EasyJet large cabin bag

MrJ prefers a rucksack, still to size, but more malleable.

I flew by myself on easyJet in April, I had an under seat bag (free) and a small wheelie case (charged) for the overhead locker.

The measurements for easyJet cases include handles and wheels. Most boarding gates have a a bag checker thingy, if your case fits in you’re good to go.

As for asking cabin crew to help, I tried to do it myself but was struggling a cabin crew member immediately helped me and put it in the overhead locker. When we landed a young lad hopped up and said I will get that for you without me having to ask or struggle.

(I am not decrepit, a gym going mid 60’s reasonably fit, but I was and still am to certain extent recovering from an accident earlier this year. Under normal circumstances I would have no problem stowing a carry on case in the overhead locker)

If you get a wheeled case remember that the length limit must include the wheels, not just the size of the case body.

Vefanrick, it’s not the job of the hostess to lift your bag or a random passenger. What a cheek.

I'm glad to see this thread as I am making a one way trip with Lufthansa in a few weeks. I booked it on-line with Expedia and I am very confused about the baggage allocation!

I have mainly used Ryanair for years now and always pay for a.checked bag, as l enjoy the freedom of just having my handbag with me whilst walking through the airport. The flight is only for a hour or two-year you don't need more than just your purse, phone and a tissue, if at all, during the flight In case of really dire emergencies, I do always have my toothbrush and some spare knickers in my handbag.

If you really must heave a case around the airport and onto the plane, there are umpteen specialists on YouTube with recommendations, some genuinely testing the bags and not sponsored by any manufacturer in particular.

I haven’t had any problems with the large cabin bag on EasyJet. Get a younger passenger or the staff to put it in locker. I got my bag from TKMaxx ( take a tape measure with you to double check) .

That’s all well and good, but if your next flight is with Ryanair for example, would you need a smaller case?
Personally, I’d play it safe and have the smallest case, and wait for rationalisation on sizes!

I couldn't lift one and won’t ask anyone for help as someone did that to my husband, he put his back out and the longed for holiday a disaster. Check you can raise bag over your head,
