Plane passengers travelling with easyJet told cabin bag error can 'cost money'

Plane passengers travelling with easyJet were reminded that a cabin-bag mistake can lead to added charges. The guidance focuses on the airline’s allowance policy: each passenger can bring one small cabin bag free of charge, up to 15kg, as long as it can be lifted and carried by the traveller. If the bag cannot fit beneath the seat in front, passengers may need to pay an additional fee due to restricted overhead locker space. The easyJet website also states that extra bags can be purchased online via Manage bookings, and that buying online is usually cheaper than paying at the airport, with fees varying by route, flight and booking time. The article also notes the economic trade-off for groups deciding between two cabin bags versus sharing a checked suitcase, particularly during busy seasons. Travel expert Ricky Durrance highlighted that understanding the rules can prevent cost creep.
