hand luggage from u & check it in to go in the hold u get to take anything u need for the flight out of it & when u arrive at your destination u go collect your handluggage from the carrousel,..its happened to me twice once in May & once in September,no problem & deffo no charge???
