Baggage is the only unseen extra (if you ignore food and coffee). At
least Easyjet are not *considering* charging for the loo, unlike
Ryanair. I think they did that just for the publicity, as they withdrew
it quickly.
Or maybe they were testing the waters and the very public backlash
persuaded them not to.
I can see the baggage being an issue with the number of sweaters I'll
need for Switzerland that time of year!
You could wear them all.
Mind you Argos sell a pretty good (and big) cabin bag for about
£6.50. I
was surprised how large the max actually is. I immediately took off
the
wheels and handle which increased capacity enormously, and reduced the
weight. I really do not want to look like an Apprentice candidate!
Thanks for that suggestion. The bag I meant, not "look like an
Apprentice candidate..."
Just had a quick look now and maybe I found the wrong bag. Price
£7.50, the one I saw is larger than Easyjet's max cabin bag size
unfortunately.
Yes indeed. The only cheapish 'flight bag' with another case is much
too small:

£17.99
Silly - my £6.50 one is absolutely perfect and was a very much last
minute (day before) purchase for a job. It will be in Lucerne!
It was an interesting job. A friend's brother had been let down by a
builder who was hospitalised. I was whisked to Aberdeen, and discovered
in the process that motorbike parking in BAA airports is *free* and
right next to the terminal. Perfect. There are also no car park
tickets - one just gets waved through. Good for 6 months parking then (8-)#
You could drive to Luton by motorbike (8-)# Silly you may say, but I
have just been to St David's and it only took 4.5 hours by bike.
Switzerland isn't EU of course, so we need to find out if a laptop or
USB pens (QL On A Stick) can be taken, for example. As I've only just
Definitely OK.
As long as the laptop is not in checked-in hold luggage it seems, must
be in cabin hand baggage (Not that you'd risk putting it in hold
baggage anyway)
Odd - why I wonder? Is that only Easyjet?
Easyjet allow only one cabin bag per person, not even handbags.
